One of the most important applications of the Brainstem evoked response audiometry (ABR) is in the evaluation of hearing loss in children. Today the ABR is also indicated in the screening of cochleo-vestibular syndromes to detect retrocochlear lesions, to monitor patients in a coma (brain death), in monitoring the brainstem during skull base surgery, etc. Among the many BERA qualities, is its c...

Background: Hearing disorders are reported in thalassemia patients treated with deferoxamine. This study aimed to assess hearing loss in Iranian thalassemia major patients treated with deferoxamine. Methods: This review article was designed based on PRISMA guidelines. To review the literature, two researchers studied national and international databases including Iranmedex, Magiran, Medlib, SI...

Despite the significant advances in understanding the molecular basis of hearing loss, precise identification of genetic cause still presents some difficulties, owing to pheno‐ typical variation. Gene discovery efforts for hearing disorders are complicated by ex‐ treme heterogeneity. Mutations in some of these genes, such as GJB2, MYO7A, CDH23, OTOF, SLC26A4, TMC1, are quite common and responsi...

abstract   introduction: conductive hearing loss attenuates and delays sound transmission in the middle ear. it can make variety of central auditory processing disorders; that persists even after resolve of peripheral auditory system problems. one of the aspects of central auditory processing is the temporal processing, which is important for understanding speech, including temporal resolution,...

Hearing loss in children may cause social isolation and poor communication skills, potentially affecting mental disorders quality of life. aids (HA) provide auditory stimuli that can improve children's speech ability influence their A cross-sectional study three special schools-B (SLB-B) Semarang was carried out. total 82 (7-12 years old) with severe hearing or without were included. Quality li...

UNLABELLED Hearing thresholds are not always predictive of performance in environments with reduced extrinsic redundancy. OBJECTIVE To investigate the communication disorders reported by adults with normal hearing, and to assess their underlying conditions through behavioral and electrophysiological testing. METHOD This case control study enrolled 20 adults with normal hearing thresholds an...

Permanent hearing loss is a leading global health care burden, with 1 in 10 people affected to a mild or greater degree. A shortage of trained healthcare professionals and associated infrastructure and resource limitations mean that hearing health services are unavailable to the majority of the world population. Utilizing information and communication technology in hearing health care, or tele-...

inner ear cells are sensitive to some metabolic and hormonal disorders, but the relation between chronic renal failure (crf), regular dialysis treatment (rdt) and sensorineural hearing loss (snhl) is still a debatable field. the object of this paper was to verify the presence of snhl in patients submitted to hemodialysis with different duration due to crf and in those submitted to conservative ...
