Some new therapies for tinnitus employ bone-conducted sound in the high audio and ultrasonic frequencies, but there has been little previous research on sound transmission through the head at these frequencies.
At the ear, nose, and throat clinic of the Third Medical Faculty at Charles University and at the Psychiatry Department of the Institute for Further Education of Physicians in Prague, we examined 25 patients with tinnitus accompanied by psychiatric disturbances and followed them up for at least 6 months.
Several prognostic indicators of favorable outcome in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) have been proposed: an initial profound hearing loss, a down-sloping audiometric curve, advanced age, and the presence of vertigo. The latter has been disputed in the literature. The present study addressed the correlation between vertigo and outcome of ISSHL. Sixty-seven patients with […]
For assessment of safety, it is necessary to measure the maximum possible force exerted by a bone conduction device coupled to the human head.
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.
Tinnitus is a pathological event caused by abnormal stimulation of any point along the acoustic pathway. Generally it has a sharp tone accompanied by hearing impairment. Currently no widely-used standard protocol for treatment of this condition exists and vascular microthrombotic factors are considered as the main determinants. Prompted by such observations, we implemented a protocol […]
SOM, glue ear or chronic otitis media with effusion, is the commonest cause of deafness in children and the commonest reason that the children have surgery. It is characterized by the presence of fluid in the middle ear cavity for 3 months or longer with minimal constitutional symtoms. Pathogenesis appears to be multifactorial and risk […]
Dall’aprile 1992 al maggio 2001 il gruppo Impianti Cocleari di Milano ha effettuato 92 applicazioni di impianto cocleare multicanale. L’attività è avvenuta fino al 1996 nell’ambito dell’Istituto di Audiologia dell’Università degli Studi di Milano successivamente presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Otorinolaringologiche dell’Università degli Studi di Milano, Ospedale Policlinico. I candidati all’impianto sono stati sempre sottoposti […]
The Authors present results of tinnitus therapy in 5 ENT clinics and 1 neurological clinic in the Czech republic during last 5 years. Mostly are using these therapeutic methods: vasoactive drugs, Betaserc, nootropics, preparations of Ginkgo Biloba, combine preparation – Arlevert, corticoids, anestesia of ggl. Stellati and rehabilatation methods. The best results were obtained by […]
Sensorineural prelingual deafness is a major impairment because of its consequence on psychosocial and cognitive development: its early onset, in fact, prevents a normal oral language acquisition. 60% of prelingual hearing loss has a genetic origin, and its major mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive (85% of cases). In addition, prelingual deafness is well known […]
