Labyrinthine Abnormalities on MRI in Untreated Otosclerosis: Prevalence and Clinical Relevance
In untreated otosclerosis with labyrinthine symptoms, delayed 3D FLAIR MRI rarely demonstrates endolymphatic hydrops but frequently reveals blood–labyrinth barrier (BLB) disruption. BLB enhancement is spatially associated with cochlear endosteal and round window involvement and increases with the severity of the hearing loss phenotype.

Radiotherapy‐Induced Otitis Media With Effusion in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Meta‐Analysis
This meta‐analysis of eight studies comprising 582 NPC patients provides the first quantitative synthesis of radiotherapy‐induced otitis media with effusion (OME), demonstrating a significant overall risk difference of 0.18 (95% CI: −0.06 to 0.42, p < 0.0001) in OME naive ears.

Cochlear Implantation in Autoimmune Inner‐Ear Disease: Outcome and Patient‐Reported Benefit
This study demonstrates that patients with secondary autoimmune inner‐ear disease (AIED) achieve significant improvements in speech perception and quality of life following cochlear implantation. Although AIED patients may show slightly lower performance in noisy environments compared to controls, their subjective hearing benefit converges with matched

Quantifying Soft‐Surgery in Cochlear Implantation: Multimodal Data From 30 International Specialists
Objective data from 30 specialist cochlear implant surgeons showed that surgical handling strongly influences intracochlear mechanical stress during implantation. Surgeons with fewer than 50 lifetime insertions performed significantly worse than more experienced colleagues, while self‐assessment did not reflect objective performance in any group ...
