Cost‐Utility Analysis of Intracapsular and Extracapsular Techniques for Pediatric Tonsillectomy

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Intracapsular coblation tonsillectomy (ICT) is more cost‐effective than extracapsular tonsillectomy (ECT) in pediatric patients, particularly for ambulatory procedures. In a prospective cohort of over 5000 cases, ICT was associated with lower costs and comparable or better quality‐adjusted life years, even when accounting for potential revision ...

Is There a Role for Sodium Fluoride in Otosclerosis Treatment?

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Various reports have investigated the role of NaF for stabilizing SNHL in the setting of otosclerosis; however, there currently remains no established practice guideline or widespread consensus. The purpose of this paper is to interpret the literature to determine best practices for the use of NaF in otosclerosis management.

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.

Sensorineural hearing loss in children

open access: yesThe Lancet, 2005
During the past three to four decades, the incidence of acquired sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in children living in more developed countries has fallen, as a result of improved neonatal care and the widespread implementation of immunisation programmes.

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 ...

X-Linked Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Literature Review

open access: yesCurrent Genomics, 2017
Sensorineural hearing loss is a very diffuse pathology (about 1/1000 born) with several types of transmission. X-linked hearing loss accounts for approximately 1% - 2% of cases of non-syndromic forms, as well as for many syndromic forms.

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 ...
