Reassessing the Rinne Test: Importance of a Three-Frequency Tuning Fork Evaluation. [PDF]
Abstract Objective (1) To evaluate the accuracy of the Rinne test in the diagnosis of conductive hearing loss (CHL) at the frequencies of 512, 1024 and 2048 Hz comparing to standard audiometry. (2) To define a possible linear relationship between the frequencies of the tuning forks and the proportional increase in the air‐bone gap (ABG).

Improved Bone Conduction and Hearing Outcomes After Stapes Surgery for Otosclerosis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the improvement in bone conduction (BC) thresholds after stapes surgery for otosclerosis, compare the outcomes of surgical techniques, and analyze the short‐ and long‐term results to inform treatment strategies. Methods We retrospectively reviewed data from 173 patients (188 ears) who underwent total stapedectomy, partial

A Call for Screening: Hearing Loss and Chronic Otitis Media in Immigrants to Sweden. [PDF]
The prevalence of chronic otitis media was 2.3% and hearing impairment was found in 15.2% in this cohort of adult immigrants to Sweden attending Swedish language classes. As learning a new language is crucial to integration into society, we advocate for the inclusion of screening audiometry in the general health check‐up for immigrants.

Hearing Improvement in the Patients Operated on Otosclerosis by Right-Handed Surgeons
Background: Otosclerosis is a disease of the osseous labyrinth. The disease causes 5% to 9% of all cases of hearing loss and 18% to 22% of conductive hearing loss. The treatment of choice is a surgery.

Otosclerosis 1: the aetiopathogenesis of otosclerosis
Otosclerosis is a bone dystrophy localised to the inner ear and the stapes footplate. Otosclerosis is a frequent cause of deafness in adults. The patient with otosclerosis typically presents with a history of slowly progressive conductive or mixed hearing loss that is usually bilateral and often asymmetric, usually between the ages of 15 and 45 years ...
