The aim of this study was to provide more information on the causes of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in children cochlear implant candidates in Croatia. The retrospective study included 270 children candidates for cochlear implantation between January 1997 and January 2005 at our institution. The medical assessment of the candidates included the history, physical examination, radiologic eva...

Hajas et al. recently examined the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in patients with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) [1]. Auditory symptoms are relatively frequent, but apparently underestimated, in patients with connective tissue disease [2]. SNHL is rapidly progressive and accompanied by vertigo and/or tinnitus in some patients, but it is often asymptomatic. Since SNHL c...

Abstract Background Children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) form a major chunk of the population difficulty. Since auditory system is close to vestibular and shares common fluid, abnormality in might impair functioning system. Main body abstract The present systematic review aimed at studying application cervical ocular evoked myogenic potential responses (cVEMP oVEMP) during assessment...

To estimate the frequency of isolated enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) in patients with non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in an Egyptian population sample and to correlate its size with the degree of hearing loss. The study group comprised 16 patients (32 ears) suffering from non-syndromic SNHL since childhood. After a complete basic audiological evaluation, all patients were su...

Introduction: Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) is a newly revealed clinical manifestation in COVID-19 patients. This because corona virus thought to cause auditory neuropathy spectrum disorders, inflammation, hypoxia due erythrocyte deoxygenation, ischemia vascular occlusion, and immunological reactions that induce cellular stress pathways peripheral central organs. Case: A case of SSN...

Autoimmune inner ear disease is a cause of sensorineural hearing loss, first described in 1979 by McCabe. The occurrence during rheumatic diseases is already documented in adults, but to our knowledge, this evidence is still lacking in children. A 13-yr-old girl affected by juvenile psoriatic arthritis, treated with etanercept, developed a bilateral and asymmetric sensorineural deafness. The pa...

Noise-induced permanent threshold shifts (NIPTS) were computed from retrospective audiometric analyses by subtracting aging effects on hearing sensitivity in sixty-eight patients with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss who reported significant occupational noise exposure histories. There were significant effects of age on NIPTS but no significant gender- or ear- differences in terms of NIPTS....

OBJECTIVE This report presents data from four studies to examine standard bone-conduction reference equivalent threshold force levels (RETFL), especially at 4 kHz where anomalous air-bone gaps are common. DESIGN Data were mined from studies that obtained air- and bone-conduction thresholds from normal-hearing and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) participants, using commercial audiometers and...

Objective: To estimate the relationship between saccular dysfunction and low frequency age-related sensorineural hearing loss (a-SNHL). Methods: In this case-control study, sixty old men volunteers evaluated met inclusion criteria. They presented to the audiology department of Hamadan University of medical sciences (Hamadan, Iran). After history taking, all of audiological tests done on same. R...
