Published: September 2019

Neuroendocrine adenoma of the middle ear is a rare tumor of the middle ear. The origins, as well as classification of the disease, are still controversial. We reported 2 cases of neuroendocrine adenoma of the middle ear separately in a 60-year-old male and a 48-year-old patient who both presented with hearing loss. This article reviewed the reported literatures and summarized the pathogenesis, clinical features, imaging manifestations, pathological features, and biological behavior of neuroendocrine adenoma of the middle ear, so as to improve the understanding of the disease.

Middle Ear Mechanics in the Barn Owl.

J Morphol

January 2025

Department of Zoology, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Denver, Colorado, USA.

The barn owl is a common research subject in auditory science due to its exceptional capacity for high frequency hearing and superb sound source localization capabilities. Despite longstanding interest in the auditory performance of barn owls, the function of its middle ear has attracted remarkably little attention. Here, we report the middle ear transfer function measured by laser Doppler vibrometry and direct measurements of inner ear pressures.

Influence of the wet-ear state on the outcomes of tympanic membrane repair under ear endoscopy: a prospective case-control study.

BMC Surg

January 2025

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Zhangqiu People's Hospital, No.1920 Mingshui Huiquan Road, Zhangqiu Distict, Jinan, 250200, People's Republic of China.

Background: To prospectively determine whether tympanoplasty for tympanic membrane perforation (TMP) in wet ears impacts recovery.

Methods: We prospectively enrolled 32 TMP patients (2021-2023) and divided them into the wet-ear (14 patients) and dry-ear groups (18 patients), according to the presence of middle-ear secretions/edema. All patients underwent high-resolution thin-slice computed tomography, ear endoscopy, and pure tone audiometry.
