Preliminary results of auditory brainstem implantation in prelingually deaf children with inner ear malformations including severe stenosis of the cochlear aperture and aplasia of the cochlear nerve.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study is to present the results of 11 children where auditory brainstem implantation (ABI) was successfully performed to restore hearing. STUDY DESIGN: Case presentation. This study was conducted at the departments of ... Read more...

Individual differences in the permeability of the round window: evaluating the movement of intratympanic gadolinium into the inner ear.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: Many recent studies have reported on intratympanic gentamicin therapy for the treatment of intractable Ménière's disease. Intratympanic administration of steroids has also been used to treat sudden sensorineural hearing loss. These ... Read more...

Analysis of cochlear protein profiles of Wistar, Sprague-Dawley, and Fischer 344 rats with normal hearing function.

29 Jun 2009 Differences in the expression of cochlear proteins are likely to affect the susceptibility of different animal models to specific types of auditory pathology. However, little is currently known about proteins that are abundantly expressed in inner ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Ear, Inner'

Definition: The essential part of the hearing organ consists of two labyrinthine compartments: the bony labyrinthine and the membranous labyrinth. The bony labyrinth is a complex of three interconnecting cavities or spaces (COCHLEA; VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH; and SEMICIRCULAR CANALS) in the TEMPORAL BONE. Within the bony labyrinth lies the membranous labyrinth which is a complex of sacs and tubules (COCHLEAR DUCT; SACCULE AND UTRICLE; and SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS) forming a continuous space enclosed by EPITHELIUM and connective tissue. These spaces are filled with LABYRINTHINE FLUIDS of various compositions.
