2. 1. Children with congenital unilateral sensorineural hearing loss : etiology, newborn diagnostics, and hearing aid amplification

   Author : Marlin Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Congenital unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (uSNHL) comprises about 25% of the sensorineural hearing losses (SNHLs) found through newborn hearing screening (NHS) programs. Even if children with congenital uSNHL struggle in school and everyday listening situations, studies on etiology, hearing aid (HA) outcomes and intervention are few, so it is still unknown when and how intervention is optimally provided.

4. 2. Bone anchored hearing aids 'BAHAs' in children

   Author : Claudia Priwin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : BAHA; conductive hearing loss; unilateral hearing loss; children; audiometry; sound localization; speech audiometry; self-assessment; questionnaire; craniofacial abnormalities;

   Abstract : BACKGROUND: The technique for applying bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHAs) by the use of osseointegration is today widely established for both adults and children. The BAHA concept is suitable for patients with recurrent ear infections or car malformations who cannot use conventional hearing aids, which are placed altogether or partially in the ear canal.

   Abstract : Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a slow growing benign tumour originating in the Schwann cells surrounding the vestibulocochlear nerve. Over recent decades, the incidence rate for VS has steadily increased, with greater numbers of patients with smaller tumours being diagnosed. READ MORE

6. 4. Hearing in children with cleft palate

   Author : Birgitta Tengroth; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Objective: The overall aim of this thesis was to collect longitudinal information about hearing thresholds and complications due to otitis media with effusion (OME) in children with cleft palate. Since OME is highly prevalent in children with cleft palate, many authors have hypothesized that the hearing loss associated to OME contributes to the delayed development of early speech and language often seen in these children.

7. 5. Contribution of Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP Test) to the Evaluation of Patients with Idiopathic Sudden Hearing Loss

   Author : Georgios Stamatiou; Greece Athens National & Kapodistrian University of Athens School of Medicine; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Objective: To evaluate Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) testing results in patients with unilateral Idiopathic Sudden Hearing Loss (ISHL) and to correlate them with the findings of caloric testing, the clinical appearance of vertigo, the influence of age, the grade and type of initial hearing loss and finally, the early recovery of subjects.Materials andMethods: One hundred and four (104) patients with unilateral ISHL and 35 healthy controls were subjected to a standard protocol of neurotological evaluation.
