Cochlear Implantation and Facial Nerve Stimulation: Clinical and Anatomic Correlations

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
One rare complication of cochlear implantation (CI) is facial nerve stimulation (FNS) and in this study the location and insertion depths for electrode contacts causing FNS was analyzed, and the anatomical variance of the human facial nerve canal (FNC) was explored to elucidate the mechanisms underlying FNS.

NAD+ Enhanced on Hearing Recovery in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This 2‐year, single‐center, double‐blind study with a small sample size compared NAD+ and control groups in a randomized controlled trial for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Results showed that NAD+ led to better hearing improvement from 7 days to 3 months and a shorter average recovery time compared to the control group.

Effects of Marital Status on Cochlear Implant Outcomes

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Marital status was evaluated as a predictor of post‐CI speech recognition and hearing‐related QoL in 604 adults undergoing cochlear implantation. Unmarried individuals had significantly poorer speech recognition outcomes, while QoL scores did not differ; benefits of marriage were most evident among women, employed individuals, and rural residents, and ...

Malleostapedotomy in Patients With Stapes Fixation: A Systematic Review

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This systematic review analyses the current evidence on malleostapedotomy as a primary or revision procedure in patients with stapes fixation. Twenty‐five studies comprising 632 operated ears were included. Malleostapedotomy proved to be a safe and effective alternative to incus‐anchoring stapedoplasty, with favorable hearing outcomes and a low ...

Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or Intratympanic Steroids in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?

open access: yesThe 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 ...
