Delineating the hearing loss in children with enlarged vestibular aqueduct.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS: To explore the clinical characteristics and audiologic outcomes in children with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA). STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study in a pediatric tertiary care facility. METHODS: A total of 54 cases (82 ... Read more...

Phenotype/genotype correlations in a DFNB1 cohort with ethnical diversity.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to 1) determine the prevalence of DFNB1 in a cohort of children with prelingual nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss (HL), 2) study phenotype/genotype correlations, and 3) establish guidelines for ... Read more...

Saccular damage in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss without vertigo.

29 Sep 2008 OBJECTIVE: Saccule could be damaged in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) with vertigo and with high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss. Thus, the saccule might be deteriorated subclinically in ISSHL cases without ... Read more...
