Insights into Presbycusis From the First Temporal Bone Laboratory Within the United States
The Johns Hopkins Otologic Research Laboratory was founded in 1924 as the first human temporal bone laboratory within the United States. To better understand the contributions of the Johns Hopkins Otologic Research Laboratory to our understanding of presbycusis, we consulted with a medical librarian and archivist to search the Alan Mason Chesney Medical Archives, PubMed, JSTOR, and Johns Hopkins Bulletin for published and unpublished works from the lab. Between 1924 and 1938, Samuel J. Crowe, the Chairman of Otolaryngology, and anatomist Stacy R. Guild amassed a collection of ∼1,800 temporal bones. This collection allowe...

The Laterality of Early Age-Related Hearing Loss and Brain β-Amyloid
Conclusions:
Worse hearing in the left ear, but not the right ear, was associated with higher β-amyloid. This might relate to asymmetric central auditory processing. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)

Analysis of Hearing Preservation in Middle Cranial Fossa Resection of Vestibular Schwannoma
Objective:
Describe the effect of preoperative hearing on the likelihood of hearing preservation after middle cranial fossa (MCF) approach for resection of vestibular schwannoma (VS) and the effect of hearing preservation on disease-specific quality of life (QOL).
Study design:
Retrospective chart review.
Setting:
Academic tertiary care skull base surgery program.
Patients:
Sixty three adult patients with preoperative word recognition score (WRS) ≥50% who underwent MCF resection of VS between 2017 and 2020.
Interventions:
All patients underwent MCF VS resection with attempted hearing prese...

Comparing Hearing Outcomes in Irradiated and Conservatively Managed Vestibular Schwannoma
Objective:
Compare hearing outcome for vestibular schwannoma patients following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or conservative management.
Study Design:
Retrospective review.
Setting:
University Hospital.
Patients:
Patients with small- or medium-sized sporadic vestibular schwannoma (intracanalicular or with CPA component (Source: Otology and Neurotology)

A Case–Case Analysis of Intralabyrinthine Schwannoma Versus Intracanalicular Vestibular Schwannoma
Conclusion:
Intralabyrinthine schwannomas differ from intracanalicular schwannomas in the severity of hearing loss at presentation. Otherwise, these two tumors present in a very similar fashion—age at presentation, presenting signs and symptoms—and are treated comparably. Otolaryngologists should maintain a high degree of suspicion for ILS in patients presenting with an asymmetric hearing loss, vertigo, and tinnitus. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)

A Subset of Intracanalicular Vestibular Schwannomas Demonstrates Minimal Growth Over a 10-Year Period
Objective:
Vestibular schwannomas (VS) commonly undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) surveillance, but long-term data to support the ideal frequency is limited. Herein, we aim to investigate intracanalicular VS growth predictors and long-term growth rates (GR).
Study Design:
Retrospective chart review.
Setting:
Two tertiary care centers.
Patients:
Sporadic intracanalicular VS with initial conservative management and at least two sequential MRIs.
Intervention:
Serial MRI.
Main Outcome Measure(s):
VS were categorized by baseline internal auditory canal tertile sublocalization (fundu...

Validity of the Patient Health Questionnaire Anxiety and Depression Scale (PHQ-ADS) in Patients With Dizziness
Conclusion:
The PHQ-ADS appears to have good structural validity in patients with vertigo and dizziness. Clinicians and researchers can use this scale where a composite psychological measure is desired. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)

Vestibular and Balance Impairment Is Common in Children With Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
Conclusion:
The majority of children with PCD that we tested suffered from vestibular impairment that was previously undiagnosed. This potentially indicates that imbalance and vestibular pathology is under-diagnosed in children with PCD. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)

Does Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) Gain Correlate With Radiological Findings in the Semi-Circular Canals in Patients Carrying the p.Pro51Ser (P51S) COCH Variant Causing DFNA9? Relationship Between the Three-Dimensional Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) and MR/CT Imaging
Conclusions:
Significant correlation was observed between radiological lesions at any SCC and lower average gain of the three ipsilateral SCC. The substantially larger number of lesions during scientific assessment stresses the need to fully inform radiologists concerning differential diagnosis to facilitate accurate diagnosis when planning imaging. Focal sclerosis and narrowing of SCC in DFNA9 represent a possible biomarker of advanced stages of otovestibular deterioration. (Source: Otology and Neurotology)

Hearing Outcomes of Transmastoid Plugging for Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome by Underwater Endoscopic Surgery: With Special Reference to Transient Bone Conduction Increase in Early Postoperative Period
Objective:
To investigate the influence on hearing of transmastoid plugging of the superior semicircular canal accompanied with membranous superior canal transection by underwater endoscopic ear surgery (UWEES) for the superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome.
Study Design:
Retrospective case review.
Setting:
Tertiary referral center.
Patients:
Seven patients underwent plugging with membranous superior canal transection with UWEES from 2017 to 2019.
