Autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss/Meniere's disease possibly triggered by neurocysticercosis: a case report.

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.

Long-term outcomes following impedance-controlled radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of chronic rhinitis.

Objective: To assess long-term safety and effectiveness of a multipoint, impedance-controlled, RF ablation device for treatment of chronic rhinitis through 12-month follow-up.

Methods: A prospective, multicenter study. Bilateral posterior nasal nerve (PNN) ablation was performed on all participants.

Clinical evaluation of a novel multipoint radiofrequency ablation device to treat chronic rhinitis.

Objective: Safety and efficacy of the NEUROMARK® system for treating chronic rhinitis.

Methods: A prospective, single-arm, multicenter study was performed on adults with chronic rhinitis who underwent radiofrequency ablation to the posterior nasal nerves. Primary endpoints were device-related serious adverse events (SAEs) at 1 month and change from baseline in visual analog scale nasal symptom scale (VAS NSS) for rhinorrhea and nasal congestion at 3 months.

Effectiveness of Simulation Training on Graduate Audiology Students' Auditory Brainstem Response Testing Skills.

Purpose Simulation is a tool commonly used in the clinical training of students within the health professions fields, such as medicine and nursing. The effectiveness of simulation as a teaching technique has been extensively documented in numerous health care professions; however, little is known about the effectiveness of simulation techniques in audiology education. This study assesses the effectiveness of a simulation activity focused on auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing conducted with students of an applied doctoral program in audiology.

An Evaluation of Simulation Techniques in Audiology and Allied Health Professions.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the experiences and opinions of clinical educators from various allied health care fields, including audiology, related to the use of simulation as a teaching technique and determine the status of clinical simulation techniques in training audiology graduate students nationwide. Method An interview was conducted with nine faculty members in the College of Health Professions at Towson University to discuss advantages and challenges of incorporating clinical simulation techniques into student learning. A thematic analysis was used to analyze the interview responses.
