Ototoxicity in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Therapy.

<b><br>Introduction:</b> Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and T-cell therapies are a modern, well-established cancer treatment. The priority of oncological treatment is to cure cancer. However, treatment-related toxicities, i.

Robot-assisted cochlear implantation via a modified pericanal approach.

<b><br>Aim:</b> The aim of this study was to present the case with a difficult anatomy of the middle ear, in which robot-assisted cochlear implantation via a modified pericanal approach was performed.</br> <b><br>Case report:</b> The patient, a a 63-year-old male, had passed the typical procedure of qualifying for a cochlear implant at our center. However, the preoperative CT of the temporal bones showed a very anterior position of the sigmoid sinus and a very low position of the middle fossa dura in the right ear qualified for cochlear implantation.

Effect of Neonatal Hearing Screening Results on the Lost to Follow-Up at the Diagnostic Level.

(1) Background: An important part of any neonatal hearing screening program is monitoring diagnostic visits to confirm or exclude the presence of hearing loss. In addition, time plays an important role in the diagnosis. We identified the number of children who came for a diagnostic visit and analyzed the time of the first audiological visit, depending on the result of the hearing screening test performed in the first days of a child's life and the presence or absence of risk factors of hearing impairment.

Robot-Assisted Electrode Insertion in Cochlear Implantation Controlled by Intraoperative Electrocochleography-A Pilot Study.

Robotics in otology has been developing in many directions for more than two decades. Current clinical trials focus on more accurate stapes surgery, minimally invasive access to the cochlea and less traumatic insertion of cochlear implant (CI) electrode arrays. In this study we evaluated the use of the RobOtol (Collin, Bagneux, France) otologic robot to insert CI electrodes into the inner ear with intraoperative ECochG analysis.

The impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on the functioning of the Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Program in Poland.

The Newborn Hearing Screening Program has existed in Poland for almost 20 years. However, for the first time in the history of his activity, he had to deal with large logistic and staffing problems. The analysis compared the years 2020 and 2021 in terms of the functioning of centers that conduct audiological diagnostics of the Program during the Covid-19 pandemic.
