Background: Tinnitus is a prevalent auditory disorder that frequently co-occurs with hearing loss. It is suggested that tinnitus might have negative impact on speech perception. However, studies thus far have not been able to disentangle tinnitus, hearing loss, and speech in noise intelligibility. We therefore investigated whether there is an association between tinnitus and speech understanding in noise, independent of hearing loss. Methods: Of 4,211 participants from the population-based...

Objectives: To examine the effect of aging on electrically evoked compound action potential (eCAP) growth functions and their relationship with speech recognition in noise in cochlear implant (CI) users. Background: Aging typically leads to difficulty understanding speech in background noise. Previous research has explored cognitive and central auditory mechanisms contributing to these age-related changes. However, it is likely that the peripheral auditory system may also play a role. One...

Translating bone regeneration induced by recombinant human bone morphogenetic proteins from animal models to human patients has proven inexplicably inconsistent. This prompted us to test in 5 pediatric patients, an alternative osteoinductive morphogen, recombinant human transforming growth factor β3 (rhTGF-β3), to reconstruct mandibular defects of such a size to preclude reconstruction with autologous bone. An osteoinductive implant of human demineralized bone matrix (DBM) loaded with 125 μg rhTGF-β3...

Midface advancement by distraction osteogenesis (DO) is commonly performed in patients with craniosynostosis for indications including midface hypoplasia, exorbitism, obstructive sleep apnea, class III malocclusion, and overall aesthetic facial deficiency.1 There is evidence to suggest that maxillary LeFort I advancement increases the risk of velopharyngeal dysfunction in the cleft palate population,2,3 yet few studies have investigated changes in speech following LeFort III or monobloc midface advancement...

Nasal septal deviation (NSD) is a common condition in otorhinolaryngology practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible relationship between localization and severity of NSD, and related complaints as well as to suggest a simplified assessment method for NSD. Seventy-five patients who complaint nasal obstruction were enrolled this study. The affected nasal cavity was divided into 4 separate sections as follows: antero-superior (AS), antero-inferior (AI), postero-superior (PS), and...

Barbed thread lifting is a widely used method because it is easier to learn, faster, and the lower frequency of complications than the invasive lifting technique. The number of reported cases about complication requiring an invasive procedure is very small, and most cases are limited to minor complications. The authors introduce a chronic, recurrent epidermal inclusion cyst that occurs after Barbed thread lifting. A 61-year-old woman visited the hospital with recurrent inflammation and scar accompanied...
