Enhancing Speech Perception with Middle Ear Implants

2025-04-28 - 2025-04

Research demonstrates that incorporating a notch filter in the sound preprocessing of active middle ear implants significantly improves speech perception for users, particularly in noisy environments.

Preventing Cisplatin-Induced Hearing Loss

2025-04-25 - 2025-04

A systematic review published in Otology & Neurotology highlights effective strategies to mitigate hearing loss caused by cisplatin chemotherapy in adults. The study emphasizes the importance of early intervention and protective agents to preserve auditory function during cancer treatment.

New Tinnitus Guideline Offers Recommendations to Improve Patient Care

2025-04-19 - 2025-04

Tinnitus, defined by the perception of sounds such as buzzing or ringing in the absence of external noise, is particularly common in veterans due to military exposures to loud noises and chemicals. Although the majority of those with tinnitus aren’t bothered by it, the condition can be associated with insomnia, depression, anxiety, and reduced quality of life, noted a guideline based on a systematic review.

Impact of Intratympanic Gentamicin on Cochlear Implant Outcomes

2025-04-17 - 2025-04

Intratympanic gentamicin (ITG) instillation is a therapeutic option in advanced Menière’s disease (MD) to control vertigo. ITG aims to induce vestibular hypofunction by selective ablation of vestibular hair cells. However, it may also adversely affect cochlear hair cells and the neural auditory pathway. Preservation of the neural auditory pathway is critical, as today cochlear implantation (CI) is the gold standard for auditory rehabilitation in patients with MD. This study assesses the impact of prior ITG treatment on CI outcomes in patients with MD.
