2. A tuning fork test is used to assess the type of hearing loss, whereas a pure tone audiometry (PTA) should be done to confirm and document the type and severity of the HL. In this case, PTA was consistent with profound right HL and severe-toprofound left HL, with features of mixed HL in at least in one ear (Figure 2). In this PTA, bone conduction had only been done on the left ear as the pat...

Since the 1980's, various types of implantable hearing aids using unique means for delivering acoustic power to the inner ear have been developed. Recently, implantable hearing aids that stimulate the round window by the middle ear transducer have received great attention because it reduces loading effect at the ossicular chain. In this study, we have implemented a direct install 3-pole type EM...

Maize is one of the most important crops, both worldwide and in Romania, preserving diversity biological material used breeding this plant particular importance. The Agricultural Research Development Station (ARDS) Turda, inbred lines collection includes its own genotypes some obtained as a result germplasm exchanges with other institutions country or abroad. In present study, 575 created at Tu...

Enhanced active resonant (EAR) DC circuit breakers (DCCBs) are a novel type of DCCB that use discharge closing switch as interruption medium. A technical limitation switches is the minimum voltage across main gap required for successful triggering. commutation process creating internally proposed, which allows to simplify EAR configuration and reduce its component count. In prototype, implement...

Introduction: Otitis externa (OE) Circumcrypt is an inflammation accompanied by furuncle growth in the outer ear with or without infection. OE events are identified swimmers other names Swimmer's Ear, because their ears moist. cases can be distinguished based on duration of action, namely acute chronic.
 Case Reports: A 21-year-old male patient came complaints pain ear, previously also fel...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Otoacoustic emissions have frequently been used for newborn hearing screening. However, they have low specificities and high referral rates. The presence of amniotic fluid in the middle ear is one reason for these problems. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of human amniotic fluid on otoacoustic emissions and on middle-ear function. METHODS Forty-six chi...

Mammalian inner ear harbors diverse cell types that are essential for hearing and balance. Adenovirus is one of the major vectors to deliver genes into the inner ear for functional studies and hair cell regeneration. To identify adenovirus vectors that target specific cell subtypes in the inner ear, we studied three adenovirus vectors, carrying a reporter gene encoding green fluorescent protein...

BACKGROUND When presented with different sounds in each ear (dichotic listening), healthy subjects typically show a preference for stimuli heard in the right ear, an effect termed "right ear advantage". Previous studies examining right ear advantage in schizophrenia have been inconsistent, showing either decreased or increased advantage relative to comparison subjects. Given evidence for enhanc...

BACKGROUND Allergic rhinitis affects 10-40% of the population globally with a substantial health and economic impact on the community. OBJECTIVE OF REVIEW To assess the effectiveness and safety of ear-acupuncture or ear-acupressure for the treatment of allergic rhinitis by reviewing randomised controlled trials and quasi-randomised controlled trials. TYPE OF REVIEW This review followed the ...
