The evaluation of auditory processing skills and late latencies in children with ventilation tube history.

Objective: (s): This study aims to evaluate the changes in temporal auditory processing skills in children who underwent bilateral ventilation tube insertion (VTI) due to Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) and the effect of these changes on speech comprehension in noisy environments.

Methods: This is a case-control study. In total, 60 children were included in the study in two groups.

Clinical Interpretation of Positional Nystagmus Provoked by both Dix-Hallpike and Supine Head-Roll Tests.

Background: Both the Dix-Hallpike test and the supine head-roll test can provoke positional nystagmus in a group of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients, including but not limited to those with multiple canal involvement. This study aimed to determine the incidence and interpret the clinical significance of positional nystagmus provoked by both the Dix-Hallpike and the supine head-roll tests.

Methods: The results of video-nystagmography sessions recorded in the computer database that included both the Dix-Hallpike and the supine head-roll tests were examined.

Evaluation of the Relationship Between Facial Nerve and Lateral Semicircular Canal in the Posterior Tympanotomy Approach.

Background: To clinically and radiologically evaluate the relationship between the facial nerve and the lateral semicircular canal during posterior tympanotomy.

Methods: Patients who received cochlear implants between 2010 and 2020 were included in the study. The relationship between the facial nerve and the lateral semicircular canal was classified into 3 types by evaluating the axial section computed tomography images.

Cochlear Implant Failure in the Pediatric Population.

Background And Objectives: In cochlear implant (CI) surgery, the results and causes of revision and reimplantation may guide surgeons in establishing surgical protocols for revision surgery with safe audiological outcomes. The aim of this study was to review our experience in terms of etiology, surgical strategy, and hearing outcomes in pediatric patients who underwent CI removal and reimplantation.

Subjects And Purpose: All patients received implants of the same brand.

Middle-Ear Resonance Frequency and Eustachian Tube Function in Players of Wind Instruments.

Introduction: The effect of the continuous forced expiration action of players of wind instruments to produce sound, on the eustachian tube functions and the middle-ear resonance frequency (RF), has not been investigated in the literature to date. The aim of this study is to evaluate eustachian tube functions and the middle-ear RF of players of wind instruments.

Methods: In this prospective case-control clinical study, a study group of 28 players of wind instruments in the orchestra (28 participants, 56 ears) and a control group of 34 volunteers (34 participants, 68 ears) were included.
