Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, idiopathic, relapsing, inflammatory of the gastrointestinal system, which includes two different diseases, namely ulcerative colitis (UC), and Crohn's (CD). Inner ear involvement IBD, causes sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) acute bilateral arises in short period weeks to months active disease.
 Methods: The present study include...

Background and Objectives Middle ear implants (MEI) have been reported to be an effective safe alternative for the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) conductive (CHL). This study aimed compare functional outcomes between SNHL CHL in terms audiological gains.Subjects Method The medical records 14 consecutive patients who underwent MEI surgeries from 2015 2019 by a single surgeon were...

patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, 791 infants were recruited via non-random sampling. demographic and clinical characteristics of the subjects were gathered, and the automated auditory brainstem response (aabr) test was performed upon admission. afterwards, the subjects were followed-up and re-assessed, using the aabr test. for infants with abnormal aabr results, the auditory ...

OBJECTIVE In an attempt to investigate the presence of hearing loss in primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) patients and to determine the factors that might be involved in its pathogenesis, we prospectively evaluated 45 female SS patients with a mean age of 56.8 +/- 9.23 years and a mean disease duration of 8.32 +/- 5.39 years. METHODS Forty patients underwent a complete ear-nose-throat physical e...

Verbal communication in noisy backgrounds is challenging. Understanding speech in background noise that fluctuates in intensity over time is particularly difficult for hearing-impaired listeners with a sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The reduction in fast-acting cochlear compression associated with SNHL exaggerates the perceived fluctuations in intensity in amplitude-modulated sounds. SNHL-i...

The incidence of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) increased gradually in the past decades. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, as an important part of preimplantation evaluation for children with SNHL, could provide the detailed information about the inner ear, the vestibulocochlear nerve, and the brain, so as to select suitable candidate for cochlea...

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of intratympanic dexamethasone injections as a treatment for severe tinnitus in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). We studied 37 patients who received intratympanic dexamethasone injections and 14 control patients who did not receive it, with severe tinnitus after onset of unilateral sudden SNHL. Hearing level did not chan...

The genetic nature of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) has so far been studied for many ethnic groups in various parts of the world. The single-nucleotide guanine deletion (35delG) of the GJB2 gene coding for connexin 26 was shown to be the main genetic cause of autosomal recessive deafness among Europeans. Here we present the results of the first study of GJB2 and three mitochondrial mutation...

Background: The process of aging is associated with degenerative changes in all parts of the human body including the neural and sensory aspect of the ear. Hearing loss is one of the disabling diseases found common in elderly patients due to these degenerative changes. Objective: To determine the prevalence and common causes of sensorineural hearing loss in the elderly. Materials and Method: Al...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to develop a statistical model for prediction of radiation induced sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) induced by radiotherapy in patients with brain tumors.   Materials and Methods: CT scan of 18 patients (10 males and 8 females) with brain tumor who were referred to Radiation Center of Milad Hospital in Isfahan in 2...
