Subjects and.Methods: A pre- and post-intervention study was conducted between February 2022 and July 2022 at the outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital in Seoul, South Korea. Ten participants (four males and six females) with HL and dizziness were recruited. Participants were screened using pure-tone audiometry and visual analog scale scores at baseline. Selected participants underwent the Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB) and Korean Dizziness Handicap Inventory (K-DHI) in the unaided state. Thereafter, participants were provided HAs and instructed to use them for at least 6 hours every day. At the 1-month follow-up, all participants were assessed in the aided state using the same tests as at baseline. All tests were performed bilaterally.Results: In the mCTSIB, a significant difference was observed in the foam surface-eyes closed score before (median=2.35) and after (median=2.2) HA use (p=0.049). No significant differences were observed in the K-DHI scores before and after HA use.Conclusions: HA use may improve the static and subjective perception of balance in patients with HL and dizziness. Future research should explore the benefits of HAs under various balance conditions such as dynamic balance and gait.","PeriodicalId":44886,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Audiology and Otology","volume":"29 1","pages":"8-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11824520/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143366341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patient underwent a left canal wall down mastoidectomy and oval window defect repair, remaining well for 3 years. He experienced two more episodes of bacterial meningitis as he got older, prompting repeated exploratory tympanotomy and repair of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak after each episode.

It is characterized by sudden or gradual facial muscle palsy and is caused by viral reactivation, inflammation, or ischemia of the facial nerve. Prognosis varies widely, depending on the severity of nerve damage and timeliness of the intervention. Steroid therapy remains the cornerstone of Bell's palsy treatment because it reduces inflammation and facilitates recovery. Early administration, preferably within 72 hours of symptom onset, considerably improves outcomes. However, the efficacy of combination therapy remains controversial. Current guidelines recommend oral steroids as the primary treatment for Bell's palsy and suggest the selective use of antiviral agents in severe cases or when viral involvement is strongly suspected. For severe facial palsy, such as Ramsay Hunt syndrome or varicella-zoster virus-induced cases, combination therapy may improve outcomes and reduce sequelae; however, high-quality evidence is limited. Steroid therapy is the main treatment of Bell's palsy and antiviral therapy can be added in severe cases to improve prognosis. Additional research is required to develop standardized guidelines, concerning the use of antiviral therapies in conjunction with steroids.","PeriodicalId":44886,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Audiology and Otology","volume":"29 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11824525/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143366031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to investigate the benefits and identify predictive factors associated with bilateral wireless streaming among hearing aid users.Subjects and methods: Eighteen adults with symmetrical, bilateral hearing loss participated in the study. To assess the benefits of wireless streaming during phone use, researchers assessed sentence/word recognition and listening effort in two scenarios: a noisy background with WT turned \"OFF\" or \"ON.\" Listening effort was evaluated through self-reported measurements.

The activation of WT demonstrated a significant improvement in the sentence/word recognition test and reduced listening effort. The MoCA score showed a significant correlation with WT (ρ=0.59, p=0.01), suggesting a positive association between cognitive function and the benefits of WT.Conclusions: Bilateral wireless streaming may enhance sentence/word recognition and reduce listening effort during phone use in hearing aid users, with these benefits potentially linked to cognitive function.","PeriodicalId":44886,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Audiology and Otology","volume":" ","pages":"271-277"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11540966/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141555666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We describe the cochleovestibular manifestations of ICs and IVCs.Subjects and methods: The study included 31 patients with ICs or IVCs. Tumor extent and exact locations were delineated using MRI. Types of HL were subcategorized into the low-to-mid frequency (250 Hz to 1 kHz), mid-to-high frequency (>1 kHz), and all-frequency (universal) HL groups.Results: The tumors involved the entire cochlear turn (two ICs) or extended beyond the cochleae (nine IVCs) in 11 patients, and 20 ICs were located in specific locations as follows: 14 in the basal, 3 in the middle, and 3 in the middle and apical turns.

In addition to age, sex, environment, lifestyle, and comorbidities are all known to be related to ARHL as well. The prevalence of ARHL can be reduced by controlling the adjustable factors that cause it. Vitamin D levels are strongly related to calcium metabolism, which can affect ARHL. This study aimed to investigate the association between vitamin D and ARHL.Subjects and methods: A total of 1,104 subjects aged >65 years were enrolled from the fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which was conducted from 2010-2012. Every participant received both an audiological assessment and a nutritional survey. The association between ARHL and serum vitamin D concentration was analyzed using logistic regression analyses with complex sampling adjusted for confounding factors such as alcohol consumption, smoking status, mobility, and bone mineral density.Results: Our multivariable analysis revealed that males in the group with lower serum levels of vitamin D (< 20 ng/mL) had a higher prevalence of ARHL (odds ratio, 1.638, 95% confidence interval, 1.058-2.538, p=0.027).Conclusions: This finding suggests that lower serum levels of vitamin D are associated with ARHL in the older male population.","PeriodicalId":44886,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Audiology and Otology","volume":" ","pages":"252-259"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11540969/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141555670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
