Interacoustics obtains recognised environmental standard certification
Interacoustics has taken initial steps to improve its environmental performance and reduce CO2 emissions. Earlier this year, the company applied for – and obtained – the recognized ISO 14001 environmental standard certification.From melody to meaning: Meludia music training for CI users
Music and speech share deep cognitive and auditory roots. Meludia on myMED-EL, a music training especially curated for cochlear implant (CI) users, taps into this connection to support hearing performance. Meludia’s exercises can directly translate to better speech comprehension. -...
To monitor the nerves or not?
Whilst intraoperative nerve monitoring has become the standard of care for mastoid and parotid surgery, its benefit in thyroid surgery remains unclear. In the UK NICE was agnostic on the subject in 2008, stating that it was potentially helpful and...
Radiosurgery for large vestibular schwannomas
The authors conducted a retrospective study of patients with large Koos grade 4 vestibular schwannomas undergoing gamma knife radiosurgery. A total of 68 patients with tumour size greater than 4 cm3 with baseline serviceable 60% hearing who received 12 Gray...
Botox application for drooling shrinks salivary glands
The large majority of sialorrhoea (drooling) in paediatric patients is managed conservatively. However in severe cases, often where there is associated developmental delay or a motor disorder, medical and surgical techniques can be used to decrease salivary flow. Botulinum toxin...
Surgery for drooling
This paper looks at the surgical options for sialorrhoea once the first two options of behavioural and physiotherapy interventions and pharmacotherapy have been exhausted. The social impact of sialorrhoea on patients and their families is significant and often lifelong therefore...
Acoustic schwannoma regression post-Gamma Knife treatment
In this retrospective study the authors studied the optimal interval following radiosurgery for differentiating between true growth of tumour versus pseudoprogression using serial volumetric data. A total of 118 patients with a median tumour volume of 0.74cm3 at Gamma Knife...
Patient factors associated with spontaneous CSF leak
This article highlights the role of obesity, sleep apnoea and raised intracranial pressure as linked pathologies in the aetiology of the spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (sCSF) leak. The authors link sCSF leak with obesity and comment on sCSF leak incidence increasing...
Complications associated with microlaryngoscopy surgery
Microlaryngoscopy procedures are often considered to be routine procedures at the straightforward end of the ENT operative spectrum. Complications associated with this surgery are thought to be infrequent and primarily related to the possibility of dental trauma and adverse voice...
Contralateral OAEs in children
Several studies indicate that small changes in the medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex may possibly be associated with certain pathologies. This could be measured by using contralateral acoustic stimulation (CAS) and observing suppression in otoacoustic emissions (OEAs). The main aim of...
Cochlear implantation in enlarged vestibular aqueduct patients
In this systematic review, the authors describe the complications and outcomes of cochlear implantation in patients with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA). The authors reviewed five major databases and included 4035 patients from 34 studies. Of these, 853 patients (21.14%) had...
