Anosmia or Ageusia Following COVID-19 Vaccination: A Systematic Review
Conclusion: Anosmia and ageusia are important symptoms of COVID-19 vaccination. These symptoms will resolve without any treatment in most cases, although some interventions may be needed in some patients.PMID:38411125 | DOI:10.1177/01455613241233098 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Audiovestibular adverse events following COVID-19 vaccinations
CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to demonstrate an increase in general practice presentations of vertigo following mRNA vaccines (RI = 1.40, P <.001), and tinnitus following both the Vaxzevria® adenovirus vector and mRNA vaccines (RI = 2.25, P <.001 and 1.53, P <.001 respectively). There was no increase in hearing loss following any COVID-19 vaccinations. Our study, however, was unable to account for the potential of concurrent COVID-19 infections, which literature has indicated to be associated with audiovestibular events. Healthcare providers and vaccinees should be alert to potential audiovestibular compla...

Stereotactic radiosurgery for Koos grade IV vestibular schwannoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsOur systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated a high overall tumor control rate, excellent facial nerve preservation, and low incidence of new-onset or worsened tinnitus and vertigo. However, several drawbacks associated with SRS should be noted, such as the presence of post-SRS hydrocephalus risk, mediocre long-term hearing preservation, and the lack of immediate tumor decompression. Nevertheless, the use of SRS may be beneficial in appropriately selected cases of Koos-IV VS. Moreover, further prospective studies directly comparing SRS with surgery are necessary to determine the optimal treatment for lar...

Objective Neurophysiological Indices for the Assessment of Chronic Tinnitus Based on EEG Microstate Parameters
This study reflected specific changes in the EEG microstates of tinnitus patients across multiple resting states, as well as inconsistent correlations with tinnitus symptoms. Microstate parameters were significantly different when patients were in OE and CE states. Specifically, the occurrence of Microstate A and the transition probabilities (TP) from other Microstates to A increased significantly, particularly in the CE state (32-37%, ${p}\le 0.05$ ); and both correlated positively with the tinnitus intensity. Nevertheless, under the OECEm state, increases were mainly observed in the duration, coverage, and occurrence of ...
