Turn an Ear to Hear: How Hearing-Impaired Listeners Can Exploit Head Orientation to Enhance Their Speech Intelligibility in Noisy Social Settings

Trends in Hearing, 2018
Turning an ear toward the talker can enhance spatial release from masking. Here, with their head free, listeners attended to speech at a gradually diminishing signal-to-noise ratio and with the noise source azimuthally separated from the speech source by

Application Research of Microstructured Flexible Sensors in Rehabilitative Wearable Sensing

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flexible sensors enable the continuous, real‐time monitoring of the physiological and movement signals of patients, providing data support for precise rehabilitation strategies and playing a crucial role in rehabilitation medicine. However, traditional rigid sensors are often incompatible with dynamic body contours due to their high material ...

Cochlear patency problems in cochlear implantation [PDF]

The Laryngoscope, 1987
AbstractSensory deafness may be associated with partial or total obliteration of the cochlear scalae. Before undertaking cochlear implant surgery, a preoperative assessment of cochlear patency with high‐resolution computed tomography (CT) is indicated. To determine the accuracy of pre‐implant CT, a review of the radiographic and surgical findings in 36

Is There a Role for Sodium Fluoride in Otosclerosis Treatment?

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Various reports have investigated the role of NaF for stabilizing SNHL in the setting of otosclerosis; however, there currently remains no established practice guideline or widespread consensus. The purpose of this paper is to interpret the literature to determine best practices for the use of NaF in otosclerosis management.

Optimizing Dizziness Management: Impact of Audiology Triage on Care Efficiency

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the impact of a vestibular audiology‐driven triage system on care efficiency for patients presenting with dizziness. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of all patients who underwent comprehensive Balance Function Testing (BFT) at the University of Pennsylvania vestibular clinic between September 2019 and June ...

Applications of pre- and intraoperative eAEP like eABR in cochlear implant candidacy

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering
Introduction: Preoperative electrically auditory evoked potentials (= eAEP, i.e., eABR for brainstem, eAMLR for midbrain, and eALR for cortex) can be performed under local anesthesia, achieving subjective sensation and hearing in patients having a ...

Mastoid Surgery Does Not Normalize Tympanometric Middle Ear Pressure in Children With Cholesteatoma

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Conflicting mechanism‐based hypotheses have been used to promote selection of different approaches to management of the mastoid in order to optimize middle ear pressure homeostasis after removal of cholesteatoma. For example: (a) conservation of mastoid mucosa and opening of ventilation pathways endoscopically to normalize function, (b) removal of ...

The Role of Autoimmunity in the Pathogenesis of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Neural Plasticity, 2018
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) is a clinically common acute symptom in otolaryngology. Although the incidence of SSHL has increased around the world in recent years, the etiology of the disease is still unclear.

Consonant and Vowel Confusions in Well-Performing Children and Adolescents With Cochlear Implants, Measured by a Nonsense Syllable Repetition Test

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
Although the majority of early implanted, profoundly deaf children with cochlear implants (CIs), will develop correct pronunciation if they receive adequate oral language stimulation, many of them have difficulties with perceiving minute details of ...

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).
