"To implant or not to implant": electrically evoked auditory brainstem response audiometry for decision-making in vestibular schwannoma resection with CI
HNO. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.1007/s00106-024-01471-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVestibular schwannomas (VS) are often associated with debilitating hearing loss. Therefore, preservation and rehabilitation of hearing have become major therapeutic goals of VS management. Recently, cochlear implantation (CI) has been established as an effective treatment option for VS-associated hearing loss. Nevertheless, the integrity and proper function of the cochlear nerve must be evaluated before conducting CI to ensure optimal CI outcomes. Various methods to determine cochlear nerve integrity and functionality have emerged in the last ...

Cochlear implantation in patients with autoimmune hearing loss
CONCLUSION: Cochlear implantation can be necessary in some AIED patients and poses a sufficient method for hearing rehabilitation. Depending on the activity of the underlying disease, a rise in impedances may occur. Immunomodulatory treatment may therefore be necessary to maintain adequate hearing results with the CI.PMID:38647666 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-024-01472-5 (Source: HNO)

Allergen immunotherapy for rare allergens
HNO. 2024 Apr 19. doi: 10.1007/s00106-024-01469-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAmong allergies to aeroallergens, approximately 20% are allotted to the so-called rare allergens. These include ash pollen, weed pollen, storage mites, molds, and animal allergens. The prevalences of allergies to these allergens are lower, but affected patients also suffer considerably from their "rare" allergy. Hence, these allergies should neither be overseen nor completely forgotten in daily practice. Especially mold, mite, and animal allergens often induce asthma, so that the significance of allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) should not...

Frankfurt concept of early inpatient rehabilitation after cochlear implant treatment : Feasibility for aftercare
CONCLUSION: A very early start of inpatient rehabilitation after cochlear implantation was successfully implemented. The rehabilitation was completed within 7 weeks of CI surgery. Comparison of speech recognition test results before and after rehabilitation showed a significant improvement. A clear rehabilitation effect can therefore be demonstrated. Inclusion of CI rehabilitation in the German catalog of follow-up treatments is thus scientifically justified and therefore strongly recommended.PMID:38630310 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-024-01441-y (Source: HNO)

Open educational resources for otorhinolaryngology : A pilot study on needs assessment and implementation
CONCLUSION: This project yielded the first OER from a German ENT department, tailored to the German medical curriculum. One significant barrier to OER use in medicine, more than in other fields, is data protection. This challenge can be navigated by obtaining consent to publish patient data as OER. OER hold the promise to play a pivotal role in fostering cooperation and collaboration among educators, aiding educators in lesson preparation, and simultaneously enhancing didactic quality.PMID:38625372 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-024-01465-4 (Source: HNO)
