Cholesteatoma has an altered microbiota with a higher abundance of Staphylococcus species
Objective To compare the microbiota between cholesteatoma and chronic suppurative otitis media (COM) and to identify potential pathogens that explain the relevant phenotypes of cholesteatoma. Study Design Prospective cohort study.

As a result of this study, it was seen that using CROS and BiCROS hearing aids increased speech understanding performance in noise and reduced listening effort after starting to use them. Furthermore, as the use of the device continued, it was observed that speech performance in noise increased and listening efforts decreased over time.

Improving Tympanoplasty: Transverse External Auditory Canal Flap Advancement
We conducted this study to investigate the clinical outcomes of a new self‐created technique for improving tympanoplasty. This technique, called the external auditory canal flap advancement method, aims to treat large tympanic membrane perforations, particularly those without residual edges at the anterior margin.

The State of High‐Resolution Imaging of the Human Inner Ear: A Look Into the Black Box
High‐resolution imaging of the cochlea is challenged by numerous unique aspects of this organ, where sensorineural cells, crucial for hearing, are too small for conventional modalities like magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. This article reviews current imaging techniques, emerging technologies, and innovations aimed at improving ...

Massive Temporal Lobe Cholesteatoma
Introduction. Intracranial extension of cholesteatoma is rare. This may occur de novo or recur some time later either contiguous with or separate to the site of the original cholesteatoma. Presentation of Case.

The Significance of Subperiosteal Abscess Volume in Acute Mastoiditis
Both needle aspiration and I&D are safe methods to reduce the infective and inflammatory load of subperiosteal abscess due to acute mastoiditis and provide pus for culture. Higher volumes (~3 cm3 and more) should be managed initially with cortical mastoidectomy since the risk of no improvement following needle aspiration or I&D is higher.

The Role of EGFR/PI3K/Akt/cyclinD1 Signaling Pathway in Acquired Middle Ear Cholesteatoma
Cholesteatoma is a benign keratinizing and hyper proliferative squamous epithelial lesion of the temporal bone. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is one of the most important cytokines which has been shown to play a critical role in cholesteatoma.

ABSTRACT Introduction Tympanic membrane perforation can cause hearing impairment with detrimental effects on communication and quality of life, and is a problem affecting an estimated 250 million people. To date, there is little analysis to inform public policy on options for assistive hearing technology rehabilitation in this group.
