Physiopathologic and Electrophysiologic Changes of the Inner Ear in Hearing Losses
نویسنده
چکیده
In this review the authors discuss the physiopathologic and electrophysiologic changes of the inner ear in Meniere's disease, otosclerosis, ototoxicity, acoustic neuroma, presbycusis, noise-induced hearing loss, metabolic hearing loss, perilymphatic fistula, syphilis, autoimmune inner ear disease, congenital genetic hearing loss, and viral labyrinthitis. The etiology and pathogenesis of hearing losses are generally not well established; and the significance of inner ear changes in hearing losses are not exactly known. The explanations provided are usually not satisfactory. The real answers are hidden within the mystery of the ear. [Journal of Turgut Özal Medical Center 1997;4(3):319-328]

Effect of replacing cochlea contour with inner ear contour on cochlea dose-volume calculations in conventional 2 dimensional and conformal 3 dimensional radiotherapy of brain
Introduction: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is one of the possible complications of radiotherapy treatment of brain tumors. The auditory system of patients with brain tumors often is placed inside of radiation field and receives a significant amount of radiation dose resulting in hearing loss. The purpose of this study was to compare contouring and delivery dose to cochlea...

Cochlear nerve (CN) aplasia refers to the absence of a visible CN on oblique sagittal magnetic resonance images of the lateral aspect of the inner auditory canal (IAC). Magnetic resonance (MR) is the preferred technique in patients with sensorineural hearing loss and/or vertigo; however, computed tomography (CT) is used to evaluate the IAC or facial nerve canal. Three types of aplasia or hypopl...

Introduction: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a probable complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) Surgery, that may be due to embolism, perfusion failure and consumption of ototoxic drugs. Since the incidence of SNHL after CABG is different according to the various reports, the present study was designed to study hearing threshold change after CABG surgery. Method: In this cross...

The mammalian cochlea is a highly complex structure which contains several cells, including sensory receptor or hair cells. The main function of the cochlear hair cells is to convert the mechanical vibrations of the sound into electrical signals, then these signals travel to the brain along the auditory nerve. Auditory hair cells in some amphibians, reptiles, fish, and birds can regenerate or r...

ABSTRACT Menier’s disease or Idiopatic endolymphatic hydrops is a disorder of the inner ear associated with a symptom complex consist of spontaneous, episodic attacks of vertigo, sensorineural hearing loss that usually fluctuates, tinnitus and often a sensation of aural fullness. The pathologic basis of disease is a disorder of the membranous labyrenth, due to endolymphatic hydrops. ...
