On the other hand, office vestibular tests can be easily performed and are low-cost. Objectives: To measure the sensitivity of a proposed battery approach to be conducted as an office procedure to diagnose side and site of vestibular lesions. Methods: This study was conducted on 36 patients suffering from vertigo with a confirmed diagnosis of vestibular disorder by laboratory vestibular tests. These included a standard video nystagmography (VNG) test that entails recording of eye examination including gaze testing, saccadic eye movements and smooth pursuit together with positional and positioning examinations as well as bithermal calorics and Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) tests. Patients were evaluated independently by history, examination of eye movements and a battery of office vestibular tests that included the Head Shake nystagmus Test (HST), Head Thrust Test (HTT) and Fukuda Stepping Test as well as the Dix-Hallpike test. Audiological, radiological and laboratory tests were applied to establish aetiological diagnosis whenever indicated. Results and conclusions: One patient showed abnormal eye movements that were confirmed by full diagnostic work-up for vestibular disorders in keeping with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, and was excluded from forthcoming analysis. Sensitivity of the HST test with respect to results of the laboratory vestibular tests (VNG and VEMP) was 51.5% while that of HTT was 43%. Moreover, the Fukuda Stepping Test showed a sensitivity of 48.5% with non-significant correlation to the side of caloric weakness and a significant correlation to the side of abnormal VEMP response. The proposed battery of office vestibular tests proved to be a quick screening approach that was successful in helping to identify site and side of peripheral vestibular lesions in 77% of patients. On the other hand, normal office vestibular tests were obtained in patients with laboratory findings showing mild caloric weakness or with only an abnormal VEMP.","PeriodicalId":88223,"journal":{"name":"Audiological medicine","volume":"9 1","pages":"79 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77300597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the majority of cases, the cause is unknown. Objective: The aim of this review paper is to evaluate all the current literature in order to consider whether or not vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is an efficient treatment for patients with BVH. The introduction of balance prostheses will also be considered as a suitable yet alternative treatment to VR for this patient group. Type of review: A narrative review was conducted of the publications relating to treatment of patients with BVH. Online databases: PubMed, Science Direct, and Web of Knowledge were used, supplemented by key words to identify literature published after 2000. Conclusion: This review concluded that VR is a useful treatment method for patients with BVH. However, further research is needed to investigate factors that influence success, such as the patient's clinical presentation, age, or compliance with the programme. The use of balance prosthesis is a developing field and, to date, positive outcomes in reducing postural sway in BVH patients have been documented. There are several disadvantages to this method of treatment; therefore, further developments are needed in the design of the sensory devices before they can be fully considered as an alternative treatment to VR.","PeriodicalId":88223,"journal":{"name":"Audiological medicine","volume":"2 1","pages":"52 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78999181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aims of this study were 1) to assess the proportion of hearing aid recipients reporting tinnitus; 2) to investigate hearing aid benefit among hearing aid users with or without tinnitus; and 3) to assess the association between tinnitus distress and hearing aid benefit. Study design: This was a cross-sectional design with individuals who had been fitted with hearing aids one year earlier. A total of 160 individuals were approached and 85 returned the questionnaires. The main outcome measures were Swedish translations of the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB; Cox & Alexander, 1995) and the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (Newman et al., 1996). Results: A total of 85 hearing aid users (mean age 67.4 years) participated, and of those 61% (52/85) reported tinnitus. Tinnitus patients reported more problems on the APHAB subscales Background Noise without a hearing aid, aversiveness with hearing aid, and less benefit from the hearing aid in aversive situations. Tinnitus distress was associated with less benefit on the APHAB subscales dealing with the aversiveness of sound and hearing in background noise. Conclusion: Tinnitus patients with hearing aids report slightly less benefit and more problems with their hearing aids, in particular in relation to background sounds and aversiveness of sounds.","PeriodicalId":88223,"journal":{"name":"Audiological medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"73 - 78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89736368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Study design: Transtympanic electrocochleography (ECochG) was recorded from two adult patients carrying the R445H OPA1 mutation, and from five children with mutations in the OTOF gene. Cochlear potentials to clicks or tone-bursts were compared to recordings obtained from 16 normally hearing subjects. Electrically-evoked neural responses recorded through the cochlear implant were also obtained. Results: The cochlear microphonic (CM) was recorded from all subjects, with normal amplitudes. After cancelling the CM, cochlear potentials were of negative polarity with reduced amplitude and prolonged duration compared to controls in both groups of patients. Prolonged negative responses were recorded as low as 50–90dB below behavioural threshold in subjects with OTOF mutations whereas in the OPA1 disorder the prolonged potentials were correlated with hearing threshold. A compound action potential (CAP) was superimposed on the prolonged activity at high stimulation intensity in two children with mutations in the OTOF gene while CAPs were absent in the OPA1 disorder. Electrically-evoked compound action potentials (e-CAPs) were only recorded from subjects with OTOF mutations following cochlear implantation. Conclusions: The findings are consistent with abnormal function of distal portions of auditory nerve fibres in patients carrying the OPA1 mutation whereas the low-threshold prolonged potentials recorded from children with mutations in the OTOF gene are consistent with abnormal neurotransmitter release resulting in reduced dendritic activation and impairment of spike initiation.","PeriodicalId":88223,"journal":{"name":"Audiological medicine","volume":"98 4 1","pages":"59 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89211769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: To assess the effect of a canalith repositioning manoeuvre (CRM) on the improvement in postural instability in patients with idiopathic BPPV and to find factors that would predict this improvement. Methods: Nineteen patients with a diagnosis of BPPV of canalithiasis pathology participated in this study. After diagnosis, all patients were treated by CRM. Postural stability was assessed by a Sensory Organization Test (SOT) with six sensory conditions before and one week after successful CRM. Results: CRM improved postural instability in 36.8% (7/19) of patients. There was a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-repositioning SOT 4, 5, 6 and the composite score (CS). Compared to the control age-matched normative values, there was a statistically significant difference at SOT 4, 5, 6 and CS pre-repositioning and only a statistically significant difference at SOT 6 post-repositioning. Individually, some patients still had abnormal SOT scores. Residual imbalance was reported in about two-thirds of our series of patients (12/19) after successful CRM. Patients with right-sided BPPV significantly improved their SOT scores after repositioning, while females reported more residual imbalance. Conclusions: Successful CRM improved significantly postural instability in BPPV, but not in all patients. Better postural stability was encountered after CRM in patients with right-sided BPPV, which may be attributed to being the more commonly affected side or due to a more severe lesion.","PeriodicalId":88223,"journal":{"name":"Audiological medicine","volume":"2 1","pages":"15 - 8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86398122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All the volunteers reported no history of auditory, neurological or mental disorder. The event related potential (ERP) components (i.e. P1-N1-P2 complex and mismatch negativity (MMN)) were measured using the 128-electrode channels EGI system. Results: Three different categories of ERP responses were classified on the basis of waveform configuration, size of the peak amplitude and the number of peaks together with scalp distribution of MMN. Ten participants (33.3%) had well defined ERP responses, 13 (43.3%) showed moderately defined ERP responses, and seven (23.3%) had poorly defined ERP responses. Although there were no significant differences in P1, P2, and MMN latencies, participants with the poorly defined ERP waves had significantly longer N1 latency than that in subjects with well defined ERP waves. In addition, significantly lower MMN amplitudes were also found in this group. Conclusion: Combining a waveform classification method and the MMN scalp distribution pattern, together with quantitative ERP response analysis, may provide more reliable and practical means for clinical application.","PeriodicalId":88223,"journal":{"name":"Audiological medicine","volume":"44 1","pages":"16 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86792632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanisms behind this progression are, however, unclear. The study objective was to search for specific radiological signs of inner ear pathology, such as fibrosis or sclerosis associated with progression of a trauma related SNHL. Could specific types of fractures and/or brain contusions be associated with progression? Methods: Eighteen subjects with a history of CHI, skull fracture and/or brain contusion, four to fifteen years prior to the present investigation were studied. All subjects had an initial trauma related SNHL. Thirteen subjects had a varying degree of SNHL progression. All subjects underwent otomicroscopy, standard audiological evaluation, CT and MRI. Results: No cochlear changes were demonstrated on MRI or CT in any of the 13 subjects with a trauma related SNHL progression, even in cases with extensive progression. However, in one subject with post-traumatic unilateral deafness an inner ear alteration was demonstrated on MRI. Conclusions: The observed progression of SNHL is probably due to processes at cellular level, not detectable using current radiological methodology. Furthermore, no specific type of fracture or localization of brain contusion seen on neuroimaging was found to indicate an increased risk for SNHL progression.","PeriodicalId":88223,"journal":{"name":"Audiological medicine","volume":"33 1","pages":"33 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77669056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
