The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.The literature demonstrates that bone‐anchored hearing implants have a positive impact on auditory performance and quality of life (QoL), but these outcomes may not always correlate. This systematic review analyzed 56 articles to identify discrepancies in self‐reported, disease‐specific QoL benefits among patients with either unilateral sensorineural ...

Synchrotron‐Based Trauma Assessment of Robotic Electrode Insertions in Cochlear Implantation
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Minimizing intraoperative trauma during cochlear implant electrode insertion is crucial for preserving residual hearing, and efforts have been made to introduce robotic systems for electrode insertion. On temporal bone specimens, the OTODRIVE system demonstrated its ability to enable consistent and controlled electrode placement while minimizing trauma

A Clinical Feasibility Study of Spinal Evoked Compound Action Potential Estimation Methods
Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021 Abstract Objectives Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a treatment for chronic neuropathic pain. Recently, SCS has been enhanced further with evoked compound action potential (ECAP) sensing. Characteristics of the ECAP, if appropriately isolated from concurrent stimulation artifact (SA), may be used to control, and aid in the programming of, SCS systems.

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study examines vestibular degeneration following head trauma, comparing cases with and without fractures. Histopathological analysis of 26 temporal bones showed more severe damage in nonfracture cases, particularly in Scarpa's ganglion cells and vestibular hair cells.
