The treatment of choice for sudden sensorineural hearing loss is still lacking. Many drugs have been used over the years, with varying results and steroids have proven to be effective in clinical trials, albeit systemic administration is associated with untoward side-effects and cannot be used in all patients. The transtympanic approach presents two main advantages: first, it allows higher conc...

Immune-mediated pathogenesis has been suggested for idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss. Recent studies have investigated the relationship between idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss and autoantibodies against inner ear antigens. We conducted a prospective, observational study in a series of pediatric patients affected by idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss. Autoantibodies against inner e...

Abstract Date Presented 04/22/2023 Children born with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) are at a higher risk for motor, sensory, and social development delays. This study reveals gap between what is assessed treated the challenges experienced by children SNHL. Primary Author Speaker: Sophie Sherman

In studying speech intelligibility in traffic noise, I was able to reproduce a sound field with considerable reality by reproducing both speech and traffic noises by the speaker method using a CD. As a result, the following conclusions were reached. 1) The influence of noise on speech intelligibility is similar for the single syllable and adult disyllable in normal persons. 2) The influence of ...

Delayed endolymphatic hydrops (DEH) is an unusual variation of Ménière's disease characterized by episodic vertigo that develops some time after the onset of a profound, typically unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. This case study describes a 48-year-old male who presented with complaints of episodic vertigo and disequilibrium 15 years following the onset of unilateral sensorineural hearing...

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common congenital deficit. As non genetic contributions congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMV) is the most frequent cause for this disease. In 10% 20% of patients with sensorineural hearing loss intrauterine infection with cytomegalovirus is diagnosed. Hearing impairment due to CMV can be diagnosed at birth; nevertheless 33% 50% is late-onset l...
