Shedding light on optical cochlear implant progress

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2020
Electrical cochlear implants (CI) currently lack the frequency and intensity resolution to allow detection of complex sounds in background noise. The use of microscale optoelectronics in conjunction with optogenetics provides a promising direction in CI ...

On the supposed moral harm of selecting for deafness.

open access: yes, 2011
This paper demonstrates that accounting for the moral harm of selecting for deafness is not as simple or obvious as the widespread negative response from the hearing community would suggest.

RNA Sequencing Resolves Cryptic Pathogenic Variants in Mitochondrial Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial diseases are the most common inherited metabolic disorders, characterized by pronounced clinical and genetic heterogeneity that complicates molecular diagnosis. Although DNA‐based sequencing approaches have become standard in genetic testing, up to half of patients remain without a definitive diagnosis.

Altered ABR Waveform Patterns in Tinnitus Patients With Normal Full-Frequency Hearing May Be Induced by Abnormal Middle Ear Muscle Activity Via the Trigeminal Nerve System

open access: yesJournal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
Importance Evidence regarding the mechanism of tinnitus in patients with normal full-frequency hearing remains limited. This study investigated the auditory brainstem response (ABR) waveform patterns in these patients to address this unmet need, which is

Sertraline Treatment Can Mimic Niemann‐Pick Type C Biomarker Profile: A Diagnostic Pitfall

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oxysterols (cholestane‐3β,5α,6β‐triol and 7‐ketocholesterol) and N‐palmitoyl‐O‐phosphocholineserine (PPCS) are sensitive biomarkers for Niemann‐Pick disease type C (NPC) screening. However, false‐positive results occur, with a biomarker profile suggestive of NPC despite the absence of pathogenic variants in genes involved in NPC or ...

Pure word deafness associated with extrapontine myelinolysis

open access: yes, 2010
Extrapontine myelinolysis and pure word deafness are very uncommon disorders. Here, we report a case of a 19-year-old woman who suffered from osmotic demyelination syndrome with coincidence of typical pure word deafness.

Multifunctional redox modulator prevents blast-induced loss of cochlear and vestibular hair cells and auditory spiral ganglion neurons

open access: yesScientific Reports
Blast wave exposure, a leading cause of hearing loss and balance dysfunction among military personnel, arises primarily from direct mechanical damage to the mechanosensory hair cells and supporting structures or indirectly through excessive oxidative ...

Determining if T cell antigens are naturally processed and presented on HLA class I molecules

open access: yesBMC Immunology, 2022
Background Determining T cell responses to naturally processed and presented antigens is a critical immune correlate to determine efficacy of an investigational immunotherapeutic in clinical trials.

The impacts of deaf culture on designing with deaf children [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 29th Australian Conference on Computer-Human Interaction, 2017
This paper will discuss the impacts Deaf culture and the traits of individual Deafness have on the conduct of co-design with Deaf children. A series of design sessions were undertaken with a design team composed of young Deaf children, the first author as an adult designer, members of an Early Childhood Development Program's staff, and the parents of ...

Digital Cognitive Testing in Mitochondrial Disease: Validity and Challenges for Clinical Trial Use

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Primary mitochondrial disease is a group of genetic disorders caused by pathogenic variants in nuclear or mitochondrial DNA, often resulting in progressive neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Current management is primarily supportive, though recent research offers hope for disease‐modifying treatments in the future.
