Do disease-specific quality-of-life (QoL) outcomes following bone-anchored hearing implant (BAHI) use differ between patients with conductive/mixed hearing loss (CHL) and those with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (U-SNHL)?
Moderate or Greater Hearing Loss in Older Adults Associated with Functional Difficulties
How are hearing loss and hearing aids associated with functional status?
Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Effective in the Treatment of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss?
Randomized controlled trials with standardized hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment protocols and attention to social determinants of health and other confounders are desperately needed to establish efficacy.
Genetic Testing Is Appropriate for Some Pediatric Patients with Unilateral Hearing Loss or Single-Sided Deafness
Genetic testing should be considered when the most common nongenetic causes (congenital cytomegalovirus, negative imaging for structural inner ear, or cochlear nerve abnormality) are ruled out as subtle phenotypic manifestations of syndromic hearing loss.
Age-Related Hearing Loss Is Associated with Incident Dementia in Adults Over 60
Is age-related hearing loss (HL) a risk factor for incident dementia? BOTTOM LINE HL diagnosis was independently associated with incident dementia when compared with no HL diagnosis, and individuals with a […]
Is Cochlear Implantation Effective for Auditory Rehabilitation Following Vestibular Schwannoma Treatment?
Hearing loss in patients with vestibular schwannoma, both before and after treatment, is known to negatively impact quality of life.
Hearing Loss: A Modifiable Risk Factor for Dementia
Diagnosing and addressing hearing loss, particularly in midlife, can help ameliorate the increased risk of dementia associated with the hearing loss.
New Imaging Techniques and Therapeutics May One Day Help Researchers Solve Hearing Loss
New imaging techniques using nanotechnology, as well as research advances in pharmaceutical treatments, may mean a wide range of solutions for hearing loss are within sight.
When Should Adults with Bilateral Hearing Loss Be Referred for Cochlear Implant Evaluation?
Many patients who would likely benefit from implantation are never referred due to poor regional access, and, perhaps most importantly, lack of established CIE referral guidelines.
Cognitive Screening at Otolaryngology Practices: Good Idea or Waste of Time?
As evidence linking hearing loss to cognitive decline mounts, researchers and clinicians are starting to explore whether automated, self-administered cognitive screening tests should be added to routine workups of patients seen in busy otolaryngology practices.
