Clinical experience with symptomatic superior canal dehiscence in a single neurotologic practice.

30 Aug 2008 OBJECTIVE: To discuss the range of signs and symptoms of patients with superior canal dehiscence syndrome identified in a single neurotologic practice. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective chart review of 35 patients diagnosed with superior canal dehiscence ... Read more...

The contribution of family history to hearing loss in an older population.

30 Jul 2008 OBJECTIVES: Although it has been well established that the prevalence of and severity of hearing loss increase with age, the contribution of familial factors to age-related hearing loss cannot be quantified. This is largely because hearing loss in ... Read more...

Distribution of hearing loss characteristics in a clinical population.

30 Jul 2008 OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to characterize a large database of audiometric records from an academic health center Audiology clinic for the purpose of determining the distributions of hearing loss configuration, severity, and site of ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Bone Conduction'

Definition: Transmission of sound waves through vibration of bones in the SKULL to the inner ear (COCHLEA). By using bone conduction stimulation and by bypassing any OUTER EAR or MIDDLE EAR abnormalities, hearing thresholds of the cochlea can be determined. Bone conduction hearing differs from normal hearing which is based on air conduction stimulation via the EAR CANAL and the TYMPANIC MEMBRANE.
