The Relationship Between Blood Lipids, Coagulation Indexes, Blood Homocysteine and Sudden Deafness: A Retrospective Study and Mendelian Randomization Analysis

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Certain blood components, including blood lipids, coagulation parameters, and homocysteine, have been suggested to correlate with the incidence and prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). However, the nature of these associations remains controversial.

An Experimental Study on the Protective Effect of Memantine in Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examined the potential protective effects of memantine, an N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, against acoustic trauma (AT) in guinea pigs, using electrophysiological and histopathological analyses. Methods Thirty guinea pigs with normal hearing were divided into six groups (n = 5 per group): Group 1 (control),

Anatomical Characteristics of the Facial Nerve in Patients With Cochlear Hypoplasia

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To quantitatively characterize the spatial relationships between intratemporal facial nerve segments and key cochlear implantation (CI) landmarks in cochlear hypoplasia (CH), and to compare these features with age‐matched CI recipients with normal inner ear anatomy, thereby informing preoperative planning and facial nerve ...

Association Characteristics and Potential Mechanisms of Aging, Gut Microbiota, and Hearing Loss

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The study found that aging leads to unchanged gut microbiota alpha diversity but an increase in Bacteroidetes and a decrease in Firmicutes at the phylum level, with specific genera, species, and functional pathways co‐associated with aging and hearing loss. Through constructing a microbe‐metabolite network, it revealed the mechanism by which protective

Objective Measures of Speech Intelligibility in Sensorineural Hearing Loss

open access: yes, 2014
A novel approach based on the use of acoustic simulations of impaired perception and objective measures of perceptual speech quality (PESQ) is proposed and validated to predict speech intelligibility in sensorineural hearing loss.

Postnatally Acquired Cytomegalovirus Infection in Extremely Premature Infants: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Postnatally acquired cytomegalovirus (pCMV) infection may cause severe disease in extremely preterm infants, but its clinical significance remains uncertain. We investigated the incidence, timing, disease burden, and diagnostic performance of saliva screening. Method In this prospective cohort study, infants born at < 28 weeks of gestation
