Robotic‐Assisted Electrode Array Insertion Improves Stability of Acoustic Hearing Thresholds

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the impact of robotic‐assisted electrode array insertion on rates of delayed‐onset hearing loss (DOHL). DOHL occurred in 22 of 60 subjects (37%) in the manual cohort compared with 2 of 29 subjects (7%) in the robotic‐assisted cohort, representing a statistically significant reduction (p = 0.002).

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.

Can unilateral, progressive or sudden hearing loss be immune-mediated in origin? [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to demonstrate that the positivity of nonspecific immunological tests could be found not only in bilateral hearing loss but also in unilateral cases, either sudden or progressive. METHOD: An observational case

Early Spectral Resolution Predicts Later Speech Recognition in Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In 531 ears from 498 adult cochlear implant recipients, spectral modulation detection (EasyQSMD) stabilized within 1 week post‐activation and significantly predicted later speech recognition outcomes. Early spectral resolution thresholds can identify potential poor performers during the critical first month, enabling earlier implementation of targeted ...

Efeitos da radiação acústica na obtenção dos limiares ósseos Acoustic radiation effects on bone conduction threshold measurement

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2010
Radiação acústica é uma fuga da energia sonora do vibrador ósseo que pode ser detectada pela via aérea. A presença da radiação acústica poderia resultar em um limiar ósseo falso, um gap aéreo-ósseo irreal, nas frequências altas.

Corticosteroid Exposure in Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Global Airway Disease: Adrenal and Bone Impact

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate cumulative corticosteroid (CC) burden in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), with or without coexisting asthma (global airway disease, GAD), referred for biologic treatment, and to assess the prevalence of CC‐related comorbidities, including secondary adrenal insufficiency, osteopenia and ...

Adult hearing screening: the Cyprus Pilot Program

Audiology Research, 2011
Hearing loss is the third most common condition affecting adults over 65 (Cruickshanks et al., 1998). It can affect quality of life, limiting the ability to communicate efficiently, and leading to isolation, psychological strain, and functional decline ...

Determination and evaluation of clinically efficient stopping criteria for the multiple auditory steady-state response technique [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Although the auditory steady-state response (ASSR) technique utilizes objective statistical detection algorithms to estimate behavioural hearing thresholds, the audiologist still has to decide when to terminate ASSR recordings introducing ...

Phenotypic Subtypes of Obstructive Eustachian Tube Dysfunction as Defined by Cluster Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Obstructive ETD encompasses five clinically distinct phenotypes, ranging from mild, post‐upper respiratory infection presentations to chronic, bilateral disease driven by sinusitis and reflux. These were identified through hierarchical cluster analysis of 490 patients using seven key clinical variables.
