Connexin30 null and conditional connexin26 null mice display distinct pattern and time course of cellular degeneration in the cochlea.

18 Oct 2009 Mutations in connexin26 (Cx26) and Cx30 are the most common cause of nonsyndromic inherited deafness in humans. To understand the underlying molecular mechanisms, we investigated the pattern and time course of cellular degeneration in the cochlea of ... Read more...

A 47-year old male with a cerebellopontine angle tumor.

29 Sep 2009 A 47-year old man presented with a five-year history of fluctuating hearing impairment in the left ear. There was no tinnitus or vertigo. Imaging studies demonstrated a contrast-enhancing cerebellopontine angle mass in the left internal auditory ... Read more...

Hearing loss in civilian airline and helicopter pilots compared to air traffic control personnel.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: In order to investigate possible hearing loss as a consequence of aviation noise, a comparative analysis of audiometric data from Norwegian Air Traffic Control (ATC) personnel, airline (fixed-wing) pilots, and helicopter pilots was ... Read more...
