Sequential sound therapy, which uses wide-band white noise distinguished by some unique characteristics, is applied in the treatment of tinnitus. The methodology is described, as are the differences from and similarities to tinnitus retraining therapy. We have performed sequential sound therapy in 26 patients from 2002 through part of 2003. Thirty-eight generators of sounds were […]
The tinnitus can be functionally measured and localized through sensorymotor and neurosensorial tests, then there arises a great demand for a systematic pharmacological treatment. These tests indicate the numerous and different locations of the symptom, and enable us to prove that in around 24% of the patients, tinnitus has a peripheral origin, in 35% it […]
Automatic ABR was introduced into Japan in 1997, and Universal Newborn Hearing Screening of a newborn infant term was enabled. The model research study of hearing screening in Japan was started 2001, and Saitama Prefecture was started the inspection research from October 2002. Many newborn babies started received hearing screening from 1999 in our medical […]
This cross-sectional study was designed to determine the prevalence of carotid artery atherosclerosis in patients with pulsatile tinnitus. All patients who had pulsatile tinnitus and presented to the otolaryngology clinic of Rasoul Akram Hospital, Iran University of Medical Sciences, and to some other private hospitals and clinics were referred to a tertiary referral center. From […]
Programming of the speech-processors in children provided with Cochlear Implant causes sometimes problems, especially in very small children. This becomes important at this time as the implantation-age of the children decreases continuously. With Neural Response Telemetry (NRT) stands for the Nucleus ® 24 Cochlear Implant system a new principle of programming of the speech processor […]
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.
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 […]
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.
The results of the use of clarion implants in 30 Indian patients have been evaluated. Cases included in the study were prelingual & postlingual patients where the cochlea was normal and prelingual patients where the cochlea had a Mondini defect or was ossified. It was found that multiple speech strategies available with the Clarion implant […]
It has long been suspected that an important relationship exists between inner and outer hair cells, and that a disturbance of this relationship could lead to the phenomenon of tinnitus. The electromodel of the auditory system describes one mechanism of this inter-hair cell relationship. Following this model a mechanism exists, driven by mechanosensitive outer hair […]
