Background: Persistent cortical deafness in the pediatric population is rarely reported, and there is limited information on its implications for early intervention.
Objectives: This study aims to (1) conduct a scoping review on pediatric cortical deafness and (2) present a case report of a 7-year-old girl with left unilateral spastic cerebral palsy and cortical deafness resulting from presumed perinatal bilateral stroke.
Methods: A search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science identified 407 manuscripts. After the screening, 5 studies met the inclusion criteria for analysis. The case report details clinical characteristics, diagnostic challenges, and intervention strategies for pediatric cortical deafness.
Results: The scoping review highlighted the limited literature on pediatric cortical deafness, emphasizing its association with extensive bilateral lesions and heterogeneous etiology. The case report underscored the need for comprehensive auditory function measurements, early diagnosis, and tailored interventions.
Conclusions: Early and tailored interventions are crucial for improving prognosis in pediatric cortical deafness, particularly in cases associated with bilateral perinatal stroke.

Loss of neuronal activity facilitates surface accumulation of p75NTR and cell death in avian cochlear nucleus.

Sensorineural hearing loss causes cell death in central auditory neurons, but molecular mechanisms of triggering this process are not fully understood. We report here that loss of afferent activity promotes cell death by facilitating proBDNF-p75NTR signals in cochlear nucleus of chicks around hatch. RNA-seq analyses revealed up-regulation of genes related to proBDNF-p75NTR-JNK signals as well as apoptosis at the nucleus within 24hours after unilateral cochlea deprivation.

Objectives: The present study aims to identify potential predictive factors for developing sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in individuals with congenital Cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 50 subjects with cCMV infection (symptomatic and asymptomatic), followed at the Audiology Service of Sant'Anna Hospital (University Hospital of Ferrara). The following data were analyzed: the type of maternal Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection (primary versus non-primary), time of in utero infection, systemic signs and symptoms or laboratory test anomalies due to cCMV infection, and signs and symptoms of central nervous system (CNS) involvement at birth.

Background: Meniere's disease arises when an abnormal fluid accumulation results in heightened pressure within the inner ear or labyrinth. Its symptoms encompass vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and a sensation of fullness in the ear. Various triggers for Meniere's disease are known, from smoking and alcohol consumption to recent viral illnesses, allergies, and anxiety.
