OBJECTIVES To determine whether implementation of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) in the state of Illinois has affected the ages at diagnosis of hearing loss and implantation in children receiving cochlear implants and to determine how often children undergoing implantation had UNHS results with no indication of hearing loss (pass). DESIGN Retrospective case review of 417 randomly ...

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare recessive heredity disease caused by DNA repair impairment characterized by photosensitivity and neurologic symptoms in half of the cases. There are eight subtypes of XP: XP-A-XP-G and XP variant. Among eight subtypes, XP complementation group A (XP-A) display the lowest DNA repair ability and the severest cutaneous and neurologic symptoms. While its pathoge...

OBJECTIVES To determine the influence of hearing loss on perception of vowel slices. METHODS Fourteen listeners aged 20-27 participated; ten (6 males) had hearing within normal limits and four (3 males) had moderate-severe sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Stimuli were six naturally-produced words consisting of the vowels /i a u æ ɛ ʌ/ in a /b V b/ context. Each word was presented as a whole...

OBJECTIVES The study objectives were to compare the rate of neural recovery and speech perception performance in children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) and children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) from other etiologies. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING Academic hospital and cochlear implant center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Ten children with ANSD were matched based...

Background: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a that accounts for almost 90% of all loss. Various factors can cause this disorder, one which diabetes mellitus (DM). However, few studies still discuss biomarkers to detect the incidence SNHL in patients with DM as early possible. The purpose paper determine potential type 2 (T2DM) patients. Methods: author uses database form PubMed, Cochrane, ...

Superficial siderosis of the CNS due to chronic, recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage is an uncommon and potentially debilitating disorder. The classic clinical manifestation is progressive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), although ataxia and pyramidal signs also are observed frequently. Cavernous malformations rarely present with subarachnoid hemorrhage. We describe an unusual case of...

Objective: To analyze the results of pure tone audiometry in terms age, sex, and type hearing loss attending hospital with complaint loss. Materials Methods: In this descriptive study, patients Benazir Bhutto complaints were included. The data analysis was done under sex unilateral/bilateral, after every case. determined as conductive, SNHL, mixed loss.Results: There 47 patients. Males 34 (72.3...

BACKGROUND Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) are prevalent disorders that occur alone or as components of complex multisystem syndromes. Multiple genetic loci have been identified that, when mutated, cause DCM or SNHL. However, the isolated coinheritance of these phenotypes has not been previously recognized. METHODS AND RESULTS Clinical evaluations of 2 kindr...
