Parent experiences with genetic testing for pediatric hearing loss
Abstract The purpose of the current study was to assess parent perceptions and experiences of genetic testing, as well as barriers for not undergoing testing in a sample of families of children with hearing loss. A 44‐item questionnaire, The Parent Perception of Genetic Testing Questionnaire developed by the research study team was administered ...

Abstract Objectives The Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) has been extensively used to report the benefit from otolaryngological surgery. Benefit from non‐surgical management has not been reported, despite this being the outcome of most otolaryngology and audiology consultations.

Acquired sensorineural hearing loss, oxidative stress, and microRNAs
Hearing loss is the third leading cause of human disability. Age-related hearing loss, one type of acquired sensorineural hearing loss, is largely responsible for this escalating global health burden.

Monocular Microscope to CT Registration using Pose Estimation of the Incus for Augmented Reality Cochlear Implant Surgery [PDF]
For those experiencing severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss, the cochlear implant (CI) is the preferred treatment. Augmented reality (AR) aided surgery can potentially improve CI procedures and hearing outcomes. Typically, AR solutions for image-guided surgery rely on optical tracking systems to register pre-operative planning information to ...

Prevalence of Molecular Diagnoses for Usher Syndrome and the Need for Coordinated Care
Usher syndrome (USH) is a rare, autosomal‐recessive genetic disorder and a leading cause of early onset deaf‐blindness. Molecular testing is able to distinguish USH subtypes by causative gene. Molecular testing and diagnosis should be part of the routine care of USH individuals to facilitate earlier interventions and coordinated care between ...

A computational loudness model for electrical stimulation with cochlear implants [PDF]
Cochlear implants (CIs) are devices that restore the sense of hearing in people with severe sensorineural hearing loss. An electrode array inserted in the cochlea bypasses the natural transducer mechanism that transforms mechanical sound waves into neural activity by artificially stimulating the auditory nerve fibers with electrical pulses.

Temporal Trends in and Patient Characteristics Associated with Surgery for Otitis Media
In this study, the tympanostomy tube insertion (TTI) rate was 5.3%, which increased to approximately 20% in children with history of otitis media. Though multiple characteristics increase the risk of TTI, sensorineural hearing loss for TTI alone, and age 4–8 years at time of presentation in the TTI‐A subset carried the highest risk.
