J West Afr Coll Surg
August 2022
Background: Adult-onset otitis media with effusion (AO-OME) is relatively difficult to characterize, because of its associated co-morbidities.
Objectives: To quantify the burden, assess co-existing diseases, and management of patients with AO-OME.
Design Of The Study: A descriptive observational prospective study.
Background: Hearing threshold changes occurred relative to baseline at both one and two weeks after onset of aminoglycoside therapy.
Objectives: To assess changes in audiometric hearing thresholds between pre-treatment values and two weeks into therapy. To document observed changes, and occurrence of ototoxicity within the period.
Objectives: To estimate the burden, and clinical factors associated with development of Otitis media with effusion (OME) in children with enlarged adenoids.
Methods: Consecutive eligible patients with adenoid (sometimes with tonsillar) enlargement managed operatively in a period of five years. Patients had no complaints suggestive of hearing impairment.
Objectives: To document the frequency of occurrence and types of symptoms experienced in the contralateral ear in patients with unilateral physical non-explosive (UPN) ear trauma and to compare the audiometric and tympanometric parameters between asymptomatic and symptomatic contralateral ears.
Design: Prospective analytical clinical study Setting: Specialized (Ear, Nose, and Throat) clinic of a tertiary health institution. Participants: Patients with UPN ear trauma who presented within the first week of the incident.
Objective: To characterize traumatic tympanic membrane perforation (TTMP) in terms of distribution, mechanisms, and outcome of treatment. To assess the factors influencing such outcome.
Study Design: Prospective analytical study, assessing outcomes post-injuries.
Background: Little is known about functioning of the middle ear with advancing age.
Objectives: To estimate the prevalence and describe tympanometric patterns of sub-clinical middle ear malfunctions,( S-MEM) in elderly patients. It also assessed clinical factors that could predict S-MEM.
Objective:: To use baseline audiogram parameters in order to ascertain whether drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) has effects on hearing, as well as to describe the configurations of the audiograms and to determine whether there are parameters that can be associated with those configurations.
Methods:: This was a prospective study involving patients diagnosed with DR-TB at a tuberculosis treatment center in the state of Ogun, in Nigeria. The patients included in the study were submitted to pure tone audiometry at baseline (within two weeks after treatment initiation).
Objective: The study objectives were to determine the incidence of aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity in institutionalized patients on intensive phase of therapy for drug-resistant Tuberculosis (DR Tb) and also to assess clinical factors which could predict the ototoxicity.
Methods: The study was a prospective analytical study among consecutive DR Tb patients who were admitted for intensive phase of therapy (of 4 months) at the DR-Tb center over a 12-month period. Patients were diagnosed as DR Tb using the Gene Xpert machine to confirm Rifampicin resistance.
Background: Ear, nose and throat foreign bodies (FBs) are common occurrences particularly among children. This study reviewed the clinical spectrum of ENT FBs, their treatment and outcomes as seen in a tertiary health center in North Western Nigeria.
Method: The study was a retrospective chart review of patients that were managed for FB impaction in a tertiary health institution in North Western Nigeria over a four year period.
Introduction: This cross-sectional comparative study was carried out at the Diabetes outpatient clinic of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital (LTH) Ogbomoso, Nigeria.
Objective: This study assessed patterns of otologic diseases and auditory acuity among type 2 diabetics and determinants of these findings among diabetics.
Methods: Ninety-seven consenting patients with clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (194 ears) were matched for age and sex with ninety non-diabetic patients (180 ears).
Background: Use of hearing impairment (HI) questionnaires has been an alternative to formal audiometry.
Objective: To validate hearing handicap inventory for the elderly (HHIE) questionnaire and verify its suitability or otherwise as a screening instrument in low-resource clinical settings.
Subjects And Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study deployed the HHIE questionnaire to detect emotional and situational hearing handicaps (HHs) and assigned scores.
Background: Patients with ORL lesions sometimes present to the general emergency room. This study reviews the common ENT admissions via emergency room in a sub-urban town in Nigeria.
Methods: A retrospective study spanning five years from January 2009 to December 2013.

Background: Hearing impairment is a hidden human disability with potentially catastrophic and age long consequences. This study highlighted the challenges associated with the management of congenital and early onset childhood hearing loss in a sub-Saharan African country.
Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of children seen between January 2008 and December 2013 RESULT: A total of 223 children consisting of 124 (55.
Objective: To assess the medication-related expenditures in individuals with allergic rhinitis (AR) and identify contributory factors that affect these expenditures.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study from August 2013 to January 2014.
Setting: Kwara state has 16 local government areas, a total land mass of 36,825 km(2), and a population of 2,591,555.
Introduction: The effect of dental loss and associated desire to restore its function and aesthesis has led to an increase in the number of people wearing dentures. This study therefore reviews the cases of impacted acrylic dentures in the oesophagus.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients that were managed for oesophageal denture impaction at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria, over an eight year period from 2005 to 2012.
Middle ear impedance studies in elderly patients implications on age-related hearing loss.
Braz J Otorhinolaryngol
May 2016
Introduction: Controversies arise with respect to functioning of the middle ear over time.
Objective: To assess changes in middle ear impedance that may be related to aging, and/or if there was an association of these changes with those of the inner ear in the elderly patients.
Methods: Cross-sectional, comparative study of elderly patients managed in ear, nose and throat clinics.
Introduction: This study assessed vestibular disorders in elderly patients, describing the causes, clinical characteristics, therapies and treatment outcomes.
Methods: Five-year hospital-based prospective study, conducted at the ENT clinic of a tertiary referral center. Subjects were consecutive elderly patients with dizziness, treated and followed-up for a minimum of six months.
Background: A reduction in hearing sensitivity is common in adults and was previously considered to be normal as age increases. However, other health variables may play a role in the sensory changes. This prospective, comparative, hospital-based study assessed the risk factors (RFs) associated with sensorineural hearing losses (SNHL) in adult patients in a specialized tertiary hospital clinic in South-western Nigeria.
