After a survey concerning the previous testing methods in Newborn-Audiometry three different examinations are carried out and compared. Thereby the testing by bone conduction is doing best. There are only small intensities necessary. The results are reproducable well and have small scattering. The investigation makes no high demands to the technical equipment, to the personal appointment and the loss the time. The author supposed that the Newborn-Audiometry by bone conduction is a suitable method as a screening test especially for high risk children.

Background: Hearing impairment is identified as a risk factor for dementia. This study aimed to investigate audiometric hearing level in individuals across the clinical spectrum of cognitive impairment, from normal cognition (NC) to mild dementia, encompassing subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Method: 135 participants were included in this study.

Objective We evaluated the outcomes of tympanic membrane regenerative treatment using gelatin sponge, recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and fibrin glue at Yokosuka Kyosai Hospital. Methodology We enrolled a total of 42 patients with tympanic membrane perforations (TMPs) (44 ears; right:left = 21:23) that were treated using gelatin sponge, recombinant bFGF, and fibrin glue between July 2020 and December 2023 at Yokosuka Kyosai Hospital. TMP closure rates, improvement of hearing level, and complications were retrospectively included in the evaluation items.

Single-sided deafness (SSD), where there is severe to profound hearing loss in one ear and normal hearing in the other, is a prevalent auditory condition that significantly impacts the quality of life for those affected. The ability to accurately localize sound sources is crucial for various everyday activities, including speech communication and environmental awareness. In recent years, bone conduction intervention has emerged as a promising solution for patients with SSD, offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional air conduction hearing aids.

Objective: Eosinophilic Otitis Media (EOM) is an intractable disease caused by type 2 inflammation, such as Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis (ECRS) and bronchial asthma. Biologics have recently been used to treat ECRS and bronchial asthma. Biologics are not indicated for EOM; however, because approximately 10% of ECRS cases has concomitant EOM, concomitant EOM improvement has been observed when dupilumab is administered for ECRS.
