An artificial patient for pure-tone audiometry [PDF]
The successful treatment of hearing loss depends on the individual practitioner’s experience and skill. So far, there is no standard available to evaluate the practitioner’s testing skills. To assess every practitioner equally, the paper proposes a first

Borrelia burgdorferi Infection Is Worth Screening to Investigate Sensorineural Hearing Loss Etiology: A Systematic Review [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a common hearing disorder prevalent. Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi) is a spirochete whose infection has been shown to result in SNHL. This systematic review aims to investigate the prevalence and association of B. burgdorferi infection in SNHL.
