PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Clinical audiology·4w agoClinical features and efficacy analysis of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss in children: a single-center, retrospective study (2015-2025)Retrospective single-center data on pediatric sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) may sharpen awareness of child-specific features, but the weak evidence level means no practice change is warranted until prospective or multicenter data confirm the findings.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Tinnitus·4w agoEvaluation of sigmoid sinus hemodynamics through four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging in pulsatile tinnitus patients caused by sigmoid sinus wall dehiscence coexisting with idiopathic intracranial hypertension4D flow MRI provides hemodynamic detail in a specific pulsatile tinnitus subtype (sigmoid sinus wall dehiscence plus idiopathic intracranial hypertension) that may aid surgical planning, but the study design limits generalizability — no immediate protocol change for most clinics.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Tinnitus·4w agoIncrements in physical activity relate to reductions in tinnitus severity: a 2-year prospective observational studyIncreasing physical activity is associated with reduced tinnitus severity over 2 years, but the observational design cannot confirm causation — audiologists may reasonably encourage activity as part of a healthy lifestyle without overstating its therapeutic effect on tinnitus.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·4w agoEnhanced response obtainability with chirp stimulus in bone-conducted mVEMPsChirp stimuli may improve response rates for bone-conducted mVEMPs; audiologists performing vestibular testing should consider this stimulus type if response obtainability is a concern, pending replication in larger samples.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Hearing aids·4w agoSensory integration, postural stability, and quality of life: a multidimensional assessment in adult hearing aid usersMultidimensional assessment of sensory integration, postural stability, and quality of life in hearing aid users reveals broader functional impacts — audiologists should consider balance and sensory processing screening as part of comprehensive hearing aid fitting and follow-up.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·4w agoHigh-frequency pseudo-hypofunction of the superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome: a vHIT - oVEMP dissociation explained by hydrodynamic energy lossWhen vHIT shows apparent semicircular canal hypofunction alongside preserved or enhanced oVEMP responses in SCDS, clinicians should recognise this as pseudo-hypofunction caused by hydrodynamic energy loss rather than true canal pathology, and avoid misdiagnosis.＋Save
