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.
New Genetic Cause of Hearing Loss Illuminates How the Inner Ear Works
Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn Medicine) in Philadelphia have discovered that the gene GAS2 plays a key role in normal hearing in both mice and humans, and that its absence causes severe hearing loss, according to a new study published in Developmental Cell and led by (Dev. […]
Men with Hearing Loss are More Likely to Be Obese
Men who suffer sensory loss, particularly hearing loss, are more likely to be physically inactive and obese than women, according to a new study published in the European Journal of Public Health (doi:10.1093/eurpub/ckab077). In the report “Gender differences in the association between physical activity and obesity in adults with vision and hearing losses,” researchers from […]
Do Antivirals Improve Hearing Outcomes in Neonates with Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection?
Antiviral treatment is associated with improved hearing outcomes in neonates presenting with cCMV and symptomatic central nervous system involvement.
How Otolaryngologists Can Support Patients with Hearing Loss During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Otolaryngologists can help their hard-of-hearing patients navigate additional challenges during the COVID-19 pandmic, including worsened communication and difficulties accessing healthcare.
No Correlation Between IAC Diverticula Presence/Size and Degree of Hearing Loss
A look at the relationship between hearing loss and internal auditory canal (IAC) diverticula.
Audiologists Miss Many Candidates for Cochlear Implants
Many adult patients who are good candidates for cochlear implants are missed because of significant variation among audiologists in how patients are preoperatively assessed and unfamiliarity with the most current criteria for identifying patients, a new survey reports. The survey included responses from 92 US audiologists and the results show a wide variability in their […]
