Case report: Can cochlear implant stimulation lead to improved balance even after vestibular neurectomy?
DiscussionVestibular co-stimulation as a side effect of CI stimulation could not be the explanation in this case due to the ipsilateral vestibular neurectomy. It is more likely that the results can be attributed to the electrically restored auditory input, which serves as an external reference for maintaining balance and spatial orientation. In addition, this patient experienced disturbing tinnitus whenever her CI was deactivated. It is thus plausible that the tinnitus increased her cognitive load, which was already increased because of the BVP, leading to an increased imbalance in the absence of CI stimulation.

Causes and outcomes of revision surgery in subjects with pulsatile tinnitus
DiscussionThe possibility of recurrence should be taken into account when performing surgical intervention in patients with PT. The likelihood of recurrence can be minimized through a comprehensive evaluation to identify possible multiple etiologies, and through the use of durable materials and appropriate surgical methods.

Cluster and network analysis of non-headache symptoms in migraine patients reveals distinct subgroups based on onset age and vestibular-cochlear symptom interconnection
ConclusionUtilizing clustering and network analysis, we have identified two distinct non-headache symptom structures of migraine patients with early-onset age and late-onset age. Our findings suggest that the vestibular-cochlear symptoms may differ in the context of different onset ages of migraine patients, which may contribute to a better understanding of the pathology of vestibular-cochlear symptoms in migraine.

Endocannabinoid system components as potential neuroimmune therapeutic targets in tinnitus
Research interest in understanding tinnitus has increased severalfold in the last decade to find a cure for this auditory disorder. Hyperacusis can also accompany tinnitus, although the mechanisms involved in hyperacusis and tinnitus are different. Millions of people suffer from some degree of tinnitus with hearing loss. Tinnitus is believed to be a form of sensory epilepsy, spawning neuronal hyperactivity from the cochlear nucleus and inferior colliculus of the auditory brainstem region. Cannabis has been used for recreation, medicinal purposes, and served as an entheogen from time immemorial. With the current and increas...

Characteristics and prognostic analysis of simultaneous bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss
ConclusionPatients with Si-BSSNHL had mild deafness, elevated total and indirect bilirubin and homocysteine levels, and poorer prognosis than those with USSNHL. Audiogram curve type was linked to the therapeutic effect of Si-BSSNHL, and the sloping type was an independent risk factor for a poor prognosis in the right ear of Si-SSNHL.

Clinical features and prognosis of pediatric idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss: A bi-center retrospective study
ConclusionsThe present study showed that accompanying tinnitus, the severity of initial hearing loss, the time elapse and the audiogram configuration might be related to the prognosis of pediatric SSNHL. Meanwhile, the presence of vertigo, lower lymphocytes and higher PLR were associated with worse severity.

Comprehensive conservative treatment for multiple metastases of skull osteosarcoma: A case report
ConclusionWe found that multiple conservative treatments, which include Denosumab, Anlotinib and DIA chemotherapy, can improve patients' life quality, and help avoid further osteolytic destruction for patients with skull osteosarcoma and multiple metastases. Its specific mechanism and scope of the application still need to be further studied.

Effects of auditory rehabilitation with cochlear implant on tinnitus prevalence and distress, health-related quality of life, subjective hearing and psychological comorbidities: Comparative analysis of patients with asymmetric hearing loss (AHL), double-sided (bilateral) deafness (DSD), and single-sided (unilateral) deafness (SSD)
DiscussionOur results demonstrate significant differences between the three groups of CI candidates, which might affect the implantation outcome. These differences suggest a need for personalized psychological counseling during the auditory rehabilitation process, focusing on anxiety and depressive symptoms for SSD and AHL patients.

Audiological and psychological assessment of tinnitus patients with normal hearing
ConclusionTinnitus in patients with normal hearing may be accompanied by a combination of various subclinical abnormal audiological findings. However, the presence of psychiatric symptoms alone was independently associated with tinnitus distress.

Acupuncture decreases amygdala functional connectivity in subjective tinnitus
This study aimed to investigate the changes in functional connectivity (FC) of AMYG in subjective tinnitus to elucidate the neural mechanism of acupuncture.MethodsCorrelation scale scores of 26 patients with subjective tinnitus were collected, including Tinnitus Evaluation Questionnaire (TEQ), Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Meanwhile, rs-fMRI data were collected before and after acupuncture treatment in the patients, and in healthy controls (HC) matching the patient's gender and age. Then, AMYG was selected as region of interest to perform FC analysis. Finally, FC patterns of AMYG were fir...

One-year prevalence and clinical characteristics in chronic dizziness: The 2019 –2020 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
ConclusionsIn this study, the prevalence of chronic dizziness in the general population was 4.8%. Our study demonstrated that overweight and mild obesity were independently associated with a lower risk of chronic dizziness in adults for the past year. Therefore, the optimal BMI for patients with dizziness should be defined and managed according to an integrated care pathway.

Effects of acupuncture on the outcome of tinnitus: An overview of systematic reviews
ConclusionAcupuncture seems to be a positive and effective treatment for tinnitus. However, the methodological quality and quality of evidence for SRs/MAs in the included studies were generally low, and this result must be viewed with caution. Therefore, more high-quality, large-scale, multi-center randomized controlled trials are needed in the future to verify the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of tinnitus.
