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

Journal 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

Shedding light on optical cochlear implant progress

EMBO 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 ...

RNA Sequencing Resolves Cryptic Pathogenic Variants in Mitochondrial Disease

Annals 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.

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

Scientific 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 ...

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

Proceedings 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 ...

KCNQ4, a novel potassium channel expressed in sensory outer hair cells, is mutated in dominant deafness.

Cell, 1999
Potassium channels regulate electrical signaling and the ionic composition of biological fluids. Mutations in the three known genes of the KCNQ branch of the K+ channel gene family underlie inherited cardiac arrhythmias (in some cases associated with ...

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

Annals 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 ...

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

Annals 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.
