Outcomes of Inverted Tympanomeatal Flap Elevation for Large Anterior Tympanic Membrane Perforations in Narrow External Auditory Canals

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Anterior tympanic membrane perforations—particularly in patients with a narrow external auditory canal—remain technically challenging due to limited visualization and inadequate anterior support. The inverted tympanomeatal flap technique has been proposed to address these issues, but evidence is limited.

A Call for Screening: Hearing Loss and Chronic Otitis Media in Immigrants to Sweden

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 2, April 2026.
The prevalence of chronic otitis media was 2.3% and hearing impairment was found in 15.2% in this cohort of adult immigrants to Sweden attending Swedish language classes. As learning a new language is crucial to integration into society, we advocate for the inclusion of screening audiometry in the general health check‐up for immigrants.

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

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

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 384-394, April 2026.
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.
