Predictors of Early and Long‐Term Sound Quality Ratings in Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This longitudinal study of 339 adult cochlear implant recipients demonstrates that subjective sound quality ratings improve significantly during the first 6 months post‐activation before plateauing, with early outcomes predicted by electrode placement factors (closer modiolar distance and deeper insertion depth), pre‐operative sound quality, and word ...

CK2 Phosphorylates and Inhibits TAp73 Tumor Suppressor Function to Promote Expression of Cancer Stem Cell Genes and Phenotype in Head and Neck Cancer

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2014
Cancer stem cells (CSC) and genes have been linked to cancer development and therapeutic resistance, but the signaling mechanisms regulating CSC genes and phenotype are incompletely understood. CK2 has emerged as a key signal serine/threonine kinase that

Impact of Acute Versus Chronic Unilateral Hearing Loss on Head Movement in a Novel Binaural Task

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Individuals with single‐sided deafness (SSD) may develop adaptive listening strategies with head movement patterns to optimize monaural localization and speech‐in‐noise understanding. Granular understanding of adaptive behaviors may better inform rehabilitation for SSD.

Ecological Momentary Assessment of Voice & Psychological Factors: Group & Individual Mechanisms

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Adults (N = 32) with primary muscle tension dysphonia completed multiple assessments daily for 10 days. In group‐level causal modeling, anxiety was causal for voice handicap, but perceived control was not. Individual‐level analyses identified various causal factors for voice handicap including perceived control and negative affect, and to a lesser ...

open access: yesEar & Hearing, 2000
The last decade has led to the identification of several mitochondrial DNA mutations associated with hearing loss. Since the only known function of the human mitochondrial chromosome is to participate in the production of chemical energy through oxidative phosphorylation, it was not unexpected that mitochondrial mutations interfering with energy ...

Cochlear Implantation and Facial Nerve Stimulation: Clinical and Anatomic Correlations

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
One rare complication of cochlear implantation (CI) is facial nerve stimulation (FNS) and in this study the location and insertion depths for electrode contacts causing FNS was analyzed, and the anatomical variance of the human facial nerve canal (FNC) was explored to elucidate the mechanisms underlying FNS.
