Prevalence, severity and factors of hearing loss in hemodialysis patients: A cross‐sectional study in Northern Tanzania

Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hearing loss, affecting 20% of the global population, disproportionately impacts low‐ and middle‐income countries, including Africa. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is prevalent among hemodialysis patients. In Tanzania, the growing number of hemodialysis patients highlights the need for hearing assessments.

Pure tone audiometry and cerebral pathology in healthy older adults [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2019
BackgroundHearing impairment may be a modifiable risk factor for dementia. However, it is unclear how hearing associates with pathologies relevant to dementia in preclinical populations.MethodsData from 368 cognitively healthy individuals born during 1 week in 1946 (age range 69.2–71.9 years), who underwent structural MRI,18F-florbetapir positron ...

Long‐Term Cochlear Implant Sensitivity in Patients With Far Advanced Otosclerosis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study aimed to evaluate mid‐ and long‐term cochlear implant fitting in otosclerosis patients compared to a control group. It suggested significant tissue remodeling at the cochlear apex in otosclerosis patients, likely increasing resistance to electrical currents delivered by the implant.

Robotic‐Assisted Electrode Array Insertion Improves Rates of Hearing Preservation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The purpose of our study is to understand the extent to which robotic‐assisted electrode array (EA) insertion improves hearing preservation. Our results show that robotic‐assisted EA insertion is associated with improved hearing preservation over 1 year compared with manual insertion.

Safe Sound: Highlighting Electronic Dance Music Attendees' Unique Hearing Protection Practices

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Electronic dance music attendees (EDMAs) stand out as a group more likely to use hearing protection (HP) compared to non‐EDM attendees (non‐EDMAs), making them an interesting focus for understanding the adoption of healthier auditory habits. This study delved into the factors driving HP use among EDMAs, uncovering key influences such as personal ...

Tactile responses in pure-tone audiometry: a saccule function? [PDF]

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2013
As generally accepted, low-frequency bone-conduction thresholds obtained in the 35–55 dB range are often tactile responses and not due to auditory stimulation [4]. Since it is recently known that low-frequency airand bone-conducted stimuli can be used to test otolithic function also in humans [2], we wondered if such ‘‘false-positive’’ boneconduction ...
