Otitis media (OM), inflammation of the middle ear, is a common cause of hearing loss in children and in patients with many different syndromic diseases. Studies of the human population and mouse models have revealed that OM is a multifactorial disease with many environmental and genetic contributing
The aim of the present study was to determine the degree of hearing impairment caused by tympanosclerosis of the eardrum as a result of grommet insertion. During the period 1977 to 1978 we treated 146 children who had bilateral secretory otitis with adenoidectomy, insertion of a ventilation tube on
The present study included the examination and surgical treatment of 50 adult patients presenting with tympanosclerotic fixation of the stirrup. The patients comprising the first subgroup (n=25) underwent the two-stage treatment during the period from 1990 to 2009. The final phase of the treatment
BACKGROUND
Postoperative complications of myringotomy and tube placement often include otorrhea, tympanosclerosis, and tympanic membrane perforation. However, the incidence of sensorineural or conductive hearing loss has not been documented. Recent efforts to curb the use of preoperative audiometric
Otitis media is an inflammation of the middle ear cleft, with or without intact tympanic membrane. Otitis media is known to be one of the most common childhood infections. Middle ear effusions have been recognized to grab increasing attention because of the problems they pose in both the diagnosis
OBJECTIVE
To study the general incidence of tympanosclerosis among patients with chronic suppurative otitis media(CSOM), and to explore the type of hearing loss and the relationship between the hearing loss and the degree and site of tympanosclerosis in CSOM patients.
METHODS
One hundred and one
Tympanosclerosis is a scarring process with a remarkable variability in its localization within the middle ear. It can lead to conductive hearing loss in many cases. It is usually caused by recurrent chronic inflammation of the middle ear. It is generally accepted that functionally relevant
OBJECTIVE
To explore the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and surgical management of tympanosclerosis.
METHODS
The data of 73 patients who underwent surgery for tympanosclerosis were retrospectively analyzed with respects to the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and
Abstract Usage of the Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) with round window (RW)-Coupler placement at the RW has been shown to successfully treat mixed hearing loss. Coupling between the VSB's floating mass transducer (FMT) and the RW membrane is difficult in the case of sclerosis in the RW and drilling down
In tympanoplasty, trauma to the cochlea is usually caused by the transmission of vibration induced during the removal of cholesteatoma, granulation tissue, and tympanosclerosis surrounding the ossicular chain. In 100 sequential cases 20 showed evidence of cochlear trauma. Hearing was recovered in 10
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a direct acoustic cochlear implant (DACI) for speech understanding in noise in patients suffering from severe to profound mixed hearing loss (MHL) due to various etiologies compared to the preoperative best-aided condition. The study was
Intact Eustachian tube and tympanic cavity functions are essential for normal middle ear physiology. Type II collagen is an essential component of ear tissue. Autoimmune response to this type II collagen produces sensorineural hearing loss, vestibular dysfunction, endolymphatic hydrops,
: Tympanosclerosis in the middle ear space is common in Ethiopia and often involves the ossicles and particularly the stapes. Ear operations in Ethiopia are relatively expensive in this country of limited medical resources and a low average living wage. In this setting, 2-stage operations using
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to show detectability of tympanosclerotic plaques with computed tomography (CT) which has an important role in the evaluation of temporal bone.
METHODS
Our study group included 19 tympanoplasty cases (12 females, 7 males; mean age 31 years; range 12 to 57 years)
