Auditory capacity of the better-hearing ear in asymmetric hearing loss
ConclusionsIndividuals with SSD show significantly poorer hearing in the better-hearing ear than individuals with NH from the ISO 7029:2017. In clinical practice, we should, therefore, inform our SSD patients that their disease is accompanied by a reduced hearing capacity on the contralateral side, especially in certain etiologies.

Antiseptics in otorhinolaryngology-a substance overview
HNO. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.1007/s00106-024-01456-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFor preoperative skin antisepsis, alcohol-containing iodine solutions and octenidine are suitable. For wound antisepsis, polyhexanide and hypochlorous acid (HOCL) are also available, but only PVP-iodine and HOCL can be applied to cartilage. Chlorhexidine should only be used as mouth- and bodywash for Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) decolonization. For the many other throat antiseptics, evidence of clinical efficacy is lacking. For decolonization of the nares, polyhexanide and octenidine are available as nasal gels, but these are inferior to mupiro...

Case Report: Antibiotic Irrigation and Drainage Tube for Managing Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media After Cochlear Implantation
We present the case of post-CI CSOM in a 15-year-old girl. She had been utilizing a unilateral cochlear implant for 7 years and had been experiencing intermittent earache and discharge in her only audible ear for the past 15 months. After antibiotic treatment failed to resolve her symptoms, we opted for a tympanomastoidectomy, and removed the receiver-stimulator package while keeping the electrode inside her cochlea. Simultaneously, we inserted an irrigation and drainage tube into the mastoid and middle ear space to discharge the exudate and control infection by applying topical antibiotics. The patient's ear discharge had...
