Anatomical middle and inner ear parameters are often used to predict hearing sensitivities of mammalian species. Given that ear morphology is substantially affected both by phylogeny and body size, it is interesting to consider whether the relatively ...

On the development of the chondrocranium and the histological anatomy of the head in perinatal stages of marsupial mammals [PDF]
An overview of the literature on the chondrocranium of marsupial mammals reveals a relative conservatism in shape and structures. We document the histological cranial anatomy of individuals representing Monodelphis domestica, Dromiciops gliroides ...

Human summating potential using continuous loop averaging deconvolution: Response amplitudes vary with tone burst repetition rate and duration [PDF]
Electrocochleography (ECochG) to high repetition rate tone bursts may have advantages over ECochG to clicks with standard slow rates. Tone burst stimuli presented at a high repetition rate may enhance summating potential (SP) measurements by reducing ...

An isolated bony middle ear anomaly of the chordal eminence: A case report
A 12-year-old boy, with no significant medical history, presented with an asymptomatic lesion within his right middle ear on routine otoscopy. Examination demonstrated a white mass medial to the tympanic membrane, where the tympanic membrane is lifted ...

Hyperostotic tympanic bone spicules in domestic and wild animal species [PDF]
Hyperostotic tympanic bone spicules (HTBS), or "mucoperiosteal exostoses" (ME, syn.) are small, globular (>= 1 mm in diameter), mostly stalked and drumstick-like, bony structures, which arise from the inner wall of the tympanic bulla and project into the

Ear, nose and throat injuries at Bugando Medical Centre in northwestern Tanzania: a five-year prospective review of 456 cases. [PDF]
Injuries to the ear, nose and throat (ENT) regions are not uncommon in clinical practice and constitute a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in our setting. There is dearth of literature on this subject in our environment.

Why does a natural myringostapediopexy cause minimal hearing loss?
Natural myringostapediopexy is a result of tympanic membrane retraction with automastoidectomy that causes the tympanic membrane to plaster onto the stapes directly. It causes minimal conductive hearing impairment.
