A comprehensive survey of hearing questionnaires: how many are there, what do they measure, and how have they been validated? [PDF]

, 2015
The self-report questionnaire is a popular tool for measuring outcomes in trials of interventions for hearing impairment. Many have been designed over the last fifty years, and there is no single standard questionnaire that is widely accepted and used ...

Congenital hearing loss [PDF]

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2017
Congenital hearing loss (hearing loss that is present at birth) is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions in children. In the majority of developed countries, neonatal hearing screening programmes enable early detection; early intervention will prevent delays in speech and language development and has long-lasting beneficial effects on social and

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Stimuli‐Responsive Materials for Biomedical Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stimulus‐responsive materials (SRMs) hold great promise for use in a wide range of biomedical applications. This review covers four stimulus modalities, namely, electrical, optical, magnetic, and ultrasound, and their associated SRMs. It provides a summary of the materials in each modality, their development, and current research perspectives.

Ear- and hearing-related impact on quality of life in children with cleft palate : development and pretest of a health-related quality of life (HRQOL) instrument

, 2019
Objectives: To investigate to what extent middle ear problems and associated hearing loss affect quality of life (QoL) of children born with a cleft palate. Methods: Fifty-five children aged between 6 and 18 years, born with non-syndromic cleft palate +/

Drug-induced stress granule formation protects sensory hair cells in mouse cochlear explants during ototoxicity [PDF]

, 2019
Stress granules regulate RNA translation during cellular stress, a mechanism that is generally presumed to be protective, since stress granule dysregulation caused by mutation or ageing is associated with neurodegenerative disease.

NOX2 Contributes to High‐Frequency Outer Hair Cell Vulnerability in the Cochlea

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study first identifies NOX2 as a differentially expressed gene related to oxidative damage in the apical and basal turns through single‐cell RNA sequencing. NOX2 gene knockout mitigates OHCs damage caused by neomycin and noise and enhances Nrf2 expression and nuclear translocation.

Can unilateral, progressive or sudden hearing loss be immune-mediated in origin? [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to demonstrate that the positivity of nonspecific immunological tests could be found not only in bilateral hearing loss but also in unilateral cases, either sudden or progressive. METHOD: An observational case

Etiology of Hearing Loss and Genetic Hearing Loss

Hanyang Medical Reviews, 2015
Hearing loss is one of the most common sensory disorders and has numerous environmental and genetic factors that influence its onset and development. Hearing loss can be classified by either the affected anatomic or functional lesion of hearing loss, or as conductive or sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).
