Audiometric Outcomes of Ventilation Drainage Treatment for Otitis Media with Effusion in Children: Implications for Speech Development and Hearing Loss
CONCLUSIONS Ventilation drainage is an effective treatment for otitis media with effusion. The presence of genetic disease has the greatest impact on the course of otitis media. These patients most often require reinsertion of a ventilation tube.PMID:37752698 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.941350 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)

Comparisons of Auditory and Vestibular Functions After Septorhinoplasty Performed with the Micro-compass Saw Technique and the Classical Technique
ConclusionThis is the only study in the literature to have determined vestibular effects with the evaluation of such a wide range of techniques. Previous studies in the literature have found no effect of osteotomy technique on the balance and hearing systems. The results of this study demonstrated that the preoperative and postoperative difference between the osteotomy techniques had an effect on the balance system. The change in the balance tests following an operation with classic osteotomy shows a greater predisposition to benign positional vertigo. In this sense, the micro-saw can be considered safer.Level of Evidence ...

Prospective Evaluation of the Efficacy of Isolated Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty: Short- and Medium-term Follow-up Results Based on Tubomanometry, ETDQ-7, Tympanometry, and Valsalva Maneuver
Conclusion As an isolated procedure, BET results in significant improvements in symptomatology and objective metric results. This, associated with its safety profile, currently makes BET the most indicated therapeutic option in refractory obstructive ETD. [...] Thieme Revinter Publicações Ltda.

Balloon Eustachian tuboplasty for obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction: retrospective multicentre cohort study of 248 patients
ConclusionsBET is an effective method for the treatment of OETD in all etiologic groups. The greatest benefit was observed in patients with baro-challenge. A long-term follow-up is recommended since the benefit seems to increase over time. (Source: European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology)

Ear health and hearing in urban Aboriginal children
CONCLUSIONS: Half the urban Aboriginal children in this cohort had OM and two-thirds with hearing impairment had OM.IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: Findings highlight importance of early detection and support for ear health, particularly in pre-school-aged children with risk factors.PMID:37517360 | DOI:10.1016/j.anzjph.2023.100075 (Source: Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health)
