To analyze health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and audiological results after stapes surgery using a Nitinol Head Prosthesis (NHP).

Prospective evaluation of disease-specific quality of life measurements after stapes surgery using Nitinol Head Prostheses.

In patients with cleft palate, a high incidence of chronic obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is assumed after surgery. Consequently, an increased rate of retracted eardrum or cholesteatoma is expected. Even though no common standard for investigating ETD is available, the development of objective tests has increased during the past 10 years. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of persisting chronic obstructive ETD in adult patients with cleft palate surgically treated in early childhood by using a combination of diagnostic tools.

A "gold standard" for quantitatively diagnosing inner ear malformations (IEMs) and a consensus on normative measurements are lacking. Reference ranges and cutoff values of inner ear dimensions may add in distinguishing IEM types. This study evaluates the volumes of the cochlea and vestibular system in different types of IEM.

Cochlear and Vestibular Volumes in Inner Ear Malformations.

A narrow bony internal auditory canal (IAC) may be associated with a hypoplastic cochlear nerve and poorer hearing performances after cochlear implantation. However, definitions for a narrow IAC vary widely and commonly, qualitative grading or two-dimensional measures are used to characterize a narrow IAC. We aimed to refine the definition of a narrow IAC by determining IAC volume in both control patients and patients with inner ear malformations (IEMs).

Internal auditory canal volume in normal and malformed inner ears.

Enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) is a common finding associated with inner ear malformations (IEM). However, uniform radiologic definitions for EVA are missing and various 2D-measurement methods to define EVA have been reported. This study evaluates VA volume in different types of IEM and compares 3D-reconstructed VA volume to 2D-measurements.

Volumetry improves the assessment of the vestibular aqueduct size in inner ear malformation.

We hypothesize that visualizing inner-ear systematically in both cochlear view (oblique coronal plane) and in mid-modiolar section (axial plane) and following three sequential steps simplifies, identification of inner-ear malformation types.

A novel three-step process for the identification of inner ear malformation types.

Menière's Syndrome Associated With Fibrous Dysplasia of the Temporal Bone.

Chronic otitis media (COM) can lead to significant impairment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) due to symptoms such as otorrhea, pain, hearing loss, tinnitus, or dizziness. A systematic assessment of HRQoL in COM is becoming increasingly important as it complements (semi-)objective outcome parameters in clinical practice and research. HRQoL is measured by means of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). There are two disease-specific validated PROMs available for COM in German-the Chronic Otitis Media Outcome Test (COMOT-15) and the Zurich Chronic Middle Ear Inventory (ZCMEI-21)-which have become increasingly popular in recent years.

In cochlear implantation with flexible lateral wall electrode arrays, a cochlear coverage (CC) range between 70% and 80% is considered ideal for optimal speech perception. To achieve this CC, the cochlear implant (CI) electrode array has to be chosen according to the individual cochlear duct length (CDL). Here, we mathematically analyzed the suitability of different flexible lateral wall electrode array lengths covering between 70% and 80% of the CDL.
