Correction to: European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology https://doi.org/10.1007/s00405-021-07162-0

In the original publication of the article, affiliation 1 was published incorrectly and the correct affiliation 1 should read as below,

Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, University of Helsinki and HUS Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland

In addition, under funding section, the university name should read as “Helsinki University Hospital” instead “Helsinki University Central Hospital”.

The original article was updated.
