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.
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.
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 […]
Different pathology of the hearing has to be rehabilitated by individual and sophisticated hearing systems. A lot of the patients suffering from a mild or middle sensoneural hearing loss have problems with their conventional hearing aids. The medical and audiological problems can often not be solved sufficiently by the technical possibilities. Also the cosmetic solutions […]
Therapy of CNS pathology and communication disordes based on auditory functions impairement could have a good therapeutic results with help of sociotherapy, somatic rehabilitation, controlling emotions and hearing stress, therapy with hearing instruments (hearing aids) and pharmacotherapy. NOOTROPICS maybe used in therapy of cerebral trauma consequence, acute intoxications, cerebral vascular incident, topical lesions of the […]
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 […]
