(Aves, 2018)
OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of the national pneumococcal vaccination program on postmeningitis sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). MATERIALS and METHODS: Overall, 2751 patients ...
Cochlear Implantation In Neurobrucellosis
(Aves, 2016)
Background: Neurobrucellosis is a disease consisting of a wide spectrum of complications such as peripheral neuropathy, cranial nerve involvement, ataxia, meningeal irritation, paraplegia, seizures, coma, and even death. ...
Novel Pathogenic Variants Underlie Slc26A4-Related Hearing Loss In A Multiethnic Cohort
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2017)
Objectives: The genetics of sensorineural hearing loss is characterized by a high degree of heterogeneity. Despite this heterogeneity, DNA variants found within SLC26A4 have been reported to be the second most common ...
Novel Domain-Specific Pou3F4 Mutations Are Associated With X-Linked Deafness: Examples From Different Populations
(2015)
Background Mutations in the POU3F4 gene cause X-linked deafness type 3 (DFN3), which is characterized by inner ear anomalies. Methods Three Turkish, one Ecuadorian, and one Nigerian families were included based on either ...
Ror1 Is Essential for Proper Innervation of Auditory Hair Cells and Hearing in Humans and Mice
(Natl Acad Sciences, 2016)
Hair cells of the inner ear, the mechanosensory receptors, convert sound waves into neural signals that are passed to the brain via the auditory nerve. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms that govern the development ...
Traumatic Facial And Vestibulocochlear Nerve Injury In The Internal Acoustic Canal In The Absence Of A Temporal Bone Fracture
(Aves, 2018)
We present a rare case of traumatic facial and vestibulocochlear nerve injury in the internal acoustic canal in the absence of a temporal bone fracture. A 2.5-year-old female presented with sudden-onset left-sided facial ...

(Mediterranean Soc Otology & Audiology, 2013)
Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a syndrome characterized by increased intracranial pressure (ICP) without focal signs for neurological dysfunction except for occasional fifth, sixth, and seventh ...
Bimodal stimulation in children with inner ear malformation: One side cochlear implant and contralateral auditory brainstem implant
(Wiley, 2020-01-22)
Objective: To determine audiological outcomes of children who use a cochlear implant (CI) in one ear and an auditory brainstem implant (ABI) in the contralateral ear.
Design: Retrospective case review.
Setting: ...
Contralateral non-auditory stimulation in auditory brainstem implantation: A case report
(Elsevier, 2019)
Auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) are neuroprosthetic devices that stimulate the cochlear nuclei without any connection between the inner ear and brainstem [1,2]. The first pediatric ABI surgery was performed in 2000 on ...
