Eight children were submitted to cochlear implantation presenting an acoustic meatus of 1-2mm diameter. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

It presents as canal obstruction and decreased hearing [2]. [oatext.com]

Computer-generated sounds are presented to subjects via earphones, and each presentation triggers a synchronized recording of neural activity. [nap.edu]

Only 20.5% (7 patients) presented with family histories of hearing impairment and only (patient IIb/IIb) presented with a genetic study which tested positive for hearing impairment (gene GJB2 ). [elsevier.es]

• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

  The most common single cause of positional vertigo is so-called "benign paroxysmal positional vertigo" (BPPV). The characteristic complaint is of vertigo, which is severe and relatively brief, after turning in bed. [dartmouth.edu]

• Loss of Speech

  Those with mild hearing losses experience difficulty hearing faint speech or speech from a distance, even in quiet. [nap.edu]

  The requirements regarding his speech must be correlated with his age and the level of his hearing loss. During speech acts, the child must wear a hearing aid, to allow the forming of auditory representations. [giftedforyou.eu]

This article reviews the pertinent anatomy of hearing, clinical workup of acquired hearing loss, and the radiologic appearance of common entities that cause acquired hearing loss. [appliedradiology.com]

All data were collected from patient medical records and stored and managed using the REDCap electronic data capture tools hosted by Children's Hospital Boston. 16 Ct scanning technique and reformats Noncontrast TBCT was performed as part of the workup [jamanetwork.com]

Material Thirty one patients who underwent surgical treatment in the years between 1999-2001, were assessed. [czytelniamedyczna.pl]

[…] cholesteatoma Possible risk factors include steroid use and chemotherapy, with or without local risk factors such as infection or trauma Patients should be advised to report any ear pain, discharge from the ear, or an ear infection during bisphosphonate treatment [gov.uk]

[…] present for successful surgery course of internal carotid artery, and location of the jugular bulb: if abnormal can be hazardous during surgery course of facial nerve : often abnormally anterior and can be damaged during reconstruction Treatment and prognosis [radiopaedia.org]

The most important condition in patient qualification to undergo the auditory canal and middle ear reconstruction is a good prognosis of hearing improvement; postoperative hearing assessment may indicate that it is possible to obtain over 30 dB HL thresholds [czytelniamedyczna.pl]

Carrying out an appropriate audiological and aetiological differential diagnosis when faced with this finding can provide greater perisurgical safety and better knowledge of the physiopathology, clinical evolution and prognosis of some SNHLs. [elsevier.es]

Treatment Prescribed with Response and Prognosis In many cases (especially when the hearing loss is conductive or mixed), medical or surgical treatment is advised. [nap.edu]

[…] hearing loss [5] Causes Genetic [5] Diagnostic method Based on symptoms, X-rays, genetic testing [3] Differential diagnosis Nager syndrome, Miller syndrome, hemifacial microsomia [3] Treatment Reconstructive surgery, hearing aids, speech therapy [6] Prognosis [en.wikipedia.org]

DISCUSSION It is important to make an etiological diagnosis for children with sensorineural hearing loss because procedures can differ if it is a case of malformation. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

Etiology The precise etiology of the failure of EAC canalization is not known. Associations have been postulated between EACA and low birth weight, intrauterine trauma, toxins, or infection. [emedicine.medscape.com]

 Suggested etiologies include-  vascular insufficiency because of its relatively poor blood supply  The micro angiopathy of diabetes  Small arterial emboli have been suggested.  Repeated local trauma is a popular theory, for example ear bud abuse [slideshare.net]

While there may be subtle distinctions between these conditions, the presumed etiology is inflammation. In this condition the vertigo comes on quickly and patients often have severe nausea and can't walk. [dartmouth.edu]

The etiology of the disease is still poorly understood, but it is associated with both genetic and environmental factors. In early stages, the normal bone is replaced with spongy, irregular bone. [appliedradiology.com]

This article reviews the history, etiology, and epidemiology of EACA, as well as the clinical care of children with this condition. EACA was first described in Western medicine by Paulus of Aegina in the seventh century AD. [emedicine.medscape.com]

As already commented, the only epidemiological association is the greater presence of IAC alterations in syndromic children, as is the case with this patient. [elsevier.es]

Epidemiological studies suggest that one third of the causes of hearing loss is hereditary, another third is acquired and the remaining part is idiopathic (7). [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

Pathophysiology The EAC is composed of medial bony and lateral cartilaginous portions. The bony component changes from half of the length of the tubular EAC in children to two thirds of the length of the tubular EAC in adults. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Otitis externa or swimmer’s ear The wax produced in the ear canal is water resistant and also provides an acidic environment in the ear canal that prevents ear infection. [earassociates.com]
