Preoperative unaided maximum monosyllabic word recognition score as a predictor of CI outcomes
This retrospective study supports early intervention and hearing rehabilitation with hearing amplification for adults. The authors included 103 patients (128 ears), who had undergone cochlear implantation over a seven-year period, in this study. All patients had been assessed for their...‘Drop-in’ nasendoscopy – a decade of development to find head and neck cancer early
