Objectives: To investigate fall risk among older adults with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (BHL) by comparing single task (ST) and dual task (DT) performance on the instrumented "Timed Up & Go" test (iTUG). The TUG is a well-validated clinical tool for fall risk; addition of wireless sensors increases the test's sensitivity and allows for subcomponent analysis.
Methods: Adults with audiometrically confirmed normal hearing or BHL were prospectively recruited and screened for visual, musculoskeletal, neurologic, or vestibular pathology and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) < 10.

Background: Glycemic control and the efficacy of therapy in diabetic patients with type 2 diabetes during the previous 2-3 months are usually evaluated by measuring the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Our aim is to study the correlation between serum glycated hemoglobin level (HbA1c) and the hearing thresholds in diabetic patients.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted in the Audio-Vestibular Medicine Unit, xxxx University on 82 subjects.

Aim: To evaluate the audiometric results of tympanoplasty with stapedectomy and insertion of a synthetic total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP).
Material And Methods: Retrospective observational study conducted on a cohort of 15 patients (16 ears) aged 10 to 58 years (mean: 36 years) with chronic otitis media (COM) and tympanosclerosis (n=9), stapediovestibular ankylosis (n=3), minor aplasia (n=3) or post-traumatic ossicular dislocation (n=1). Treatment consisted in tympanoplasty with stapedectomy and TORP placement by the same operator, between December 1, 2012 and January 30, 2023, in a French university hospital department, with follow-up ranging from 2 to 92 months (mean: 24 months).
