Caroverine a quinoxaline derivative, with glutamate antagonistic activity was used for cochlear synaptic tinnitus. A pilot study was done first in 4 cases at our centre. Two cases with pure cochlear synaptic tinnitus responded well to Caroverine while other two cases had tinnitus due to middle ear pathology and did not respond. Encouraged by these […]
Objective/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of hydroxyethyl starch (HES 200) in the treatment of sudden deafness of vascular origin, and compare it with that of dextran 40. Study Design: Prospective study Methods: Ten patients with sudden deafness of vascular origin undergoing HES 200 therapy with the treatment program as […]
Objective: This work intends to find hearing loss or audiometric shifts in a group of telemarketing operators.
An uncommon cause of otalgia is geniculate neuralgia. In its most typical form it is characterized by severe paroxysmal neuralgic pain centered directly in the ear. The pain may be of a gradual onset and of a dull, persistent nature, with occasional sharp, stabbing pain. When the pain becomes intractable, an operation to surgically excise […]
Objective/Hypothesis: This study aims to analyze which division of vestibular nerve in the internal auditory canal is responsible for inducing vertigo in patients with herpes zoster oticus (HZO). Methods: Eight patients (three men and five women) suffered from auricular vesicles, otalgia, and facial palsy, and five of them accompanied by vertigo. Each patient received a […]
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 […]
The goal of this assay is to establish if sound intensity is too high in the practice of odontology and if a group of dentists know and protect themselves from noise induced hearing loss.
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 […]
The AIM of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of Betaserc – 16 and 8 mg on the patients (workers in the system of transport), with vascular auditory and vestibular disturbances.
Science is not only a side activity for a physician in the field of neurootology diagnosing and treating patients suffering from vertigo, nausea, tinnitus, hearing loss etc.. In every case he has to realize an idea about the disease and the neurosensorial failures in the background of the disorders. Physical measurements, mathematical models of evaluation […]
