Single-Sided Deafness: Emotional and Social Handicap, Impact on Health Status and Quality of Life, Functional Hearing, and the Effects of Cochlear Implantation
Conclusion Our findings demonstrate that SSD reduces social and psychological QoL and imposes a remarkable level of handicap as per general and specific self-assessments tool. CI provided a significant improvement in function including speech understanding in noise and localization ability, as well as improved QoL and reduced tinnitus significantly in both the early and long terms.

Clinical Impact of Genetic Diagnosis of Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Adults
Conclusion NGS gene panels can provide diagnostic yields greater than 20% for adult SNHL, with a significant proportion of variant of unknown significance that could potentially contribute to increasing diagnostic output. Identifying a genetic cause enables genetic counseling, provides prognostic information and can reveal unrecognized syndromes contributing to an accurate management of their associated manifestations.

Standardization of Outcome Measures for Intratympanic Steroid Treatment for Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Objective To identify variability in reported hearing outcomes for intratympanic (IT) steroid treatment of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) by comparing outcomes using the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) guideline with other published criteria. Study Design Retrospective chart review. Setting Tertiary otology practice. Patients Patients with ISSNHL treated with IT steroid between April 2003 and December 2020. Interventions IT steroid injection and audiometric evaluation. Main Outcome Measures 1) Rates of full, partial, or no re...

Improving the Hearing Status Discrimination of the Health Utilities Index, Mark 3: Design of the Hearing Status Classification System
Conclusion The novel HUI-hearing is part of a comprehensive health utility instrument designed for individuals with hearing loss. Pending derivation of a hearing single attribute utility function and evaluation of measurement properties, our innovative approach could be used to improve health utility measurement for impairments described by any of the other HUI-3 attributes.

Radiologic Features in Cochlear Implant Candidates: A Prospective Study Comparing Candidates Carrying the p.Pro51Ser Mutation in Coagulation Factor C Homology With Noncarriers
Conclusion The present study supplements previous data that endorse the hypothesis that focal sclerosis of semicircular canals are biomarkers of advanced vestibular deterioration, especially in DFNA9.

Combined Arterial and Venous Phase Computed Tomographic Imaging of the Skull Base in Pulsatile Tinnitus
Conclusion In a large consecutive series of patients with PT referred for CT venography/arteriography, transverse sinus stenosis was the most common finding at 59%. Venous etiologies for PT should be suspected when patients are referred to neurotologists for evaluation.

Is Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss Seasonal?
Conclusion The ISSNHL incidence was lowest during the winter season in our cohort and reported for other cohorts worldwide. Google Trends–based model analysis did not determine any circannual rhythm.

Impact of an Endolymphatic Sac Tumor on Subjective and Objective Audiovestibular Function
Conclusion A characteristic pattern of abnormal caloric findings, refixation saccades, and normal vestibulo-ocular reflex gain alongside sensorineural hearing loss on the tumor ear was identified. Asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss in any patient should lead to objective vestibular evaluation to strengthen not only a targeted tumor surveillance strategy and the indication for imaging, but also the design of vestibular rehabilitation. In addition, vestibular findings may guide the choice of surgical approach.

(Even Off-Label) Cochlear Implantation in Single-Sided Deafness and Asymmetric Hearing Loss Results in Measurable Objective and Subjective Benefit
Conclusions Cochlear implantation is a viable option with measurable objective and perceived benefits for recipients with preoperative aided CNC word scores exceeding current FDA labeling. There is no significant difference between the AHL and SSD groups, suggesting that candidacy and outcome expectations should be set based on the ear to be implanted alone, without regard for the ability of the better hearing ear.

Histopathology of Labyrinthitis Ossificans From an Intralabyrinthine Surgical Specimen
Conclusions Histopathology of LO based on a surgical sample is comparable to heterotopic ossification (HO) seen in other human tissue. Given the similarities between LO and HO, agents effective in preventing HO may have utility in preventing LO.

Hearing Health Perceptions and Literacy Among Primary Healthcare Providers in the United States: A National Cross-Sectional Survey
Conclusion Despite widespread literacy of what constitutes normal blood pressure, total cholesterol, body mass index, blood glucose, and vision metrics, healthcare providers exhibit a poor understanding of normal hearing levels. Few providers prioritize hearing health or regularly recommend for annual hearing evaluation. Most providers believe that options for people with hearing loss are limited, which may have important implications for prioritizing discussion of hearing loss with patients.

Association Between Tinnitus and Hypertension: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Conclusions Tinnitus is associated with hypertension in younger age groups of 20 to 39 years of age but not in age groups greater than 40 years. Diabetes is also associated with hypertension in individuals aged 20 to 69 years. This finding of tinnitus as a risk factor for hypertension in younger populations may inform better clinical practice and lead to earlier detection of hypertension in at-risk patients.

Dural Venous Sinus Arachnoid Granulations in Patients with Pulsatile Tinnitus
Objective To determine the relationship, if any, between dural venous sinus arachnoid granulations (AGs) and pulsatile tinnitus. Study Design Retrospective case-control study. Methods Between October 1999 and March 2020, magnetic resonance imaging of patients with tinnitus (pulsatile [PT] and nonpulsatile [NPT]) were assessed for the presence of dural venous sinuses AG. During the same interval, patients with AGs found incidentally on all magnetic resonance imagings ordered without an indication of tinnitus were reviewed. Demographic variables recorded included patient age, sex, race, body mass index, and...
