Objectives: We aimed to assess the outcomes of fat graft myringoplasty augmented with hyaluronic acid in closing large-sized eardrum perforations compared to the traditional underlay cartilage-perichondrium composite myringoplasty (CPCM).

Study Design: It was a prospective randomised comparative study.

Settings: It was held in tertiary referral institutions between May 2020 and April 2022.

Background: Visual vertigo (VV) is a condition at which there is worsening or triggering of vestibular symptoms in certain visual environments with large size (full field) repetitive or moving visual patterns as shopping malls.

Purpose: This work was designed to study effect of virtual reality and optokinetic stimulation on rehabilitation of VV.

Method: A total of 60 subjects divided into 2 groups that were simply randomized by the concealed envelope method: Group I consisted of 30 VV patients underwent vestibular rehabilitation using virtual reality.

Objectives: To determine the types and to assess the role of auditory evoked potentials and otoacoustic emissions in early detection of hearing abnormalities in Behçet's disease (BD) patients. Their correlations with disease activity were also considered.

Methods: Thirty patients with BD and thirty apparently sex- and age-matched healthy volunteers were included in this study.

Introduction: Subjects with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) report difficulties in speech understanding in noise. Speech-evoked auditory brainstem response (S-ABR) provides cues for temporal and spectral encoding of speech in the brainstem. S-ABR recording in noise increases its sensitivity in evaluating the auditory processing and related disorders.

Conclusions: Delay in ABR and CAEPs wave latencies in children with type 1DM indicates that there is abnormality in the neural conduction in DM patients. The duration of DM has greater effect on auditory function than the control of DM.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder.

Conclusion: It was found that JIR children had potential sensory neural hearing loss and vestibular affection. Therefore, this study recommends: early complete audiologic evaluation of JIA child followed by regular follow-up, including TOAEs, extended high-frequency audiometry, and VNG. This follow-up is important for preliminary diagnosis and management in order to prevent the negative impact of hearing loss on a child's life.
