Labyrinthine Abnormalities on MRI in Untreated Otosclerosis: Prevalence and Clinical Relevance
In untreated otosclerosis with labyrinthine symptoms, delayed 3D FLAIR MRI rarely demonstrates endolymphatic hydrops but frequently reveals blood–labyrinth barrier (BLB) disruption. BLB enhancement is spatially associated with cochlear endosteal and round window involvement and increases with the severity of the hearing loss phenotype.

The Laryngeal Auditory Startle Reflex (LASR): A New Component of the Auditory Startle Response
The auditory startle reflex contains a distinct laryngeal component, termed the laryngeal auditory startle reflex (LASR). In healthy adults, the LASR is modulated by supratentorial influences and habituates to repetitive stimuli. Physiologic and pathologic implications for the LASR as a component of the overall human SR remain to be determined but may ...

Quantifying Dehydration Effects of Porcine Vocal Fold Attenuation With Optical Coherence Tomography
The purpose of this study is to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to characterize the effect of dehydration on the optical attenuation coefficient of porcine vocal fold (VF) tissue. The optical attenuation coefficient tissue decreased linearly with dehydration, dropping by approximately 0.08 mm−1 for every 1% increase in mass loss.

Otologic Surgery Risk Prediction: Risk Analysis Index‐Administrative Versus Modified Frailty Index‐5
In a national cohort of 2862 patients undergoing otologic surgery, the risk analysis index‐administrative (RAI‐A) outperformed the modified frailty index‐5 (mFI‐5) in predicting key 30‐day postoperative outcomes, including mortality, complications, surgical site infection, extended length of stay, and nonhome discharge.

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

Otogenic route of meningitis was associated with greater cochlear hair cell loss in comparison with the meningogenic one in this otopathology study. Neuronal depletion has been traditionally implicated in failed hearing rehabilitation of post‐meningitis deafness.

Impact of Co‐Morbid Immunocompromise in HPV‐Associated Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Among patients with surgically resected Human Papillomavirus positive (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), immunocompromised patients had significantly worse overall survival compared to the non‐compromised group; however, these exploratory findings should be interpreted cautiously.

Ménière's Disease: A Tri‐Decade Scoping Review of Treatment Trends and Evidence Quality
This tri‐decade scoping review of Ménière's disease literature reveals a significant increase in high‐level evidence and a clinical pivot toward hearing‐preserving interventions, such as intratympanic steroids and cochlear implants. However, a significant quality paradox has emerged, where adherence to standardized AAO‐HNS reporting and diagnostic ...

Partitioned Internal Auditory Canal: Association With Cochlear Aperture Anomalies
Partitioned internal auditory canal (IAC), defined by a bony septum separating the facial nerve from the cochleovestibular nerve, occurs significantly more often in ears with stenotic or atretic cochlear aperture. ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the association between partitioned internal auditory canal (IAC) and other inner ear abnormalities ...
