METHODS From March 2007 to November 2010, 193 healthy infants who failed the NHS test and 51 infants who were treated in the NICU were referred for e...
Patients with vestibular schwannomas (VSs) most commonly present with sensorineural hearing loss, which is often insidious or gradual. Up to 26% of patients may present with sudden hearing loss, however, which poses an important surgical challenge. Sudden hearing loss has been attributed to spasm or occlusion of the labyrinthine artery resulting from tumor compression, and it is usually treated...
BACKGROUND Hearing Aids amplify sounds at certain frequencies to help patients, who have hearing loss, to improve the quality of life. Variables affecting hearing improvement include the characteristics of the patients' hearing loss, the characteristics of the hearing aids, and the characteristics of the frequencies. Although the two former characteristics have been studied, there are only limi...
Hearing loss and tinnitus are the main symptoms of otosclerosis. Little is known about the cause of tinnitus in otosclerosis and the factors influencing the effect of surgery on tinnitus. Though by surgery, we are able to inform patient about probable hearing gain and even benefit concerning bilateral hearing, it is however difficult to predict the course of tinnitus. The principle aim of stape...
conclusions this study revealed that the type of hearing loss, presence in the rehabilitation program, and the age of cochlear implantation can be major prognostic factors of the response to the treatment, then the country’s health policy makers and health planners must executively take into account the infants’ hearing screening program during the first 6 month of age. results the mean and the...
Syphilis is a preventable and curable multi-organ disease caused by Treponema pallidum that may also affect the inner ear. First reported in 1887 by Adam Politzer, luetic endolymphatic hydrops (LEH) is a treatable complication of syphilis which causes a potentially reversible sensorineural hearing loss. Symptoms of LEH include fluctuating hearing loss (often low frequency), tinnitus, and vertig...
INTRODUCTION Otospongiosis is temporal bone osteodystrophy, characterized by disordered bone resorption and neoformation in genetically predisposed individuals. Clinically, otospongiosis is characterized by progressive conductive and/or mixed hearing loss and by tinnitus. OBJECTIVE A review of the last two decades of publications that report the degree of tinnitus improvement with stapes surg...
We compared self-reported handicap (Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly, HHIE) scores before and after a 6-week period of hearing aid use in subjects drawn from a pool of 115 elderly persons with hearing impairment. Study patients (PTs) were divided into two categories according to whether scores on a dichotic listening test (Dichotic Sentence Identification Test, DSI) were normal or abn...
Purpose The study aims were (a) to explore the relationship between hearing loss and cognitive-communication performance of individuals with dementia, and (b) to determine if hearing loss is accurately identified by long-term care (LTC) staff. The research questions were (a) What is the effect of amplification on cognitive-communication test performance of LTC residents with early- to middle-st...
