Estimation of Minimal Clinically Important Difference for Tinnitus Handicap Inventory and Tinnitus Functional Index

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 173, Issue 1, Page 69-79, July 2025.
Abstract Objective The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) represents the smallest change in treatment outcome deemed clinically meaningful. This study estimates the MCID for 2 widely used tinnitus measures: the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and the Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI), using anchor‐based approaches while accounting for ...

Minimally Invasive Intraoperative Laser Vibrometry (MIVIB)—A Peroperative Method to Measure Fixation of the Ossicular Chain

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 10, Issue 3, June 2025.
An objective assessment of the ossicular chain with laser vibrometry would likely improve the result of ossiculoplasty. MIVIB provides an objective assessment of the ossicular chain to identify specific fixations and therefore assist the surgeon in improving surgical outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Conductive hearing loss requires the surgeon to evaluate

A Multi‐Center Study of Ossiculoplasty Hearing Outcomes and a Grading Scale of Ear Environment Risk

The Laryngoscope, Volume 135, Issue S2, Page S1-S11, April 2025.
This is a clinical article that analyzed data from a large multi‐institution database of ossiculoplasty outcomes to determine which ear environment risk factors independently are associated with postoperative hearing outcomes. The identified risk factors were utilized to create a novel ear environment risk‐weighted grading scale with risk groupings the
