The Diverse Genetic Landscape of Hearing Impairment in South African Families

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
South African Families with Nonsyndromic (N = 24) and Syndromic Hearing Impairment (N = 21) with ≥ 2 affected members were analyzed. The underlying etiology was uncovered using exome and Sanger sequencing for 31 of these families. ABSTRACT To elucidate the genetic etiology of hearing impairment (HI) in South Africa, 45 nonsyndromic HI (NSHI) and ...

Prediction of hearing thresholds: Comparison of cortical evoked response audiometry and auditory steady state response audiometry techniques [PDF]

, 2007
The present study evaluated how well auditory steady state response (ASSR) and tone burst cortical evoked response audiometry (CERA) thresholds predict behavioral thresholds in the same participants. A total of 63 ears were evaluated.

Novel Pathogenic Variant Confirms the Association of REST and Jones Syndrome

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Jones syndrome (JS) is an ultra‐rare condition characterized by gingival fibromatosis and progressive sensorineural hearing loss. It has been associated with a pathogenic REST exon‐5 variant (c.2670_2673del) in a Finnish family. We describe the first Italian family with JS in which a novel pathogenic REST exon‐5 variant (c.2645T>G) was identified ...

Auditory Steady State Responses in children and adolescents with severe to profound and steeply sloping sensorineural hearing loss [PDF]

, 2014
PurposeTo verify the correlation between the electrophysiological thresholds in Auditory Evoked Potential Steady State (ASSR) and behavioral thresholds obtained with pure tone audiometry in children and adolescents with severe to profound sensorineural ...

The Usefulness of ETDQ‐7 Score in Assessing ETD

Clinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The ETDQ‐7 questionnaire has been validated for diagnosing Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) and a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of > 3.5 has been suggested. We aim to assess the use of ETDQ‐7 for assessing ETD and a potential correlation between ETDQ‐7 and the Sino‐Nasal Outcome Test 22 (SNOT‐22). Methods ETD was

Auditory and cognitive performance in elderly musicians and nonmusicians [PDF]

, 2017
Musicians represent a model for examining brain and behavioral plasticity in terms of cognitive and auditory profile, but few studies have investigated whether elderly musicians have better auditory and cognitive abilities than nonmusicians.

Severe‐to‐Profound Hearing Loss and Mental Health: Initial Evidence That Cochlear Implantation Helps Alleviate Symptoms of Anxiety and Stress

Clinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Mental‐health issues accounted for 418 million disability‐adjusted life years in 2019, costing the world economy approximately $5 trillion. Untreated hearing loss is a well‐known modifiable risk factor for mental‐health issues, with severe‐to‐profound hearing loss having the largest impact. Therefore, treatment of severe‐to‐profound
