Parent experiences with genetic testing for pediatric hearing loss

Journal of Genetic Counseling, EarlyView.
Abstract The purpose of the current study was to assess parent perceptions and experiences of genetic testing, as well as barriers for not undergoing testing in a sample of families of children with hearing loss. A 44‐item questionnaire, The Parent Perception of Genetic Testing Questionnaire developed by the research study team was administered ...

Evaluation of Software‐Optimized Protocols for Acoustic Noise Reduction During Brain MRI at 7 Tesla

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background MR‐generated acoustic noise may be particularly concerning at 7‐Tesla (T) systems. Noise levels can be reduced by altering gradient output using software optimization. However, such alterations might influence image quality or prolong scan times, and these optimizations have not been well characterized.

Concessions in audiology

, 2015
Previous studies of clinical settings show that patients exhibit an orientation towards an institutional restriction against them proposing treatment solutions for their medical condition. In this paper we demonstrate how that restriction is relaxed in a particular clinical setting, that of audiology. Focusing on video-recorded interactions in a Danish

Prevalence of Molecular Diagnoses for Usher Syndrome and the Need for Coordinated Care

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Usher syndrome (USH) is a rare, autosomal‐recessive genetic disorder and a leading cause of early onset deaf‐blindness. Molecular testing is able to distinguish USH subtypes by causative gene. Molecular testing and diagnosis should be part of the routine care of USH individuals to facilitate earlier interventions and coordinated care between ...

Temporal Trends in and Patient Characteristics Associated with Surgery for Otitis Media

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In this study, the tympanostomy tube insertion (TTI) rate was 5.3%, which increased to approximately 20% in children with history of otitis media. Though multiple characteristics increase the risk of TTI, sensorineural hearing loss for TTI alone, and age 4–8 years at time of presentation in the TTI‐A subset carried the highest risk.

Long‐Term Outcomes of Acute Temporal Bone Fractures

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
A single‐center retrospective review of 220 patients with acute temporal bone fractures with both inpatient and follow‐up outpatient otolaryngology evaluation comparing otological outcomes. There was a significant decrease in the rates of hemotympanum, EAC injury, facial nerve weakness, and CSF otorrhea without changes in subjective hearing loss ...

Long‐Term Auditory and Speech Outcomes of Cochlear Implantation in Children with IP‐I Malformation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study aimed to investigate the long‐term auditory and speech outcomes in children with Incomplete Partition Type I (IP‐I) who underwent cochlear implantation (CI) and compared their progress to implanted children with normal cochlea. In this long term follow‐up, children with IP‐Ι had shown continuous improvement in auditory and speech ...

Pediatric Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction: A Review of 26 Cases

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We report a pediatric cohort of patients with peripheral bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH) at a multidisciplinary, tertiary care pediatric vestibular clinic. Patients frequently had history of sensorineural hearing loss and developmental delays, with associated vestibulo‐ocular reflex (VOR) impairments during testing.

Access to Cochlear Implantation: Trends in Surgeon Volume and Training

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Based on data from one cochlear implant (CI) manufacturer, a minority of surgeons (12.5%) registered 25 or more devices per year. Of those who register 25 or more devices per year, 88% have one or two years of fellowship training in otology and/or neurotology (O&N).
