Audio-vestibular Findings in a Patient with Pelizaeus- Merzbacher Disease.

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is an X-linked recessive rare disease condition in which audiological deficit is also observed. A 4-year-old male child with PMD underwent an audiological evaluation. The results suggested normal middle ear and outer hair cells functioning, with only peak I of the auditory brainstem response present until 30 dBnHL.

Does Binaural Stimulation Enhance Temporal Processing in Young Children?

Background and objective Temporal processing abilities help perceive signal changes over time. Efficient temporal processing is necessary for pitch perception, voice identification, and speech perception. It plays a significant role in language development.

Comprehensive Normative Data for Objective Vestibular Tests.

Introduction:  Vestibular dysfunction is a debilitating disorder frequently encountered in neurological and otological settings. The vestibular system is a complex network between peripheral and central mechanisms. This innate complexity of the vestibular system necessitates objective test procedures for evidence-based diagnostic formulations and intervention.

Measure of Central Vestibular Compensation: A Review.

The central vestibular compensation reduces vestibular symptoms and helps individuals improve balance affected by vestibular dysfunction. The video head impulse test provides an opportunity to study central vestibular compensation objectively. This study aims to methodically present existing information about the video head impulse test as a measure to evaluate central vestibular compensation in patients with unilateral vestibular dysfunction.

A systematic review on the effect of low-dose radiation on hearing.

Numerous studies have documented the adverse effects of high-dose radiation on hearing in patients. On the other hand, radiographers are exposed to a low dose of ionizing radiation, and the effect of a low dose of radiation on hearing is quite abstruse. Therefore, the present systematic review aimed to elucidate the effect of low-dose ionizing radiation on hearing.

Audiovestibular findings in a 6 year old child with pilocytic astrocytoma - a case report.

Pilocytic astrocytoma commonly occurs in children and depending on the extension of the lesion may cause varied audiovestibular dysfunctions. However, audiovestibular findings are scarcely reported in the literature. Audiovestibular testing was performed on a single subject on two occasions pre-surgically.

Audiological Profile of Adult Persons with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorders.

Background And Objectives: The auditory profile of a large number of persons with late onset auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is recently described in the Indian context. The purpose of study was 1) to profile data on routine audiological parameters, cortical evoked potentials, and temporal processing, 2) to analyze the benefit from hearing aids for persons with ANSD, and 3) to understand the association between benefit from hearing aids and auditory profile.

Subjects And Methods: Thirty-eight adults with late onset ANSD and a matched group of 40 normally hearing adults participated in the study.

Cortical Evoked Potentials and Hearing Aids in Individuals with Auditory Dys-Synchrony.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between cortical processing of speech and benefit from hearing aids in individuals with auditory dys-synchrony.

Materials And Methods: Data were collected from 38 individuals with auditory dys-synchrony. Participants were selected based on hearing thresholds, middle ear reflexes, otoacoustic emissions, and auditory brain stem responses.
