Bilateral tinnitus due to middle-ear myoclonus

Tinnitus is a common otological symptom. Usually it is subjective (perceived only by the patient); very rarely is it objective (heard by both the patient and the examiner). Objective tinnitus due to middle-ear myoclonus is extremely rare, with only a few case reports published in the literature. We present three cases of objective tinnitus caused […]


The use of enoxaparin for the treatment of tinnitus.

Microthrombotic vascular lesions could be the primary or secondary cause but, however, in most of the cases are at the base of the lesions of tinnitus. On those bases we consider that a therapy with enoxaparine has a wide field of action. Two hundred cases of patients, who had suffered from tinnitus for at least […]


Tinnitus neurotopography: pathways and areas studied through brain electric tomography (loreta)

Advances in basic research in neurosciences and the introduction of new non-invasive techniques, that make possible the detection of weak signals of the brain, have revolutionized diagnosis and treatment. The most often used methods for functional imaging of the human brain are positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). More recently, a […]


Relation of hyperacusis in sensorineural tinnitus patients with normal audiological assessment

Hyperacusis is mainly a consequence of the noise level in the twenty-first century, owing to dramatic changes in people’s lifestyles. Of every 100 people with otological complaints (e.g., tinnitus and hyperacusis), 20 are affected by hyperacusis. Because of its high incidence, this symptom has long been the subject of investigation.Nine patients (eight female, one male) […]


Auditory evoked brainstem responses in patients with cronic hypozincemia: a clinical study.

Some authors have postulate that sistemic zinc can be employed in the threatment of tinnitus, because a sub-clinical hypozincemia is suposed to promote this auditory disturbance. However, in the majority of the cases of tinnitus, this hypozincemia was not confirmed. There is not enough randomized studies that could show the relationship between zinc and tinnitus. […]


Audiological screening in a group of portuguese adolescents: the role of leisure noises

Aim of study: Hearing loss caused by exposure to recreational noise is considered a devastating disability, not least because it is virtually 100 percent preventable. No consensus exists regarding the magnitude of the risk. This study prospectively assesses the hearing threshold in a group of Portuguese adolescents, related to their habits of noise exposure. Method: […]


Relationship of tinnitus questionnaires to depressive symptoms, quality of well-being, and internal focus

Twenty percent of people endure tinnitus to a degree that their quality of well-being and productivity in life are impaired, and up to 60% report depression. Four measures are widely used to assess tinnitus-related distress, yet the relationship among all four measures or their relationship to relevant psychiatric variables has yet to be studied. This […]


Weiterenwicklung des teilimplantierbaren luftleitungshörsystems retrox

Das RetroX Hörsystem (CE-Kennzeichnung in 2000, FDA-Zulassung in 2002) ist ein teilimplantierbares Luftleitungshörsystem für eine ohroffene Hörver-sorgung (1). Mit diesem Hörsystem können alle Außenohreffekte wie die Gehörgangsresonanz und die Richtungseffekte erhalten werden. Eine Okklusion des Ohres wird vermieden. Das Hörsystem ist besonders geeignet für die Behandlung eines Patienten mit einer Hochtonschwerhörigkeit. Der Schlüssel für die […]


Plasticicy of cochlear nuclei following unilateral deafness due to cochlear ablation.

The auditory system has been the subject on studies of its capability to develop plastic responses to different kinds of lesions. Regeneration has been observed in the peripheral portions of the system, with neogenesis of hair cells in avians, sometimes followed by functional rehabilitation, with electrophysiological confirmation. It has been also noticed the ocurrence of […]


Rastreio auditivo em recém-nascidos de risco. Revisão casuística

Introdução: O diagnóstico precoce de surdez infantil é um requisito essencial para uma correcção apropriada da hipoacusia. Até recentemente o rastreio auditivo baseava-se exclusivamente na avaliação dos Potenciais Evocados Auditivos do Tronco Cerebral (PEA), um método exigente em termos técnicos, demorado e que implica frequentemente uma sedação da criança. O advento das Otoemissões Acústicas (OEA), […]
