Cochlear Implantation in Autoimmune Inner‐Ear Disease: Outcome and Patient‐Reported Benefit

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
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

A factor analysis of the SSQ (Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing Scale) [PDF]

International Journal of Audiology, 2013
The speech, spatial, and qualities of hearing questionnaire (SSQ) is a self-report test of auditory disability. The 49 items ask how well a listener would do in many complex listening situations illustrative of real life. The scores on the items are often combined into the three main sections or into 10 pragmatic subscales.

Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment for Female Vaginal Relaxation Syndrome: A Prospective Study

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Vaginal relaxation syndrome (VRS) is a common condition that adversely affects women's quality of life. Conventional non‐surgical therapies provide limited benefit for patients with mild to moderate disease. Fractional CO2 laser (FxCO2) therapy has emerged as a minimally invasive treatment option; however, its long‐term efficacy and

Bilayer Resists for 193 nm Lithography: SSQ and POSS

Journal of Photopolymer Science and Technology, 2006
Positive 193 nm bilayer resists based on polysilsesquioxanes (SSQ) and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) are described. Fluoroalcohol is employed as an acid group. Our POSS materials are prepared by condensation of functional trialkoxysilane rather than by the commonly employed hydrosilylation on POSS and consist of T3 while the ...
