Comparison between auditory steady-state responses and pure-tone audiometry [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2010 Background/Aim. A more recent method, the auditory steadystate response (ASSR), has become more and more important test method due to difference that was found in previous investigations between hearing thresholds determined by the ASSR and the pure-tone

Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or Intratympanic Steroids in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is traditionally treated with steroids, either orally and/or via intratympanic injections, and hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) has resurged in popularity as an adjunctive therapy. The study has not found any additional treatment benefit with adjunctive concurrent HBOT; however, HBOT might be of value to patients ...

Robotic‐Assisted Electrode Array Insertion Improves Stability of Acoustic Hearing Thresholds
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study evaluated the impact of robotic‐assisted electrode array insertion on rates of delayed‐onset hearing loss (DOHL). DOHL occurred in 22 of 60 subjects (37%) in the manual cohort compared with 2 of 29 subjects (7%) in the robotic‐assisted cohort, representing a statistically significant reduction (p = 0.002).

Labyrinthine Abnormalities on MRI in Untreated Otosclerosis: Prevalence and Clinical Relevance
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.In untreated otosclerosis with labyrinthine symptoms, delayed 3D FLAIR MRI rarely demonstrates endolymphatic hydrops but frequently reveals blood–labyrinth barrier (BLB) disruption. BLB enhancement is spatially associated with cochlear endosteal and round window involvement and increases with the severity of the hearing loss phenotype.
