Introduction: The most common histopathological finding in Ménière's disease (MD) is endolymphatic hydrops (EH), which involves the dilation of the membranous labyrinth. The direct relationship between EH and MD is debated, although EH plays a crucial role in auditory and vestibular functional tests. MRI sequences such as 3D-FLAIR and 3D-real-IR are used to study EH, with the latter being more effective.

Multiple dehiscences of the otic capsule can exhibit behavior similar to Ménière's disease, not only from a clinical perspective but also in the results of audiovestibular tests. The main objective of this study is to characterize third mobile window etiologies from an audiovestibular perspective, while also evaluating the therapeutic response to four different treatment protocols. Furthermore, we aim to explore a potential association with the development of radiologically defined endolymphatic hydrops (EH).

Background: Untreated hearing loss has an effect on cognition. It is hypothesized that the additional processing required to compensate for the sensory loss affects the cognitive resources available for other tasks and that this could be mitigated by a hearing device.
Methods: The impact on cognition of cochlear implants (CIs) was tested in 100 subjects, ≥60 years old, with bilateral moderately-severe to profound post linguistic deafness using hearing aids.
