World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Certain blood components, including blood lipids, coagulation parameters, and homocysteine, have been suggested to correlate with the incidence and prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). However, the nature of these associations remains controversial.

An Experimental Study on the Protective Effect of Memantine in Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective This study examined the potential protective effects of memantine, an N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, against acoustic trauma (AT) in guinea pigs, using electrophysiological and histopathological analyses. Methods Thirty guinea pigs with normal hearing were divided into six groups (n = 5 per group): Group 1 (control),

Comprehensive Evaluation of AI Consent Forms in Otolaryngologic Surgery
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Surgical consent documents are frequently written at reading levels exceeding average health literacy. Large language models (LLMs) may offer a scalable approach to generating clearer, procedure‐specific consent forms. This study evaluated the clarity, clinical accuracy, and acceptability of consent forms generated by GPT‐4 and ...

Speech Recognition Deficits in Presbyacusis: Links to Cortical Structural and Functional Alterations
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To characterize speech recognition in presbyacusis and its associated neurophysiological and cortical structural features, and to explore structure‐function‐behavior relationships within the presbyacusis phenotype. Methods Thirty elderly patients with presbyacusis(HI) and thirty‐three healthy young controls(NH) completed a behavioral

Pan-caspase inhibitor protects against noise-induced hearing loss in a rodent model
Frontiers in NeuroscienceBackgroundDespite the high prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), no effective treatments exist currently. Underlying mechanisms behind NIHL include elevated reactive oxygen species and inflammation, all which ultimately lead to cellular ...

Anatomical Characteristics of the Facial Nerve in Patients With Cochlear Hypoplasia
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To quantitatively characterize the spatial relationships between intratemporal facial nerve segments and key cochlear implantation (CI) landmarks in cochlear hypoplasia (CH), and to compare these features with age‐matched CI recipients with normal inner ear anatomy, thereby informing preoperative planning and facial nerve ...

Association Characteristics and Potential Mechanisms of Aging, Gut Microbiota, and Hearing Loss
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.The study found that aging leads to unchanged gut microbiota alpha diversity but an increase in Bacteroidetes and a decrease in Firmicutes at the phylum level, with specific genera, species, and functional pathways co‐associated with aging and hearing loss. Through constructing a microbe‐metabolite network, it revealed the mechanism by which protective

The Moral (Un)Desirability of New Biomedical Technologies as Potential Techno‐Fixes
Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The techno‐fix argument, used to argue against technological interventions that address the consequences of social problems instead of their underlying causes, is increasingly invoked in biomedical discussions. However, especially in biomedicine, the techno‐fix argument remains conceptually underdeveloped.
