OBJECTIVES To report the prevalence and demographics of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) within a population of clinic patients and to describe the prevalence of revisited and new, previously unstudied, aural symptoms described by a sample of these patients with TMD (hereinafter "TMD patients"). DESIGN A retrospective evaluation of patient records was completed to determine the percentage and...

OBJECTIVE Wegener granulomatosis (WG) presents nasal, laryngeal and otologic symptoms as an initial signs of the disease and finally can affect the ENT region in 3/4 patients. The authors want to analyze 7 cases of WG with early aural symptoms, connected with the diagnostics dilemma, discuss the problems of otologic manifestation in WG and present the newest concepts of diagnostics and treatmen...

Air-cdre. McElligott said that he had seen more keratodermia in war-time than formerly. As often as not it was associated with non-specific urethritis, arthritis and metastatic conjunctivitis-the so-called Reiter's disease. The effect of the sulphonamides had been disappointing and hyperthermy had seemed to give the best results. He had not yet had an opportunity of trying penicillin in this co...

Aural Antennae are portable devices which translate sound impulses into vibrotactile stimulus. By swapping audio sensation for haptic sensation we illustrate one variety of artificial synesthesia. The compact devices can be worn to act as electronic travel aids for the hearing-impaired or used for augmented reality applications. Using a simple model of the audio scene’s background noise, the de...

Discrete REconfigurable Aural Matrix (DREAM) is a multi-speaker array technology designed for sonifying spatial visual data using human anterior discrete spatial aural perception potential. DREAM treats each individual speaker as an aural counterpart to a pixel or a pixel cluster of an anterior visual display surface, such as an LCD screen. The pilot study was conducted to assess DREAM’s abilit...
