In 185 children receiving unilateral cochlear implants, residual acoustic hearing favored the non-implanted ear in quiet (especially for SSD), but noise attenuated that advantage. Shorter auditory deprivation and longer CI experience reduce
Early cochlear implantation in children with prelingual single-sided deafness improves spatial hearing and cognitive outcomes, supporting neurodevelopment and mitigating risks of auditory deprivation and cortical reorganization.
A retrospective 10‑year series from Perth Children’s Hospital reports heterogeneous long‑term outcomes after pediatric cochlear implantation for single‑sided deafness; earlier implantation (within 1 year) was associated with greater l
In 284,175 US veterans, nonmodifiable pre‑fitting factors—health comorbidity, mental status, prior hearing‑aid experience, age, race/ethnicity, and partnership—were independently associated with 2‑year hearing‑aid use persistence, beyond au
A visual-world eye-tracking study in older adults shows that postlingual hearing loss delays verb-driven semantic prediction—especially under higher listening demand—while simple agent-based prediction is preserved.
A PRISMA systematic review and meta-analysis of 17 studies (2019–2024) found type 2 diabetes is associated with a 4.19-fold greater odds of hearing loss, especially at high frequencies; duration >10 years and higher HbA1c amplified risk.
DB-OTO, a hair-cell-specific dual-AAV gene therapy encoding full-length human otoferlin, achieved dose-dependent and sustained auditory restoration in OTOF-deficient mice, supporting an ongoing Phase I/II pediatric trial.
A Finnish longitudinal study reveals that elevated Epstein-Barr virus antibody levels are significantly associated with persistent oral HPV infections, highlighting potential viral interplay in oropharyngeal oncogenesis risk.
Atezolizumab maintenance therapy after multimodal definitive treatment failed to improve event-free or overall survival in high-risk LA SCCHN patients in the phase 3 IMvoke010 trial, highlighting challenges in immunotherapy for this setting
Regeneron’s DB-OTO gene therapy shows promising results in restoring natural hearing in children with profound hearing loss caused by OTOF gene mutations, with 75% achieving significant hearing improvement after a single treatment.
This study explores how biological sex influences CRS diagnosis and inflammatory biomarkers, revealing sex-specific patterns that could inform personalized treatment.
This study evaluates the safety, effectiveness, and longevity of implant-supported prostheses in disabled patients treated under general anesthesia over 14 years.
This review examines a study on the long-term impact of an oral rehabilitation program on patients with and without tongue cancer, highlighting benefits and clinical implications.
A large prospective study demonstrates that olfactory dysfunction is prevalent and often clinically unrecognized long after SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting the value of formal smell testing in patient care and cognitive risk assessment.
This multinational real-world study reveals limited sensitivity and prognostic value of radiologic extranodal extension (iENE) in HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer, highlighting the enhanced accuracy with combined CT and MRI and the need fo
Imaging-based extranodal extension (iENE) in HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer predicts higher rates of distant metastases and decreased progression-free survival, highlighting its prognostic significance and potential role in refining stag
A new clinical TNM staging proposal incorporating imaging-detected extranodal extension (iENE) refines prognostic accuracy in HPV-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma, aiding risk stratification and future treatment strategies.
An AI-driven model accurately detects imaging-based extranodal extension in HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer from CT scans, improving outcome prediction beyond expert radiologist assessments and identifying patients at higher risk of poore
This study compares partial laryngeal radiotherapy (PLRT) and whole laryngeal radiotherapy (WLRT) in T1-2N0M0/Tis laryngeal carcinoma, demonstrating comparable locoregional control but less acute toxicity with PLRT, though longer follow-up
A recent study reveals that anxiety significantly correlates with increased dizziness severity in patients with vestibular schwannoma, highlighting an underexplored psychological dimension in symptom burden and prompting calls for integrate
