PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·13d agoIs Proton Therapy Superior to Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Sporadic Vestibular Schwannoma?Audiologists counseling patients with vestibular schwannoma should be aware that the comparative effectiveness of proton therapy versus Gamma Knife is under active investigation; refer to neuro-otology or neurosurgery for treatment decisions until clearer evidence emerges.
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·2w agoPerformance Phenotypes and Early Prognostic Benchmarking After Adult Cochlear ImplantationEarly prognostic benchmarks and performance phenotype mapping after cochlear implant activation may allow clinicians to identify underperformers sooner and personalise rehabilitation — worth reviewing once full data are published.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·2w agoCochleovestibular Function of Trans-Mastoid Occlusion for Superior Semicircular Canal DehiscenceTrans-mastoid superior semicircular canal occlusion appears to improve cochleovestibular outcomes in symptomatic SSCD; audiologists should be aware of expected post-operative hearing and balance profiles when managing these patients, but full interpretation requires review of...＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·5w agoIntervention Outcomes for Meniere's Disease: An Umbrella ReviewClinicians managing Ménière's disease should consult this umbrella review for a consolidated evidence map across treatment categories; however, practice changes should be driven by the specific findings and their quality ratings rather than the review's existence alone.＋Save

PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·7w agoThe Auxiliary Diagnostic Value of Microsaccades in Vestibular MigraineMicrosaccade analysis during video head impulse testing (vHIT) may add diagnostic value in vestibular migraine, but findings need replication before changing standard diagnostic protocols.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·7w agoA Novel Descriptive Framework for Petroclival and Temporal Bone Meningioma Surgical OutcomesAudiologists involved in neuro-otology teams should be aware that a new surgical outcomes framework for petroclival and temporal bone meningiomas has been proposed, which may eventually standardize post-surgical hearing and balance assessment protocols.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Clinical audiology·8w agoDoes Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery Preserve Hearing on Short- and Long-Term Follow-Up?Clinicians managing patients with vestibular schwannoma or other skull base tumours treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery should review these findings, as long-term hearing preservation rates may influence shared decision-making between observation, radiosurgery, and...＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Clinical audiology·2mo agoParallel Postauricular Incisions in Transmastoid CSF Leak Repair: Wound OutcomesSurgeons performing transmastoid CSF leak repair after vestibular schwannoma resection may consider parallel postauricular incisions as a wound-sparing alternative, but evidence is limited to this single study and should be replicated before routine adoption.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·2mo agoRobotic-Assisted Electrode Insertion for Pediatric Cochlear Implantation: A Multicenter StudyRobotic-assisted electrode insertion appears safe and feasible in pediatric cochlear implantation across multiple centers, but the small sample (n=14) and absence of long-term audiological outcome data mean it is too early to recommend over standard manual insertion.＋Save

PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Tinnitus·2mo agoNeuromodulation for Subjective Tinnitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized TrialsThis meta-analysis of RCTs is the strongest available evidence class on neuromodulation for tinnitus; clinicians should review effect sizes and safety data before recommending these treatments, but current evidence likely does not yet support routine adoption.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·3mo agoMulti-Frequency Electrocochleography Results in Fewer Drop Alarms During Cochlear Implant InsertionSurgeons performing cochlear implantation who use intraoperative ECochG monitoring should consider multi-frequency algorithms, as they appear to reduce false-positive drop alarms without compromising detection of true hearing drops.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·3mo agoMénière's Disease: A Tri-Decade Scoping Review of Treatment Trends and Evidence QualityTreatment evidence for Ménière's disease remains highly variable in quality; audiologists and ENT colleagues should interpret guideline recommendations cautiously until higher-quality RCTs close the evidence gaps identified.＋Save
