Ramsey Hunt causes more widespread vestibular dysfunction that other causes of acute peripheral vestibulopathy

The extent of semicircular canal dysfunction in different conditions causing acute vestibular syndrome (AS) has not been widely studied. The authors share their findings in a retrospective study of patients presenting with AVS in three conditions: Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHSD),...

Where is that sound? Not every hot tub is a jacuzzi

Evidence suggests that the incidence of sound sensitivity and general noise intolerance is increasing. Studies have suggested that the incidence of hyperacusis is between 8% and 15.2% of the adult population. There is a correlation between the prevalence of hyperacusis...

Determinants influencing ageing within the vestibular system

The observation that ageing affects vestibular function is not new. However, using a whole population survey, the authors set out to evaluate quantitatively factors responsible for the age-related changes in vestibular function. As part of a national survey on health...

Does ipratropium responsiveness predict posterior nasal nerve neurectomy/ablation outcomes in chronic rhinitis?

This study’s main objective was to assess whether topical ipratropium response is predictive of subsequent response to posterior nasal nerve (PNN) interventions, including surgical neurectomy or in-office ablation, in chronic rhinitis (CR). This is a retrospective study of adult patients...
