BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES A recent study demonstrated that tinnitus could be eliminated by vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with notched sounds in a rat tinnitus model. The aims of this clinical study were to investigate the effects and safety of transcutaneous VNS (tVNS) by patch-type electrode paired with notched music for treating chronic tinnitus. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Thirty patients ...

OBJECTIVES This study aims to compare the treatment efficacy of middle turbinate lateral lamella resection alone with septoplasty plus middle turbinate lateral lamella resection for nasal stuffiness in two patient groups using the nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (NOSE) scale in patients with concomitant minimal nasal septum deviation and concha bullosa. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 80...

This study aimed to describe the imaging aspects of a concha bullosa discovered incidentally by means cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. A female patient underwent CBCT exam, and bilateral extensive pneumatization middle was verified, presenting larger dimension right side deviated septum. The reported nasal obstruction loss smell. for covering maxillofacial region allowed discovery ...

It has been suggested that the first spectral peak and the first two spectral notches of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) are cues for sound localization in the median plane. Therefore, to examine the mechanism for generating spectral peaks and notches, HRTFs were calculated from four head shapes using the finite-difference time-domain method. The comparison between HRTFs calculated from...
