A directly comparative two-gate case–control diagnostic accuracy study of the pure tone screen and HearCheck screener tests for identifying hearing impairment in school children [PDF]

, 2017
Objectives: This study directly compared the accuracy of two audiometry-based tests for screening school children for hearing impairment: the currently used test, pure tone screen and a device newly applied to children, HearCheck Screener. Design: Two-

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.

Small Extracellular Vesicles Orchestrate Cisplatin‐Induced Ototoxicity: Potential Biomarker and Targets Discovery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cisplatin causes reactive oxygen species accumulation, leading to apoptosis and inflammation in cochlear hair cells. Small extracellular vesicles primarily derived from the damaged hair cells likely contribute to cisplatin‐induced ototoxicity, carrying a variety of microRNAs and proteins.

The audiogram: Detection of pure-tone stimuli in ototoxicity monitoring and assessments of investigational medicines for the inner ear.

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2022
Pure-tone thresholds have long served as a gold standard for evaluating hearing sensitivity and documenting hearing changes related to medical treatments, toxic or otherwise hazardous exposures, ear disease, genetic disorders involving the ear, and ...

Prevalence, severity and factors of hearing loss in hemodialysis patients: A cross‐sectional study in Northern Tanzania

Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hearing loss, affecting 20% of the global population, disproportionately impacts low‐ and middle‐income countries, including Africa. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is prevalent among hemodialysis patients. In Tanzania, the growing number of hemodialysis patients highlights the need for hearing assessments.

Effect of HIV and Antiretroviral Treatment on Auditory Functions

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2018
Introduction Numerous studies have evaluated auditory functions in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients; however, these studies had a few major limitations in terms of methodology as they used mainly evoked audiometry although this method is ...

Long‐Term Cochlear Implant Sensitivity in Patients With Far Advanced Otosclerosis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study aimed to evaluate mid‐ and long‐term cochlear implant fitting in otosclerosis patients compared to a control group. It suggested significant tissue remodeling at the cochlear apex in otosclerosis patients, likely increasing resistance to electrical currents delivered by the implant.

Robotic‐Assisted Electrode Array Insertion Improves Rates of Hearing Preservation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The purpose of our study is to understand the extent to which robotic‐assisted electrode array (EA) insertion improves hearing preservation. Our results show that robotic‐assisted EA insertion is associated with improved hearing preservation over 1 year compared with manual insertion.
