Prevalence and Clinical Characteristics of Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) in South Indian Population: A Preliminary Cross-Sectional Study.

Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) is a frequently encountered cause of chronic dizziness, significantly impacting daily life. Despite its prevalence, PPPD remains underdiagnosed, particularly in South India, where clinical data are limited. This study aims to assess the prevalence of PPPD and its clinical characteristics in this region.

A Case Report of Auditory and Vestibular Findings in a Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Diabetes Mellitus.

This single case study describes the audiological and vestibular findings of a female patient, aged 62, with diabetes mellitus and rheumatoid arthritis. Based on this case study, we hypothesize that individuals with diabetes mellitus and rheumatoid arthritis are more vulnerable to vestibular impairment. The current findings indicate that central vestibular lesions and bilateral sensorineural hearing loss are related to rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes.

Cepstral Analysis of Voice in School-Aged Children.

Introduction: Dysphonia in school-aged children is attributed primarily to hyperfunctional use of voice. These can be identified through effective protocols using both acoustic and auditory-perceptual analyses.

Objective: The current study aimed to investigate voice characteristics in school children aged 4-17 years using auditory-perceptual rating and cepstral measures of voice.
