Effects of Asymmetric Auditory Deprivation in Sequential Cochlear Implant

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the influence of auditory deprivation on sequential cochlear implants in postlingual patients, comparing the ear with shorter deprivation (ESAD), longer deprivation (ELAD), and the bilateral condition (BIL). Study design Retrospective study. Setting A tertiary referral center.

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 ...

Complications of Cochlear Implant Surgery in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries: A Systematic Review

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Hearing loss disproportionately affects low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Recent advances in cochlear implant surgery have benefitted patients globally, but the risk of complications in LMICs may be heightened due to social and structural factors.

Scan for Success? Number Needed to Scan and Management Changes in Preoperative Otosclerosis: Quantitative Analysis

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To quantify the cumulative number of images needed to scan (NNS) with preoperative high‐resolution temporal bone computed tomography (HR‐TBCT) to yield a change in management in patients undergoing primary stapes surgery for otosclerosis‐related hearing loss. Study Design Retrospective cohort.

A Protocol for Reconstructing Complex Lateral Skull Base Defects: Two Decades of Tertiary Care Experience

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To describe a multidisciplinary protocol for the resection and reconstruction of complex lateral skull base pathology, based on over two decades of experience in a high‐volume tertiary referral center in the United Kingdom. Study Design Retrospective descriptive analysis of institutional practice. Setting A high‐volume tertiary skull

Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies

VIEW, EarlyView.
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Comorbidity Patterns Between Hearing Loss and Symptomatic Dizziness in Middle‐Aged and Older Adults

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore the comorbidity patterns between hearing loss and symptomatic dizziness (HL‐SD) in middle‐aged and older adults. Methods This cross‐sectional study used data from the 1999 to 2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). After excluding incomplete data, 2961 participants aged 40–69 were analyzed. Logistic

Polarity sensitivity to symmetric, biphasic monopolar pulses is not a reliable indicator of peripheral axonal degeneration in human cochlear implant users

Frontiers in Audiology and Otology
This study aimed to determine whether the effect of changing stimulus polarity on the electrically evoked compound action potential (eCAP) threshold—referred to as the polarity effect—could be used to assess the degeneration of the peripheral axon of the
