Objectives: To investigate the preservation of residual hearing in subjects who received the
Nucleus Hybrid L24 cochlear implant. To investigate the performance benefits up to one year …

Conclusion. A high rate of hearing preservation during cochlear implantation for electric
acoustic stimulation (EAS) is possible, even when surgery is conducted by a number of different …

Autophony and the patulous Eustachian tube is a real but rare clinical entity often misdiagnosed
because the symptoms so mimic those of middle ear effusion. The diagnosis is made by …

Emphasis on hearing preservation has led to recognition of the round window membrane (RWM)
as a portal for the cochlear implant electrode array. The St Thomas’ Hospital (STH) …

The mouth, oesophagus, and anus are often involved in dystrophic and junctional epidermolysis
bullosa, but the frequency is unknown. Among 246 patients with epidermolysis bullosa, …

Objective: A systematic review to determine whether the diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic
resonance imaging scan can reliably detect residual or recurrent cholesteatoma after mastoid …

Background: Implantable middle ear hearing devices such as Vibrant Soundbridge have been
used as an alternative to conventional hearing aids for the rehabilitation of sensorineural …

Objective: To update a 15-year-old study of 800 postlinguistically deaf adult patients showing
how duration of severe to profound hearing loss, age at cochlear implantation (CI), age at …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A preoperative prediction of the 360 point insertion depth
would aid the planning of electric acoustic stimulation (EAS) implantation. The purpose of …

Conclusions: The round window membrane (RWM)-intentioned approach is superior to the
traditional bony cochleostomy (BC) approach in obtaining electrode placement within the …
