In 1944, the department began training specialists through clinical residency, and in 1957, scientific staff through postgraduate training.

Over the past period, hundreds of doctors have received training, specialization and clinical residency at the department. The department trained 5 doctors of medical sciences and 21 candidates of medical sciences. Currently, the department is conducting general and thematic training courses for doctors. Otorhinolaryngologists, audiologists, phoniatric specialists, as well as otorhinolaryngologists are being trained on the basis of specialization training programs. Training of scientific-pedagogical personnel is being carried out through basic doctoral studies and the system of independent researchers.

Practical and theoretical problems of ear diseases have been studied in depth during the whole period of the department's activity. In particular, L.T. Levin proposed improved methods of middle ear remedial surgery, and S.I. Shumsky proposed improved methods of roentgenography of temporal bones.

The department is considered one of the "pioneers" in the use of hirudotherapy in otorhinolaryngology. The results of extensive scientific research in this direction, which began in the 80s of the 20th century, under the leadership of associate professor T. Sh.

Artikova on the problem of chronic tonsillitis (scientific work performed for receiving the Ph.D. scientific degree), S.A. Khasanov carried out scientific research.

For the first time in Uzbekistan, cochlear implantation was performed in 2009 under the leadership of professor S.S. Arifov, assistant R.Z. Umarov at the "ProfMedServis" clinic, which is the clinical base of the department. endoscopic removal of tromoembolic complications has been put into practice.
