OBJECTIVE
To review the results of obliteration of a preexisting mastoid cavity with abdominal fat and Vibrant Soundbridge implantation in patients with mixed hearing loss (MHL) and to compare the data with results of Vibrant Soundbridge implantation in patients with MHL without mastoid cavity and
BACKGROUND
Congenital forms of hearing impairment can be caused by mutations in the estrogen related receptor beta (ESRRB) gene. Our initial linkage studies suggested the ESRRB locus is linked to high caries experience in humans.
METHODS
We tested for association between the ESRRB locus and dental
Pure-tone audiometric examination and its thorough analysis is decisive in the most adequate choice of the future otosurgical procedure. The final outcome of the middle ear surgery for hearing rehabilitation is closely dependent on thorough patients' qualification for adequate type of surgery. To
OBJECTIVE
Explore the relationship between the pathogenic mutations of SLC26A4 gene and inner ear malformation, and analyze the feasibility of genetic testing to help current diagnosis in part of children with sensorineural hearing loss.
METHODS
2094 cases of children were detected by SLC26A4 with
BACKGROUND
The diagnosis of perilymphatic fistula (PLF) is often difficult, and therefore the condition can be overlooked. Tympanoscopy presents an alternative procedure for visualising the middle ear anatomy, and it may help to diagnose PLF.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the use
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of intratympanic steroid injection (ITSI) with that of systemic steroids as an initial treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) with diabetes.
METHODS
Prospective, nonrandomized multicenter clinical
OBJECTIVE
Analyze the data of the patients with sensorineural hearing loss in China and study the classification and incidence of inner ear malformationsby the high-resolution computed tomography.
METHODS
The investigation took a retrospective review of CT findings relating to the 2,747 cases of
Otitis media with effusion (OME) occurs when fluid collects in the middle-ear space behind the tympanic membrane (TM). As a result of this effusion, sounds can become attenuated by as much as 30-40 dB, causing a conductive hearing loss (CHL). However, the exact mechanical cause of the hearing loss
Pathogenic link of dentofacial abnormalities with posture disturbance and vertebra deformation causes interest in researchers, because the problem of the disorder of skeletal system has an important role. Orthodontic correction of dentofacial abnormalities without treatment of skeletal BACKGROUND
The current standard treatment for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) comprises of tapered course of oral corticosteroids. Intratympanic steroids are introduced as another modality of treatment, but management of SSNHL continues to be debatable. The present study was designed to
OBJECTIVE
The study goals were (1) to determine if the degree and pattern of semicircular canal dysmorphology and the presence or absence of a cochlea in patients with congenital sensorineural hearing loss predict audiologic outcome, severity, or the frequencies involved and (2) to review the recent
Osseous atresia and chronic otitis media are diseases benefit with middle ear implants. Surgery for atresia is technically complicated, has significant number of complications and functional results are often poor. The osseointegrated hearing aids are an alternative. They provide a very good
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the constitute, imaging and auditory characteristics of pediatric patients with congenital malformations of inner ear in sensorineural hearing loss(SNHL).
METHODS
Imaging and auditory data of 125 cases (225 ears) in 860 pediatric patients with congenital SNHL who referred to ENT
The relationship between meningitis and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) has long been studied. Many histopathological studies of animal models and human temporal bones with respect to bacterial meningitis have been carried out. However, the relationship between SNHL and tuberculous meningitis was
CONCLUSIONS
In patients with progressive conductive hearing loss and a normal tympanic membrane (TM), and with soft tissue density in the middle ear cavity (MEC) on temporal bone computed tomography (TBCT) scan, open-type congenital cholesteatoma (OCC) should be highly suspected and a proper
