Investigation of hearing aid fitting according to the national acoustic laboratories ’ prescription for non-linear hearing aids and the desired sensation level methods in Japanese speakers: a crossover-controlled trial
Some studies have directly compared the National Acoustic Laboratories ’ prescription for non-linear hearing aids (HAs) version 2 (NAL-NL2) and Desired Sensation Level for non-linear HAs version 5 (DSLv5), although none were performed in Japan. As the Japanese language is a tonal language that has different linguistic characteristics than those of the studied languag es, we compared the outcomes of the NAL-NL2 and DSLv5 in hearing-impaired Japanese participants.

Management of cholesterol granuloma due to eosinophilic otitis media using large ventilation tube
A 46-year-old man who had been diagnosed with eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) and eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis was referred to our department. He suffered from bilateral earache, clogged ear sensation, and otorrhea associated with EOM. He had been treated with a myringotomy and a ventilation tube (VT) insertion. However, his symptoms did not improve, and the VT repeatedly fell out. We performed canal wall down mastoidectomy via a retro-auricular incision to remove the presumed cholesterol granuloma (CG) and a long-term VT insertion. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Retrospective study of risk factors for tympanic membrane perforation in the early period after intratympanic steroid injection
Intratympanic steroid injection (ITSI) can be an effective treatment for sudden sensorineural hearing loss or Meniere's disease. Tympanic membrane (TM) perforation after ITSI is a major complication which needs additional treatment. The purpose of this study is to assess the factors associated with TM perforation after ITSI.

Internal carotid artery dissection caused by elongated styloid process
A 69-year-old man with impaired consciousness, right hemiplegia, and aphasia was admitted to our emergency room for thorough examination. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) scan of the head revealed a cerebral infarction due to dissection of the left internal carotid artery. Contrast-enhanced CT prior to internal carotid artery stenting showed that the left elongated styloid process ran in close proximity to the left internal carotid artery, with a minimum distance of 2 mm.

Postoperative serum interleukin-6 level as a risk factor for development of hyperactive delirium with agitation after head and neck surgery with free tissue transfer reconstruction
Occurrence of hyperactive postoperative delirium (POD) with agitation after head and neck surgery with free tissue transfer reconstruction (HNS-FTTR) is associated with the risk of life-threatening complications. The relationships between occurrence of hyperactive POD after HNS-FTTR and inflammatory markers reflecting the surgical stress response, represented by postoperative interleukin-6 levels, are not fully understood.

Proposal for a novel classification of benign parotid tumors based on localization
Postoperative facial nerve paralysis is the most problematic complication after surgical treatment of parotid tumors. Localization of tumors is highly relevant for the surgical approach, but existing classification systems do not focus on the association between localization and surgical technique. Therefore, we created a new localization-based classification system for benign parotid tumors and investigated the characteristics of tumors in each localization and the frequency of postoperative facial nerve paralysis by retrospectively applying the classification to previous cases.

Quality of life after mastoid surgery. Is there a real benefit to preserving the posterior wall of the external auditory canal? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Canal wall up (CWU) and canal wall down (CWD) mastoidectomies represent the most common cholesteatoma surgical techniques. In this meta-analysis, we compare the postoperative quality of life (QoL) in patients treated with either CWU or CWD mastoidectomy. (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)

Drug-induced olfactory and gustatory dysfunction: Analysis of FDA adverse events reporting system
With the COVID-19 pandemic, there is growing interest and research in olfactory and gustatory dysfunction (OGD). Drug-induced dysfunction is an often overlooked etiology. While several medications include smell or taste disturbance as a side effect, there are no publications describing which medications are most frequently implicated. We aim to describe the patterns of these adverse drug reactions (ADRs) using the FDA Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS). (Source: Auris, Nasus, Larynx)
