Advances in Auditory Prostheses

Advances in auditory prostheses were accompanied by competing ideas and bold experiments in the 1960s and 1970s, an interesting and exciting time that was reminiscent of the Era of Warring States in ancient China (for a detailed review see Zeng et al. 2008). The most contested technological issue was between a single-electrode (House 1974) and a multi-electrode (Clark et al. 1977) cochlear impl...

Advances in Auditory and Vestibular Medicine.

Auditory and Vestibular medicine is becoming more accepted as a specialty of its own, Medical NeurOtology. Recent advances in the field have been instrumental in the understanding of the scientific foundations, pathophysiology, clinical approach and management of patients with hearing and vestibular disorders. This paper will review these advances.

Clinical Advances and issues in Auditory and Vestibular Medicine

1 Recent advances in basic science, technology and treatments have increased our abilities to manage hearing and balance diseases more effectively. Advances in molecular genetics have allowed better understanding of congenital and hereditary hearing loss. The advent of regenerative medicine led to auditory hair cell regeneration in laboratory animals. Advances in hearing aids, cochlear implants...

Auditory Lateralization Ability in Children with (Central) Auditory Processing Disorder

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the auditory lateralization ability in children with (central) auditory processing disorder. Methods: Participants were divided in two groups: 15 children with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (8-10 years) and 80 normal children (8-11 years) from both genders with pure-tone air-conduction thresholds better than 20 dB HL bilaterally a...
