Long-term mental health and quality of life in patients after cervical artery dissection

Cervical artery dissection can occasionally present with auditory or vestibular symptoms, so awareness of long-term patient burden may inform holistic care discussions, but this paper does not advance audiology-specific evidence.

Caloric canal paresis thresholds in relation to vHIT-defined acute unilateral vestibular dysfunction: a retrospective analysis

Caloric and vHIT thresholds may not always agree in acute unilateral vestibular dysfunction; clinicians should be cautious about relying on either test alone — but specific threshold cut-offs from this single retrospective study are not yet ready to change established testing...

Evaluation of tip fold over in 1,575 cochlear implant electrode arrays

Surgeons performing cochlear implant insertions should review their technique and the risk factors identified for tip fold-over, as this large retrospective series may inform intraoperative decision-making — though prospective confirmation is needed before changing established...

Acupuncture for chronic tinnitus: study protocol for a clinical trial with auditory brainstem response outcomes

A rigorously designed trial using objective ABR (auditory brainstem response) outcomes could help resolve long-standing uncertainty about whether acupuncture has a measurable neurophysiological effect on tinnitus.

Attentional dysfunction in persistent postural-perceptual dizziness: a narrative review of mechanistic evidence

Clinicians managing PPPD patients should be aware of co-existing attentional dysfunction as a mechanistic feature — not merely a symptom — which may support the rationale for cognitive-focused therapies (e.g., CBT, mindfulness) in treatment planning.

Epley maneuver versus 360° maneuver for treatment of posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in a mechanical rotation chair: a randomized controlled trial

of this RCT may refine which repositioning maneuver to prefer for posterior canal BPPV when a mechanical rotation chair is available, but await full reading of outcome data before changing standard Epley-first practice.

Neurotransmitter regulatory networks in persistent postural-perceptual dizziness: potential mechanisms and therapeutic implications

Understanding the neurotransmitter networks behind PPPD could open new pharmacological avenues for a condition that is notoriously difficult to treat and commonly seen in vestibular clinics.

Popping sound and streaming water-like tinnitus in Cochlin-tomoprotein-confirmed perilymphatic fistula with antecedent barotrauma

Cochlin-tomoprotein testing may support diagnosis of perilymphatic fistula in patients presenting with unusual tinnitus after barotrauma, but this is a single case report and no actionable change to routine clinical practice is warranted at this time.

Multiple sclerosis as an under-recognized cause of acute vertigo: clinical and pathophysiologic insights

Clinicians evaluating acute vertigo should include MS in the differential diagnosis, especially in younger patients with other neurological features — this review reinforces existing neurological guidance rather than introducing new practice-changing evidence.

Prediction of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo recurrence in postmenopausal women: a machine learning-based clinical study

The predictive model is promising but requires external validation before it can guide clinical decision-making; no actionable change in BPPV management for postmenopausal women yet.
