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.

Clinical evaluation of pulsatile tinnitus: history and physical examination techniques to predict vascular etiology
Conclusion In patients with PT, clinical history and physical examination can achieve high performance at detecting a shunting lesion. Potentially treatable venous etiologies may also be suggested by relief with neck compression. (Source: Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery)

Alterations of the cerebral microstructure in patients with noise ‐induced hearing loss: A diffusion tensor imaging study
ConclusionThe changes in the white matter (WM) microstructure may be related to hearing loss caused by noise exposure, and the WM structural abnormalities in patients with NIHL were mainly located in the syndesmotic fibers of the temporooccipital region, which affected the auditory and language pathways. This confirmed that the auditory pathways have abnormal structural connectivity in patients with NIHL. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1466: Long-Term Surgical Outcome of Class A and B Tympanomastoid Paragangliomas
Conclusions: Tympanomastoid PGL represents the most common neoplasm of the middle ear space. The most frequent presenting symptoms include pulsatile tinnitus and hearing loss, whereas the presence of retrotympanic mass was evident in all cases at the time of initial otoscopic evaluation. Proper documentation of facial function and audiometric evaluation are crucial elements of preoperative workup. The most preferred preoperative radiologic examination is high-resolution computer tomography (HRCT), whereas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with or without gadolinium enhancement is reserved for cases with a dilemma of carotid...

Vestibular Schwannoma International Study of Active Surveillance Versus Stereotactic Radiosurgery: the VISAS Study
CONCLUSION: SRS management in matched cohorts of Koos grade I and II VS patients demonstrated superior tumor control, comparable hearing preservation rates, and significantly lower odds of experiencing neurological deficits. These findings delineate the safety and efficacy of SRS in in the management of this patient population.PMID:38588868 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2024.04.004 (Source: Health Physics)

Investigation of the Effectiveness of Kinesio Tape Treatment in Adult Individuals with Subjective Tinnitus
CONCLUSION: In subjective tinnitus, the pathophysiology of which is unknown and there is no consensus on an effective treatment method, improvement in tinnitus severity, quality of life and depression perception in both audiologic and perceptual evaluations were obtained as a result of KT application. We believe that KT, which has no side effects and is easy to apply, is a method that can be easily used in individuals with subjective tinnitus.PMID:38581339 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)
