Objective: To compare ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs) obtained with three different electrode montages (infra-orbital vs belly-tendon vs chin) in a group of healthy subjects. To assess the electrical activity recorded at the level of the reference electrode in the belly-tendon and chin montages.
Study Design: Prospective study.
Article Synopsis
- - Childhood hearing impairment can arise from various external factors, not including infections in the middle ear.
- - Some key causes include conditions affecting the embryo and fetus (embryofoetopathy), meningitis, physical injuries (trauma), harmful effects from medications (drug ototoxicity), and exposure to loud sounds (noise trauma).
- - Understanding these extrinsic causes is crucial for prevention and treatment strategies in managing hearing loss in children.
Objective: A prospective, longitudinal, randomized controlled trial with an original crossover design for 1 year was conducted to compare manual fitting to artificial intelligence-based fitting in newly implanted patients.
Design: Twenty-four patients who received their first cochlear implant (CI) were randomly assigned to the manual or Fitting to Outcome eXpert (FOX) arm; they followed the corresponding fitting procedures for 1 year. After 1 year, each patient was switched to another arm.
Objectives: Although vestibular deficits are more prevalent in hearing-impaired children and can affect their development on many levels, a pediatric vestibular assessment is still uncommon in clinical practice. Since early detection may allow for timely intervention, this pioneer project has implemented a basic vestibular screening test for each six-month-old hearing-impaired infant in Flanders, Belgium. This study aims to report the vestibular screening results over a period of three years and to define the most important risk factors for abnormal vestibular screening results.
