Refractive Error Impact on Video Head Impulse Test Outcomes.

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the potential influence of refractive error on Video Head Impulse Test outcomes.

Material And Methods: Eighty-two patients were included in the study, and all patients underwent video head impulse testing. Patients were divided into four groups according to their refractive error: myopia, myopia-astigmatism, astigmatism, and emmetropia as control.

Risk of hearing loss in the opposite ear after tympanomastoidectomy.

Purpose: The definitive treatment for chronic suppurative otitis media is surgery. Surgical technique and procedure varies according to individual case findings and pathology and may require mastoidectomies in which the canal wall is preserved or lowered to eradicate disease from mastoid air cells. Surgical treatment of chronic middle ear disease carries a risk of damage to the inner ear.

An Unusual Case: Nasolacrimal Stent Penetrating the Oral Cavity.

Lacrimal bypass tubes create a fistula from the conjunctiva to the lacrimal sac or the nasal cavity. Fluoroscopic nonoperative placement of a plastic stent has shown successful results in the treatment of epiphora. Polyurethane lacrimal stents have been reported as a safe, easy, non-surgical treatment in the treatment of distal lacrimal obstruction.

Low Grade Chondrosarcoma of the Posterior Nasal Septum.

Chondrosarcoma originating from the nasal septum is extremely rare. CT, MRI and biopsy are standard in diagnosis. Although wide surgical excision of chondrosarcoma is used in the treatment, endoscopic excision can be recommended in appropriate cases.

The effects of SARS-CoV-2 on hearing thresholds in COVID-19 patients with non-hospitalized mild disease.

Introduction: COVID-19 may have many nonspecific symptoms, such as hearing loss, tinnitus and dizziness. This study aims to investigate the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the hearing thresholds of patients with COVID-19.

Methods: A total of 20 patients aged 20-55 years who were diagnosed with COVID-19 were included in this study.

Evaluation of Hearing Thresholds by Using a Mobile Application in Children with Otitis Media with Effusion.

Objective: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is the most common cause of hearing loss in children. Early diagnosis is important as hearing loss affects speech and language development in children. The aim of this study was to compare conventional audiometry with the Android mobile operating system application Hearing TestTM in the evaluation of hearing thresholds in children with OME and to determine the accuracy and reliability of the mobile application.

Relationship Between Primary Acquired Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction, Paranasal Abnormalities and Nasal Septal Deviation.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nasal septal deviation and paranasal abnormalities in the etiology of primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO).

Methods: A total of 37 (8 men, 29 women) patients (48 eyes with PANDO) between the ages 20 and 77 years (mean age, 52.8 ± 13.

Mattress Suture Technique for Caudal Septum Dislocations in Open and Endonasal Septoplasty: Which Approach is Better?

Objectives: Various techniques have been described to correct caudal septum dislocations but the issue has not been resolved conclusively. This study aimed to describe a suture technique that can be used to correct and stabilize the caudal septum on the maxillary spine and also to evaluate the effects on patientsymptoms.

Methods: Fifty-two patients with caudal septal dislocation were included in this study.

Does Septorhinoplasty-Related Periorbital Edema Affect Intraocular Pressure and Retina?

Background: Open rhinoplasty has been performed for over 50 years. Rhinoplasty procedures have a risk of complications and it is important to follow each step diligently in order to avoid complications. Periorbital edema is the most common complication of septorhinoplasty.

Investigating the effects of inferior turbinate outfracture on the lacrimal system by evaluating the results of paranasal sinus computed tomography and nasolacrimal irrigation test.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of inferior turbinate outfracture on the nasolacrimal system and tear flow.

Methods: Forty-seven patients (26 males, 21 females) between the ages 18 and 52 years (mean age-29.0 ± 9.

The effect of adenoid hypertrophy on hearing thresholds in children with otitis media with effusion.

Introduction: Otitis media with effusion is common middle ear mucosa disease that can cause hearing loss in children. Adenoid hypertrophy can cause recurrent acute otitis media in addition to otitis media with effusion as a result of eustachian tube dysfunction and primary infection focus. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adenoid hypertrophy on the hearing threshold in children suffering from otitis media with effusion.

Does amikacin treatment cause subclinical hearing loss in patients with cystic fibrosis?

Introduction: Aminoglycosides (AGs) have been widely used for potential life-threatening bacterial infections. Although AGs are well known for their ototoxic side effects, some AGs such as amikacin are considered less harmful to auditory functions; thus, auditory monitoring is mostly neglected during treatment with these drugs.

Objective: To reflect the potential auditory hazards of repeated amikacin use on the patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).

Nasobronchial interaction.

Upper and lower airways can be considered as a unified morphofunctional unit. In this paper, nasobronchial interactions are evaluated based on literature.To discuss nasobronchial interactions, literature review from PubMed since 1982 is evaluated.

Subjective audiological tests and transient evoked otoacoustic emissions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: analysis of the factors affecting hearing levels.

We investigated hearing functions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using audiological tests and transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs). The study group consisted of 20 adult patients with RA (7 males, 13 females); 20 adult healthy subjects without RA (7 males, 13 females) were recruited as controls. All patients were evaluated by pure tone audiometry, high frequency audiometry, tympanometry and TEOAEs.

Does subjective tinnitus cause sexual disturbance?

Objective: Tinnitus can cause psychological problems, which can affect sexual performance. The aim of this study was to investigate sexual disturbance related to the psychological problems of patients with subjective tinnitus.

Materials And Method: The subjective tinnitus group with normal hearing levels consisted of 20 patients (10 male, 10 female) who were nonpsychiatric.
