35 patients with unilateral sensorineural impairment and hearing levels within the normal range in the opposite ears were investigated by bilateral transtympanic electrocochleography (TIECoG). Only 19 patients (54%) satisfied the criteria for Meniere's disease and 16 patients (46%) showed sensorineural impairment due to other etiologies. Clinical studies have focused exclusively on the a mp...

this randomized clinical trial aimed to assess the efficacy of phlebotomy on improvement of hearing loss. 71 patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss were enrolled in this randomized clinical trial study. they were divided into two groups: group a received steroid and hydration therapy plus phlebotomy, while group b received the same regimen without phlebotomy. they were matched accordin...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the vestibular aqueduct in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. METHODS We evaluated 19 patients (12 men and seven women; age range, 22-79 years) with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss, using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. All these patients had unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss. We also evaluated 47 control subjects...

One hundred three cases of skull fractures in or around the temporal bone were reviewed for hearing loss. Of these, 100 patients had skull series, 66 had computed tomographic head scans, and 44 had polytomographic studies of the temporal bone. Hearing loss in head trauma can be grouped into four categories: conductive hearing loss, peripheral sensorineural hearing loss, central sensorineural he...

hearing loss and meningitis were correlate in some aspects. hearing loss is the situation that can be shown in cochlear or retrocochlear defects. cochlear hearing loss is caused by inner or outer hair cell damage (however cochlear hearing loss has another causes, such as defect of arterial spiral ganglion, basilar and tectorial membrane) and retrocochlear hearing loss has neural origin and meni...

Assessment (staging) of workers exposed to vibration, based solely on a subjective history, has been shown to be unsatisfactory. The internationally agreed use of a sensorineural component in the Stockholm classification requires the use of sensory objective tests. Four hundred and twenty two subjects were assessed by a subjective history supplemented by multiple objective tests. These tests co...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the cerebral gray matter volume alterations in unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients within the acute period by the voxel-based morphometry method, and to determine if hearing impairment is associated with regional gray matter alterations in unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients. STUDY DESIGN Prospective case study. SETTING Tertiary c...
