Aims: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of perioperative comfort in patients undergoing otosclerosis surgery under local anesthesia versus general anesthesia and to compare audiometric results, quality of life and complications.
Materials And Methods: A prospective non-interventional study was performed. Patients undergoing otosclerosis surgery between January 2019 and March 2021 at the University Hospital of Rennes were included consecutively.
Tonotopic and Default Frequency Fitting for Music Perception in Cochlear Implant Recipients: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
November 2024
Importance: Cochlear implants are an effective technique for enhancing speech perception abilities in quiet environments for people with severe to profound deafness. Nevertheless, complex sound signals perception, such as music perception, remains challenging for cochlear implant users.
Objective: To assess the benefit of a tonotopic map on music perception in new cochlear implant users.
Article Synopsis
- Cochlear implants (CIs) help individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss recognize speech, but understanding speech in noisy environments is still difficult; this study investigates whether using a tonotopic map for CI fitting can enhance speech perception in both quiet and noisy settings.
- The research was conducted among 26 new CI users in a double-blind, randomized, cross-over design over 6 months, where participants were assigned different fitting methods and subsequently evaluated on their speech recognition abilities.
- Results indicated that participants fitted with the tonotopic map performed significantly better in recognizing speech in noise across various signal-to-noise ratios, highlighting the potential benefits of this fitting method for improving auditory experiences in challenging listening environments.
Purpose: This study was designed to identify risk factors for post-operative complications in micro-anastomosed osteomyocutaneous free flaps (MOFF) and analyzed their consequences in long term.
Methods: A retrospective review of 100 MOFF realized between May 2007 and October 2019 was performed. Demographic data, perioperative management and postoperative complications were enrolled and analyzed in a multivariate model.
Introduction: There is no consensus for management of Mild primary hyperparathyroidism (MILD-pHP). Specific management has been suggested by some authors. We have compared the surgical management of the patients with MILD-pHP to those with Classic primary hyperparathyroidism (C-pHP) treated by surgery according to The Fourth International Workshop on pHP.
