Tactile responses in pure-tone audiometry: a saccule function? [PDF]

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2013
As generally accepted, low-frequency bone-conduction thresholds obtained in the 35–55 dB range are often tactile responses and not due to auditory stimulation [4]. Since it is recently known that low-frequency airand bone-conducted stimuli can be used to test otolithic function also in humans [2], we wondered if such ‘‘false-positive’’ boneconduction ...

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.

Safe Sound: Highlighting Electronic Dance Music Attendees' Unique Hearing Protection Practices

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Electronic dance music attendees (EDMAs) stand out as a group more likely to use hearing protection (HP) compared to non‐EDM attendees (non‐EDMAs), making them an interesting focus for understanding the adoption of healthier auditory habits. This study delved into the factors driving HP use among EDMAs, uncovering key influences such as personal ...

Contemporary Clinical Management of Otosyphilis for Practicing Otolaryngologists—A Scoping Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Otosyphilis has reemerged alongside increasing syphilis rates, highlighting the need for early recognition to prevent severe audiovestibular complications. A scoping review and retrospective case series indicate that most patients present with hearing loss, tinnitus, or vertigo and typically respond to penicillin‐based treatment.
