The cranial shifting of body fluids developing in microgravity can be modelled by –300 head-down tilt body position (antiorthostatic posture) on Earth. Authors examined a group of 13 healthy voluntary young men in antiorthostatic posture and recorded the alteration of parameters in complex examinations. Among them pure tone threshold and speech threshold examinations were carried […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
