Vestibular dysfunction and postural balance in cochlear implant users: a narrative literature review

open access: yesRevista CEFAC
Cochlear implants directly stimulate nerve fibers and ganglion cells of the auditory nerve, which transform sound energy into low levels of electrical current, stimulating the remaining fibers of the auditory nerve in patients with severe to profound ...

Mechanisms of sensorineural cell damage, death and survival in the cochlea. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The majority of acquired hearing loss, including presbycusis, is caused by irreversible damage to the sensorineural tissues of the cochlea. This article reviews the intracellular mechanisms that contribute to sensorineural damage in the cochlea, as well ...

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Non‐mammaliaform synapsids (NMS) represent the closest relatives of today's mammals among the early amniotes. Exploring their brain and nervous system is key to understanding how mammals evolved. Here, using CT and Synchrotron scanning, we document for the first time three extreme cases of neurosensory and behavioral adaptations that probe ...

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

The impact of the size and angle of the cochlear basal turn on translocation of a pre-curved mid-scala cochlear implant electrode

open access: yesScientific Reports
Scalar translocation is a severe form of intra-cochlear trauma during cochlear implant (CI) electrode insertion. This study explored the hypothesis that the dimensions of the cochlear basal turn and orientation of its inferior segment relative to ...

Neuro-electronic technology in medicine and beyond [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
This dissertation looks at the technology and social issues involved with interfacing electronics directly to the human nervous system, in particular the methods for both reading and stimulating nerves.

Sudden hearing loss as an early detector of multiple sclerosis: a systematic review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
To evaluate whether Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (S-SNHL) may be an early symptom of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). A systematic review was conducted using the following keywords: "Multiple sclerosis, hearing loss, sudden hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus ...

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Cochlear Implantation in Neurobrucellosis

open access: yesBalkan Medical Journal, 2016
Background: Neurobrucellosis is a disease consisting of a wide spectrum of complications such as peripheral neuropathy, cranial nerve involvement, ataxia, meningeal irritation, paraplegia, seizures, coma, and even death. The vestibulocochlear nerve seems

Applicability of subcortical EEG metrics of synaptopathy to older listeners with impaired audiograms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Emerging evidence suggests that cochlear synaptopathy is a common feature of sensorineural hearing loss, but it is not known to what extent electrophysiological metrics targeting synaptopathy in animals can be applied to people, such as those with ...
