conclusions the assr can accurately predict the degree and configuration of hearing loss and discriminate the normal hearing from mild or moderate hearing loss and mild from moderate hearing loss, except for 500 hz. the air-conducted assr could not define the type of hearing loss. results the assr accurately estimates the behavioral thresholds as well as flat and sloping configurations. there w...

BACKGROUND Postoperative complications of myringotomy and tube placement often include otorrhea, tympanosclerosis, and tympanic membrane perforation. However, the incidence of sensorineural or conductive hearing loss has not been documented. Recent efforts to curb the use of preoperative audiometric testing requires documentation of this incidence. OBJECTIVE To define the incidence of conduct...

A prospective study on hearing loss in children with minor head injury was done because previous studies have indicated that a relatively high incidence of sensorineural hearing loss follows head injury. Forty patients aged 6-16 years, who had sustained loss of consciousness from head injury were interviewed and examined and compared with a control group. Most of the patients sustained frontal ...

1. Review the patterns of hearing loss in hereditary hearing impairment. AL First, we must understand that genetic hearing loss seems to breach all categories of hearing loss, including the following: congenital, progressive, and adult onset; conductive, sensory, and neural; syndromic and nonsyndromic; high-frequency, low-frequency, or mixed frequency; and mild or profound. Genetic hearing loss...

Patients with chronic renal failure may develop sensorineural hearing loss. Cochlear implantation has rarely done after organ transplantation. Herein, we report on a 33-year-old kidney transplantation recipient who underwent cochlear implantation for her progressive sensorineural hearing loss in Khalili Hospital Cochlear Implant Center, affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The i...

New developments in diagnosis aid in the treatment and have improved the outlook for those patients with sensorineural hearing loss. Not all such hearing loss is untreatable and it should be approached systematically and enthusiastically. Thorough evaluation should be performed in all patients.

OBJECTIVE Magnetic resonance imaging is a routine investigation in cases of asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss, but it is not routinely used to investigate bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. METHOD This case report illustrates the benefits of magnetic resonance image scanning in the latter patient group. RESULTS A 53-year-old man with rapidly progressive, symmetrical, bilateral, senso...

Introduction: Hearing loss is one of the most common problems in elderly people. Functional side effects of hearing loss are various. Due to the fact that hearing loss is the common impairment in elderly people; the importance of its possible effects on auditory memory is undeniable. This study aims to focus on the hearing loss effects on auditory memory.   Materials and Methods: Dichotic Audi...

introduction: hearing loss from birth up to the age of 3 years has a negative effect on speech/language development and results in sensory, cognitive, emotional, and academic defects in adulthood by causing delayed development of communicative-linguistic abilities. the present study was performed in order to assess the effect of early intervention on language development in persian children age...
