Cochlear Implantation in Autoimmune Inner‐Ear Disease: Outcome and Patient‐Reported Benefit
This study demonstrates that patients with secondary autoimmune inner‐ear disease (AIED) achieve significant improvements in speech perception and quality of life following cochlear implantation. Although AIED patients may show slightly lower performance in noisy environments compared to controls, their subjective hearing benefit converges with matched

Quantifying Soft‐Surgery in Cochlear Implantation: Multimodal Data From 30 International Specialists
Objective data from 30 specialist cochlear implant surgeons showed that surgical handling strongly influences intracochlear mechanical stress during implantation. Surgeons with fewer than 50 lifetime insertions performed significantly worse than more experienced colleagues, while self‐assessment did not reflect objective performance in any group ...

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.

Sudden hearing loss after an explosion [PDF]
An 18-year-old man presented with a sudden onset of bilateral hearing loss after a home-made firework exploded near the right side of his scalp. The hearing loss was associated with tinnitus. Examination revealed an area of skin loss on the right pinna.

Disparities in Hearing Screening Practices in Minnesota Elementary Schools
ABSTRACT Objective Identifying and addressing pediatric hearing loss is critical to supporting a child's development. School‐based hearing screening is a mainstay of timely identification of hearing loss. The objectives of this study were to characterize the current hearing screening practices in public, charter, and private elementary schools in ...

Multi‐Frequency Electrocochleography Results in Fewer Drop Alarms During Cochlear Implant Insertion
A novel multi‐frequency electrocochleography (ECochG) algorithm used during cochlear implant electrode insertion is associated with fewer drop alarms and an increase in optimal insertion track patterns. Multi‐frequency ECochG may provide a more accurate assessment of the cochlear microenvironment when compared to single‐frequency ECochG.

Partitioned Internal Auditory Canal: Association With Cochlear Aperture Anomalies
Partitioned internal auditory canal (IAC), defined by a bony septum separating the facial nerve from the cochleovestibular nerve, occurs significantly more often in ears with stenotic or atretic cochlear aperture. ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the association between partitioned internal auditory canal (IAC) and other inner ear abnormalities ...

Synchrotron‐Based Deep Learning Network of the Inner Ear: Development and Expert Validation
A deep learning network to automatically segment the inner ear from preoperative clinical scans was developed using synchrotron‐radiation phase contrast imaging (SR‐PCI). On an unseen test set, the network significantly outperformed seven expert otologists/radiologists, the mean expert segmentation, and a simultaneous truth and performance level ...

Advances in GPCRs Associated With Wnt Signaling Within the Auditory System
ABSTRACT G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) that interact with the Wnt signaling pathway are pivotal for auditory system homeostasis, as they orchestrate inner ear development, hair cell (HC) regeneration, and hearing preservation. Frizzled (FZD) receptors, the core Wnt‐related GPCRs, bind Wnt ligands and co‐receptors (e.g., LRP5/6) to activate both ...
