Optical Coherence Tomography as an Emerging Technique for Identifying Pediatric Middle Ear Effusion

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This prospective study evaluated optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a diagnostic tool for identifying middle ear effusion (MEE) in 164 pediatric patients. OCT was determined to have a sensitivity of 74% and a specificity of 93%, comparable to otoscopy and tympanometry, with moderate agreement (κ = 0.41) between clinical and non‐clinical raters.

Mastoid Surgery Does Not Normalize Tympanometric Middle Ear Pressure in Children With Cholesteatoma

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Conflicting mechanism‐based hypotheses have been used to promote selection of different approaches to management of the mastoid in order to optimize middle ear pressure homeostasis after removal of cholesteatoma. For example: (a) conservation of mastoid mucosa and opening of ventilation pathways endoscopically to normalize function, (b) removal of ...

Audiological function in a group of adults following myringoplasty: an exploratory study in South Africa

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2019
INTRODUCTION: Chronic suppurative otitis media is a global middle ear disease with quality of life as economic implications, which are worse felt in low and middle income (LAMI) countries; thus the need for myringoplasty.

Electrocochleographic Changes Predict an Early Sign of Cochlear Degeneration

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The purpose of this study is to identify the earliest appearing auditory electrophysiological indicators that change with age progression in young adults with normal hearing, and to analyze the frequency distribution patterns of these markers in the cochlear.

Cognitive decline and auditory biomarkers: P300 as a diagnostic tool [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background Over 54% of dementia cases in South America are linked to modifiable factors, emphasizing the need for interventions to prevent or slow its progression. Auditory evoked potentials, electrical signals generated by the auditory system in response to sound stimuli, may serve as valuable diagnostic tools.

Clinical Diagnostics After Failed Hearing Screening in People With Intellectual Disabilities Do Not Often Take Place

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Individuals with intellectual disabilities are at higher risk of undiagnosed or inadequately treated hearing loss. This situation requires easily accessible hearing screening, diagnostics and intervention programmes in the living environment, i.e., in nurseries, schools, workplaces and homes.

Development of an In Vivo Model for Eustachian Tube Dysfunction

Bioengineering, 2022
Otitis media is often connected to Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD). Until now, there was no large animal model available for the examination of new treatment methods such as stents for the Eustachian tube (ET). Thus, the aim of the study was to develop

Transoral Approach for Balloon Dilation of the Eustachian Tube

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 10, Issue 6, December 2025.
In patients with challenging nasal or Eustachian tube anatomy, the transnasal approach for balloon dilation of the Eustachian tube (BDET) may be unsuccessful. We describe a transoral technique for BDET that bypasses obstructive nasal anatomy and offers greater flexibility in catheter angulation. This approach may serve as a useful alternative in select
