We carried out a retrospective survey of 25 years of clinical experience with the use of clonazepam as a vestibular and tinnitus suppressant in the pharmacological treatment of vestibular or cochleovestibular disorders due to different causes.
Pulsatile tinnitus usually means a turbulent flow within the vessels. We describe a 54-year-old man with a disabling objective pulsatile tinnitus due to a diverticulum of the sigmoid sinus toward the ipsilateral mastoid. We performed a surgical intervention via the endovascular route using coils to obliterate the diverticulum and a stent to avoid coil migration. […]
The application of slow vertex response audiometry (cortical evoked response audiometry), mainly in the diagnosis of pseudohypoacusis, is reported. This procedure is of interest in forensic audiology.
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction in whiplash injuries is usual. The author describes the mechanism of this joint dysfunction and the physiopathology of tinnitus and associated balance disorders.
This preliminary report is an account of 21 consecutive patients who had tinnitus of the severe disabling type and were examined with quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG).
Telemedicine is used as a tool for therapeutic performances with the aid of telematic. The term telematic, an abbreviation of the words telecommunication and informatic, means in general electronic transfer of digital data. An application of telemedicine in the field of audiology, the initial fitting set up and fine tuning as well as the after-care […]
The hearing disturbances including tinnitus as a result of exposure to the sounds were well known and decribed in literaute (1,2,3). But on the other side it was repoted that sounds modificate the tinnitus probably through the auditory cortical plasticity (4,5). For the first time we met Johannes Kohler in Prague, in October, 2000, during […]
In this study, we investigated the results of intratympanic dexamethasone infusion for treatment of subjective idiopathic tinnitus (SIT). Its etiopathogenesis is uncertain and frequently its origin can be connected with cochlear latent disorders, cito-neural disfunctions and sometimes central nervous system diseases. To recognize the origin of (SIT) every patient was studied by means of common […]
The paper reports about hard of hearing children who underwent cochlear implantation.
L’Impianto cocleare che ha nei sordi postverbali e nei bambini impiantati precocemente i suoi candidati ideali, deve oggi confrontarsi con un’altra categoria di pazienti, sicuramente più difficili, come gli adolescenti sordi preverbali. Per questi ultimi, la terapia riabilitativa e le performances che si possono ottenere hanno una vasta variabilità sia sotto l’aspetto quantitativo che qualitativo […]
