During the last half century, medical developments have expedited an increase of expectation of life, all over the world. This extension of life has made that some pathologies that in former years were considered of low prevalence, nowadays they have become top priority for public health.
The aim of this study was to highlight the clinical characteristics of tinnitus and to attempt a quantitative assessment in relation to any underlying etiologies. We undertook to study a population of 123 patients attending a tinnitus clinic between 1998 and 2000.
INTRODUCTION: Tinnnitus is a real therapeutical emergency for ENT clinicians, one of the biggest problem is to have the opportunity to start giving drugs as soon as possible; we started from a few mounths a new kind of e.v. therapy and we realyzed that it gives good results in an unbilivable percentage of cases and […]
It’s well known that the accurate localization of the source where subjective tinnitus comes from is very difficult. The anamnesis and the traditional audiological tests can often suggest if its origin is peripheral and/or central only. Therefore several Authors, as Risey, Denk and Shulman, have recently proposed picking out the source of subjective tinnitus through […]
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 […]
