[Binaural cochlear implant--good choice in the treatment of deep sensorinural hearing loss].

Unlabelled: Nowadays. cochelar implant is the only choice of treatment in deep bilateral deafness.

Aim: To evaluate the benefits of binaural implantation of a single receiver-stimulator device by using audiometric tests at 3 and 6 months intervals.

[Peripheral vestibular syndrome intricated pathogenic issues. A case report].

Background: Ménière's syndrome appears to be the final common pathway of the mechanisms the inner ear responds to almost any injury. Although the autoimmune disease seems to play a major role, exposure to intense noise can also be a trigger in the appearance and/or aggravation of the disease.

Material And Methods: The case of 41 years old musician with a history of ankylosing spondylitis, diagnosed with Ménière's syndrome 5 years ago, is presented.

[Seven years of cochlear implant at the ENT Clinic of "Recuperare" Hospital Iaşi].

[Laser Doppler vibrometry: a new tool for diagnosing hearing loss with an intact eardrum].

The diagnosis of hearing loss with an intact eardrum frequently requires an entire battery of hearing tests, without the guarantee of an exact diagnosis. The techniques frequently provide only orientation for it, without establishing the site of the lesion and the etiology of the hearing loss. Laser Doppler vibrometry is a new technique, which has recently proved capable, of partially resolving this problem.

[Experience of the ENT clinic--rehabilitation hospital of Iaşi in the diagnosis of hearing loss in children between 1 and 5 years of age].

The aim of this study is to asses the average age of diagnosis of congenital hearing loss in children up to 5 years old. A group of 48 children aged between 1-5 years old were admitted in our clinic in 2005 because of hearing impairment, noticed in most cases by their parents. All cases were investigated in our clinic by transient evoked oto-acoustic emission test, threshold auditory brainstem response, impedance-metry and, whenever possible, audiometry.
