Objective: To make evidence-based recommendations for the indications and complications of Cochlear Implant (CI) surgery in adults and children.
Methods: Task force members were educated on knowledge synthesis methods, including electronic database search, review and selection of relevant citations, and critical appraisal of selected studies. Articles written in English or Portuguese on cochlear implantation were eligible for inclusion.
Background: Somatosensory tinnitus (ST) is associated with activation of the auditory pathway by trigeminal or cervical afferents.
Objective: This is a cross-sectional observational study that aims to verify the association of ST with TMD, bruxism, migraine and psychosocial aspects.
Methods: This study was conducted at the Tinnitus Outpatient Clinic of the Clinical Hospital Complex of the Federal University of Paraná.
Article Synopsis
- The goal of the study is to give good advice on how to treat Single-Sided Deafness (SSD) in both kids and adults.
- Researchers looked at different studies and used certain systems to decide which treatments were the best.
- They found that some devices can help improve hearing, but cochlear implants work best for many people, except in certain cases where the cochlear nerve is not working.
One of the paths in the investigation of congenital sensorineural hearing loss (CSNHL) is to try to characterize its etiology through the inner ear evaluation using high resolution computer tomography (CT) scans. With minor malformation, it is not always possible for a simple visual inspection to recognize if the structure in the inner ear is normal or not. To verify if measurements of the inner ear are predictive of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and suggest cutoff points of size limits.
