Article Synopsis
- - The study looked at factors predicting abnormal MRI results in patients with asymmetrical sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL) by reviewing medical records from a tertiary care hospital from 2019 to 2021.
- - Out of 390 patients, 12.8% had abnormal MRI findings related to their hearing loss, with tumors being the most common cause, specifically in the internal acoustic canal or cerebellopontine angle.
- - A significant predictor identified was a hearing asymmetry of 15 dB at 1000 Hz, which showed strong sensitivity in indicating abnormal MRI results and could guide future referrals for MRI scans.
Objectives: To report the status and outcomes of cochlear implantation in Thailand.
Design: Cohort study.
Setting: Tertiary care and university hospitals.
Introduction: Endoscopic type I tympanoplasty (ETT) is currently accepted as an effective, minimally traumatic procedure for repairing tympanic membrane perforation. However, ETT requires tympanomeatal flap elevation which chorda tympani nerve injury, bleeding and wound healing are the drawbacks of this technique. Thus endoscopic transtympanic myringoplasty (ETM) without elevation of the tympanomeatal flap is commonly used as an alternative technique.

Material And Method: A retrospective comparative study of 37 otosclerosis stapes fixation surgeries performed with the conventional technique or the endoscope-assisted microdrill stapedotomy were evaluated. Audiometric data and intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded.
Objective: To compare the clinical characteristics of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) between the elderly and the younger patients.
Material And Method: The medical records of BPPV patients with positive testing result on the Dix-Hallpike or supine roll test between January 2002 and December 2012 at Songklanagarind hospital, Thailand were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Of the 951 BPPV patients, 595 patients were in the younger group (age < or =60-year-old, mean age = 46.
Objective: To compare the results of audiogram and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) parameters between staffs working in a noisy environment and normal subjects.
Material And Method: Hearing function of 32 noise-exposed workers and 18 reference subjects were assessed with DPOAEs and pure-tone audiometry. Results were compared among three groups: 1) ears of reference subjects, 2) audiometrically normal ears of noise-exposed subjects, and 3) audiometrically abnormal ears of noise-exposed subjects.
Background: It is considered that allergy, at least in some cases, is associated with nasal polyps and affects recurrence rate. Our purpose was to determine the effects of aeroallergen hypersensitization on therapeutic response of eosinophil- and noneosinophil-dominated inflammation.
Methods: Sixty-eight patients were enrolled.
