Auditory evoked brainstem responses and medial olivocochlear efferent system in migraine patients with phonophobia.

Objective: This study aims to investigate Auditory Evoked Brainstem Responses (ABR) and Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission (DPOAE) suppression in migraine patients with and without phonophobia.

Methods: Thirty-two migraine patients with normal hearing and 30 healthy individuals were included in the study. Migraine characteristics and phonophobia status of migraine patients were noted.

The Role of Hearing Aids in Improving Dual-Task Gait Performance in Older Adults With Presbycusis: A Cognitive and Motor Analysis.

Background: Cognitive decline is a common challenge faced by older individuals with presbycusis; their performance on dual-task (DT) activities is generally lower compared to those without hearing loss. However, the influence of hearing aids on nonauditory cognitive decline in this population remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the effect of hearing aids on nonauditory DT performance in older adults with presbycusis.

Predicting noise-induced hearing loss with machine learning: the influence of tinnitus as a predictive factor.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine which machine learning model is most suitable for predicting noise-induced hearing loss and the effect of tinnitus on the models' accuracy.

Methods: Two hundred workers employed in a metal industry were selected for this study and tested using pure tone audiometry. Their occupational exposure histories were collected, analysed and used to create a dataset.

The Effect of Repositioning Maneuver Applied with the TRV Chair on Residual Dizziness after Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of TRV chair on residual dizziness (RD) after idiopathic posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) successfully treated with canalith repositioning maneuver (CRM).

Study Design: Prospective case-control study.

Setting: Hospital.

Sound energy absorbance changes in the elderly with presbycusis with normal outer and middle ear.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the wideband tympanometry (WBT) findings in the elderly with presbycusis who have normal outer and middle ears according to otoscopic examination and traditional tympanometry, and to determine whether there is a relationship between the middle ear wideband absorbance value and the pure tone air-bone gap (ABG) observed especially at mid-high frequencies in the elderly.

Methods: The study included 30 elderly with presbycusis (> 65 years old, presbycusis group) and 30 healthy individuals (control group) between the ages of 18 and 55. Pure tone air conduction and bone conduction thresholds of all participants were determined and WBT was applied to all participants.

Chronic Noise Affects Middle Ear Resonance and Absorbance in Industrial Workers.

Background: The effect of chronic noise on the middle ear is not fully known. This study aimed to evaluate the middle ear functions of metal workers exposed to chronic noise using wideband tympanometry.

Methods: In this study, 62 male workers exposed to chronic noise and 30 healthy men were included.

Effectiveness of hearing protection apparatus in preventing noise induced vestibular loss.

Hearing protection apparatus (HPAs) are frequently used to prevent the detrimental effect of noise on the hearing system. However, it is not known exactly whether wearing HPAs in workers protects the vestibular system. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of wearing HPAs in preventing vestibular loss caused by noise.

There is no evidence of cochlear and vestibular melanocyte damage in patients with alopecia areata.

Purpose: Follicular melanocytes are known to be damaged in alopecia areata (AA). However, it is not clear whether melanocytes are the primary target of autoimmunity and whether melanocytes in the inner ear are affected. This study aimed to detect possible cochlear and/or vestibular melanocyte damage in AA patients.

Dual-task performance and vestibular functions in individuals with noise induced hearing loss.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the vestibular functions and dual-task performances of individuals with noise induced hearing loss.

Materials And Methods: Fifty individuals with noise induced hearing loss and 25 healthy individuals were included in the study. Individuals with noise induced hearing loss were divided into 2 groups according to the pure tone average.

Investigation of hearing and outer hair cell function of the cochlea in patients with vitiligo.

Vitiligo is a systemic disease that affects not only the skin but also other areas that contain melanocytes, such as the inner ear. Studies of the effect of vitiligo on hearing loss have shown inconsistent results, and it is not clear which parameters related to the disease affect hearing. The aim of this study was to determine which disease-related parameters trigger damage to cochlear melanocytes in vitiligo patients and the effect of vitiligo on the outer hair cells and hearing.

Evaluation of audiovestibular system in psoriasis patients without joint involvement.

Inner ear involvement may occur in systemic autoimmune diseases. Although there are studies evaluating hearing in psoriasis patients, its effect on the balance system is not clear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the audiovestibular system in psoriasis patients without joint involvement.

Potential Risk of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo Due To Traumatic Effect of Osteotomy in Septorhinoplasty Patients.

Purpose: We investigated the effect of osteotomy on the vestibular system in septorhinoplasty patients and determined the potential risk of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in these patients.

Patients And Methods: In the present prospective study, 47 primary septorhinoplasty patients were evaluated as the study group and 50 septoplasty patients as the control group. Osteotomy was performed in all septorhinoplasty patients.

Vestibular functions in patients with tinnitus only.

Objective: Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ears or head without any external or internal acoustic stimulation, and it is usually associated with hearing loss. In addition, it has been reported that there is a relationship between vestibular problems and sensorineural hearing loss. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vestibular function in patients with tinnitus without hearing loss.

Assessment of balance skills and falling risk in children with congenital bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss.

Objective: To evaluate the balance skills and falling risk in children with a congenital bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss (CBPSNHL).

Methods: 25 children with CBPSNHL and healthy 25 children with similar age and gender were included in the study. The flamingo balance test, the tandem stance test, and the one-leg standing test were performed to assess the patients' static balance skills.

Evaluation of vestibular system with vHIT in industrial workers with noise-induced hearing loss.

Purpose: Industrial workers are frequently exposed to noise and the noise can cause hearing loss. The relationship between vestibular abnormalities and long-term exposure to occupational noise has been reported. The aim of this study was to use vHIT (video head impulse test) to evaluate the semicircular canal's function in industrial workers with noise-induced hearing loss.
