Should this be applicable, it would open up interesting application possibilities, e.g., as a microphone for a fully implantable cochlear implant.Materials and methods: Experimental measurements on an ear canal-eardrum model were used to analyze the acoustic properties of the FMT when used as a microphone, including frequency response and sensitivity. The FMT from the Direct Drive Simulation Set was coupled to the artificial eardrum for this purpose.Results: The results show that the FMT has a usable signal-to-noise performance over the entire frequency range investigated, albeit with a non-linear frequency characteristic. The highest sensitivity was found between 1500 and 2000 Hz.Conclusion: The study suggests that an FMT optimized for microphone properties could be used as a microphone in the middle ear, which would open up new possibilities for the development of fully implantable hearing systems. Further investigations, in particular measurements on the petrous bone, are required to determine the suitability of the FMT as a middle ear microphone more precisely.","PeriodicalId":55052,"journal":{"name":"Hno","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144210300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a validated prediction model, one can estimate word recognition with a CI, WRS65(CI), for these patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between electrically evoked compound action potentials (ECAP) and stimulation parameters of the CI system.Patients and methods: In this prospective study, 37 patients were included. The WRS65(CI) was determined after 6 and 12 months and compared with the predicted WRS65(CI). The correlation of minimum and maximum electrical stimulation with the ECAP was investigated.Results: All patients showed a significantly better WRS65(CI) after 12 months compared with the preoperatively determined WRS65(HA). The proportion of patients whose WRS65(CI) fell short of the predicted value by more than 20 percentage points was 19% after 6 months and 5% after 12 months. In the patient population, there was a closer correlation of the ECAP thresholds with the maximum than with the minimum electrical stimulation.Conclusion: For patients whose speech understanding with hearing aids is inadequate-even with a very high preoperative WRSmax in moderately severe hearing loss-CI fitting appears to be a promising treatment option. The predictive model enables individual treatment planning. Its application contributed to a quality of care that was higher than was found in an earlier retrospective study. The correlation found between stimulation intensity and ECAP in a cohort of patients with achieved predicted values supports the hypothesis that a fitting procedure based on ECAP and audiometry is a promising approach.","PeriodicalId":55052,"journal":{"name":"Hno","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144200887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this work was to design a pragmatic screening instrument for somatosensory tinnitus that can be carried out in the ENT practice with a seated patient.Materials and methods: In a modified Delphi procedure, a group of manual medicine specialists and otorhinolaryngologists identified suitable manual medicine procedures and evaluated them for their feasibility in the ENT practice.Results: The SOMASENSO check is a pragmatic examination tool that makes it easier for otorhinolaryngologists to identify potential somatosensory tinnitus patients.Conclusion: The technical difficulty and lack of test-retest reliability of many manual segmental function tests has led to a focus on the detection of movement disorders, pain, and tinnitus modulation.","PeriodicalId":55052,"journal":{"name":"Hno","volume":" ","pages":"395-400"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12102134/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143722430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
