1. Complications of Transcutaneous Protheses – A Systematic Review of Publications Over the Past 10 Years
Abstract Introduction Bone conduction implants, responsible for transmitting sound from an external processor to the inner ear, can be divided into active and passive, depending on the vibratory stimulus location. The use of transcutaneous device has increased, given its aesthetic appeal, the complications and limitations of percutaneous devices, and patien

2. Effect of a boomerang-shaped Conchal cartilage graft for Type three Tympanoplasty on Hearing
Abstract Introduction Chronic suppurative otitis media atticoantral disease (CSOM-AAD) is often associated with ossicular erosion resulting in significant hearing loss. Absence of the stapes suprastructure is a poor prognostic indicator of hearing outcome, which necessitates an effective reconstruction technique for ossicular continuity and restoration of m

3. Implantable and Semi-Implantable Hearing Aids: A Review of History, Indications, and Surgery
Introduction The complaints associated with the use of conventional amplifying hearing aids prompted research at several centers worldwide that ultimately led to the development of implantable devices for aural rehabilitation. Objectives To review the history, indications, and surgical aspects of the implantable middle ear hearing devices. Data Synthesi

4. Invasive aspergillosis in a user of inhaled cocaine: rhinosinusitis with bone and cartilage destruction
Aspergillosis is an infection caused by saprophytic fungi of the genus Aspergillus, which typically occurs in immunosuppressed individuals, but has also been reported in immunocompetent patients. The main routes of entry are the respiratory tract, skin, cornea, and ear, and the infection may be localized or disseminated by contiguity or vascular invasion. We

5. Development of digital behind-the-ear hearing aid with minimal specifications / Desenvolvimento de prótese auditiva retroauricular, digital e de especificações mínimas
The International Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (IFOS) estimates as 10% the total amount of hearing impaired in United States. The Better Hearing Institute asserts that in United States about 31 million people have hearing losses in some degree, say around 10% of total population. Increasing the amount of hearing-impaired there is a list o

6. "Análise comparativa entre sistemas de retenção para próteses auriculares implanto-retidas" / Comparative analyses between retentive systems for implant-retained ear prosthesis
As próteses auriculares retidas por meio de implantes osseointegráveis proporcionam maior segurança e conforto, melhorando a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Este trabalho avalia comparativamente a força de resistência à tração dos sistemas de retenção barra/2 clipes, barra/3 clipes, 2 magnetos, e 3 magnetos, empregados para retenção de prótese

7. Neurotrophic factor intervention restores auditory function in deafened animals
A primary cause of deafness is damage of receptor cells in the inner ear. Clinically, it has been demonstrated that effective functionality can be provided by electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve, thus bypassing damaged receptor cells. However, subsequent to sensory cell loss there is a secondary degeneration of the afferent nerve fibers, resulting i

8. Closing sounds and related complaints after heart valve replacement with St Jude Medical, Duromedics Edwards, Björk-Shiley Monostrut, and Carbomedics prostheses.
OBJECTIVE--To measure the noise produced and related subjective complaints after implantation of four different mechanical heart valve prostheses and to identify further factors related to the patient and prosthesis that influence noise generation and complaints. DESIGN--Sound pressure was measured 5 and 10 cm and 1 m from the point of maximal impulse on the
