Congenital CMV and Hearing Loss—How Does it Happen and How to Prevent it
ABSTRACT Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is found worldwide and significantly contributes to permanent childhood hearing loss. CMV has been known to cause sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) for more than half a century, and CMV‐related hearing loss has consistently been present in all childhood populations where infants with cCMV have been identified ...

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) occurs in 1.5 billion globally, primary driven by damage of cochlear hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. This review systematically examines current therapeutic strategies for sensorineural hearing loss, including traditional drug and physical therapies as well as emerging stem cell and gene therapies, providing a ...

Preoperative Imaging for Cochlear Implantation: A Global Consensus
Abstract Objective Preoperative imaging is vital for cochlear implant surgeries, aiding diagnosis, and surgical planning. This study evaluated global practices and the value of preoperative imaging through an international survey. Methods A cross‐sectional survey was conducted among international cochlear implantation experts using a 112‐item ...

Background: A sensitive test for Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence (SCD) is the air-conducted, ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential (AC oVEMP). However, not all patients with large AC oVEMPs have SCD.

When Is the Vestibular Aqueduct Enlarged? A Statistical Analysis of the Normative Distribution of Vestibular Aqueduct Size [PDF]
The size of vestibular aqueducts (VAs) seen on CT studies varies. The current practice of calling a VA enlarged when it exceeds a certain threshold (eg, 1.5 mm at the midpoint) is arbitrary. Our hypothesis was that statistical analysis of the range of VA widths in a normal-hearing population would lead to a mathematic definition of the upper-limit-of ...
