Olfactory implants are an emerging area of therapy aimed at restoring the sense of smell through electrical stimulation of the olfactory pathway. This survey aimed to assess patient opinions and the acceptability of olfactory implants, including willingness to undergo surgery, as well as factors influencing their decision\u2010making process.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design and Setting<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a cross\u2010sectional survey consisting of two online questionnaires circulated via the charity SmellTaste, exploring features and impacts of SATDs, and opinions surrounding olfactory implants in those formally diagnosed or self\u2010identifying with SATDs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 410 participants completed the primary questionnaire assessing general demographics and olfactory experiences. A further 47 participants completed the second, more in\u2010depth questionnaire about the perceptions on olfactory implants. Across both questionnaires, more females responded than males\u2014a trend seen throughout research on SATDs. An overwhelming majority of participants would be willing to wear a non\u2010implantable device to help detect odour quantity and quality, especially if used to detect dangers such as gas and fires. Opinions on surgically implantable devices varied more. Most patients were amenable prior to any mention of risks, but further probing revealed understanding risks and success rates of any procedure were key to guiding patient decisions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There are patients with olfactory loss who are willing to use an olfactory implant; therefore, more extensive research into the safety, viability and efficacy of olfactory implants is needed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/coa.70182","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,18]],"date-time":"2026-10-18T23:15:12Z","timestamp":1792365312000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Cross\u2010Sectional Study of Patient Views on Acceptability of Olfactory Implants"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-4513-7489","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabija","family":"Klyvyte","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rhinology and Olfactology Research Group, Norwich Medical School University of East Anglia  Norwich UK"},{"name":"Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust  Norwich UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-3900-1658","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William","family":"Ansley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rhinology and Olfactology Research Group, Norwich Medical School University of East Anglia  Norwich UK"},{"name":"Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust  Norwich UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2953-313X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet","family":"Ergisi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rhinology and Olfactology Research Group, Norwich Medical School University of East Anglia  Norwich UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3759-3675","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lois","family":"Camp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rhinology and Olfactology Research Group, Norwich Medical School University of East Anglia  Norwich UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8504-0030","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prajakta","family":"Choudari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rhinology and Olfactology Research Group, Norwich Medical School University of East Anglia  Norwich UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1050-5208","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natalia","family":"Glibbery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rhinology and Olfactology Research Group, Norwich Medical School University of East Anglia  Norwich UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-8116-6288","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammed","family":"Jawad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rhinology and Olfactology Research Group, Norwich Medical School University of East Anglia  Norwich UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tharsika","family":"Myuran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rhinology and Olfactology Research Group, Norwich Medical School University of East Anglia  Norwich UK"},{"name":"Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust  Basingstoke UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Duncan","family":"Boak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SmellTaste, Unit 2, Franklins House, Wesley Lane  Bicester UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carl","family":"Philpott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rhinology and Olfactology Research Group, Norwich Medical School University of East Anglia  Norwich UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"8","key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1535","DOI":"10.1002\/alr.23103","article-title":"The Growing Burden of Long COVID in the United Kingdom: Insights From the UK Coronavirus Infection Survey","volume":"13","author":"Gokani S.
