Assessing the accuracy and reliability of application-based audiometry for hearing evaluation

Scientific Reports
Pure-tone audiometry (PTA) is the gold standard for assessing hearing loss. However, traditional PTA tests require specialized equipment, trained personnel, and a soundproof environment.

Performance and Reliability Evaluation of an Automated Bone-Conduction Audiometry Using Machine Learning

Trends in Hearing
To date, pure-tone audiometry remains the gold standard for clinical auditory testing. However, pure-tone audiometry is time-consuming and only provides a discrete estimate of hearing acuity. Here, we aim to address these two main drawbacks by developing

Progress On Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Mechanisms and Therapies

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hearing loss is the most common disabling disease among humans, which adversely affects human health. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) accounting for approximately 63% of all hearing loss cases. SNHL may be classified into age‐related hearing loss (ARHL), drug‐induced hearing loss (DIHL), noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), and sudden ...

Subjective Visual Vertical Can be an Effective Tool to Evaluate Vestibular Function of Stapedotomy

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate if the subjective visual vertical/horizontal (SVV/SVH) can be used to evaluate the otolith organ of otosclerosis and stapedotomy. Design A total of 19 patients who were diagnosed with otosclerosis and underwent surgical treatment in our hospital were collected.

Dopamine: The Essential Bridge Mediating Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hippocampus‐Dependent Learning and Memory Impairments

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea is a clinical syndrome that triggers a series of pathophysiologic changes, including disturbed sleep architecture, chronic intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia, and ultimately severe cognitive dysfunction. The hippocampus plays a key role in various cognitive processes such as learning and memory.

Comorbidity Patterns Between Hearing Loss and Symptomatic Dizziness in Middle‐Aged and Older Adults

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore the comorbidity patterns between hearing loss and symptomatic dizziness (HL‐SD) in middle‐aged and older adults. Methods This cross‐sectional study used data from the 1999 to 2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). After excluding incomplete data, 2961 participants aged 40–69 were analyzed. Logistic
