Presentation
The present paper describes a case of WS associated with bilateral conductive hearing loss which was not related to secretory otitis media. Hyperacusis was, moreover, present in spite of the conductive deafness. [link.springer.com]
A number of pathologies can present with this finding, including labyrinthitis, ischemia, and intralabyrinthine schwannomas. Vertigo is typically a prominent presenting symptom along with SNHL. [appliedradiology.com]
It is difficult to diagnose because the disease presents like other chronic suppurative otitis media. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Fifty-three loci have presently been reported. The 17 deafness forms for which the genes have been identified are presented. [ommbid.mhmedical.com]
Otitis media without infection presents a special problem because symptoms of pain and fever are usually not present. Therefore, weeks and even months can go by before parents suspect a problem. [asha.org]

Grommets often fall out as the eardrum heals (after around 6-12 months), and if the Glue Ear comes back another procedure under general anaesthetic to replace the grommets may be necessary, and this may happen several times. [clapa.com]
The wax often accumulates, dries out and falls out of the ear, carrying dirt and dust with it. This is healthy in normal amounts and also coats the skin of the ear canal and acts as a water repellant. [tinnitusformula.com]

Furthermore, if they did not have any deleterious effects with regard to speech and language development, they often fall into the category of treatment where we do nothing. [audiologyonline.com]
This occurs if the scab in the operative area falls off prematurely. Bleeding may occur in about 1-4% of patients and seems to be more frequent with age. [ccent.com]

Hyperacusis was, moreover, present in spite of the conductive deafness. Surgical or prosthetic treatment of hearing loss was delayed because of hyperacusis. [link.springer.com]

Workup
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]
Treatment
Name withheld, April 2018 A massive relief to have a correct diagnosis after 10 years or more treatment. We are obviously concerned about the forthcoming treatment but grateful to finally see an end in sight. [earsandhearinguk.com]
Treatment Treatment consists of management of the underlying problem and aggressive local debridement. Topical and systemic antifungals are used as needed. [emedicine.medscape.com]
The only treatment that has proved effective (supported by double-blind trials) is corticosteroid treatment-usually Prednisone or Prednisolone. [hearinglosshelp.com]
Surgical or prosthetic treatment of hearing loss was delayed because of hyperacusis. Treatment of the hyperacusis by acoustic training, instead, yielded excellent, long-lasting remission of the symptoms. [link.springer.com]

Prognosis
In patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis, unifocal disease has good prognosis and responds well to local treatment. Multifocal disease also responds well to the treatment. Disseminated disease has a bad prognosis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention
IS EXOSTOSIS PREVENTABLE? Exostosis is preventable by following some basic safety precautions. [californiaearinstitute.com]
Any obstruction can prevent sounds from passing through the middle ear and cause hearing loss. A buildup of wax, fluid in the middle ear, or a hole in the ear drum can each cause conductive hearing loss. [starkey.com]
Presbycusis can be prevented but once it occurs it joins the stable of other causes of sensorineural hearing loss and becomes permanent. [tinnitusformula.com]
