Middle ear anatomy and implant sizes: correlates and the need for uniform implant dimensions

open access: yesFrontiers in Audiology and Otology
IntroductionConductive hearing loss describes an insufficient sound transfer of the middle ear, often caused by defects or absence of the ossicles. Depending on the specific middle ear dimensions and the kind of defect, surgeons can choose from a variety

Mastoid Surgery Does Not Normalize Tympanometric Middle Ear Pressure in Children With Cholesteatoma

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 6, Page 2719-2726, June 2026.
Conflicting mechanism‐based hypotheses have been used to promote selection of different approaches to management of the mastoid in order to optimize middle ear pressure homeostasis after removal of cholesteatoma. For example: (a) conservation of mastoid mucosa and opening of ventilation pathways endoscopically to normalize function, (b) removal of ...

Fast Small‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering Tensor Tomography: An Outlook into Future Applications in Life Sciences

open access: yesSmall Methods, Volume 10, Issue 1, 10 January 2026.
This study reveals the future potential of SAXS tensor tomography at macromolecular X‐ray crystallography beamlines and life sciences applications. A new standard in fast data acquisition is set, allowing for up‐to 10x higher throughput. The measurements show mineralised collagen fibrils within the incus bone of the human auditory ossicle.

Percutaneous Bone Implant Surgery: A MIPS Modified Technique

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 135, Issue 9, Page 3378-3381, September 2025.
Since their introduction, passive percutaneous hearing aids have undergone substantial evolution, including changes in implant production, improvements in the sound processor, and simplification of surgical implantation techniques. The latest innovation comes from the minimally invasive technique proposed for the PONTO system (MIPS), which does not ...

Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Audiometric Parameters for Assistive Hearing Technology for Adults and Children With Tympanic Membrane Perforation

open access: yesClinical Otolaryngology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 589-599, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Tympanic membrane perforation can cause hearing impairment with detrimental effects on communication and quality of life, and is a problem affecting an estimated 250 million people. To date, there is little analysis to inform public policy on options for assistive hearing technology rehabilitation in this group.
