Abstract Objectives To suggest a chart for the diagnosis of probable vestibular migraine for cases that cannot fit the internationally agreed diagnostic criteria. Methods This retrospective study enrolled patients who presented with chronic dizziness and attacks of severe vertigo in whom the diagnostic criteria for diagnosing probable vestibular migraine were not applicable, and there was no possibility to account for other vestibular diagnoses. The trial of vestibular migraine treatment was started without any labyrinthine sedatives for a month. Patients whose conditions improved and were vertigo free for the trial period were included in this study. Common complaints, clinical examination findings, and hearing and vestibular test results were analyzed. Findings observed in more than 50% of the included patients were added to a chart. The chart was implemented with a score and included female gender, bilateral tinnitus, aural fullness, significant headache, family history of migraine, and reported hypotension. Any one of them increased the score by one point, while bilateral low frequencies sensorineural hearing loss and bilateral frequency tuning of cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials increased the score by two points. Results All the patients had a score of 5 or more. Conclusion The diagnostic chart is useful for suggesting probable vestibular migraine in cases that do not comply with the internationally agreed diagnostic criteria.

Abstract Objective Using self-assessment methods to assess hearing handicap in the elderly can play an important role in understanding their disease status and taking action to improve it. Thus, the present study was performed to determine the consistency of two versions hearing handicap inventory for elderly, namely HHIE and HHIE-S, with the degree of hearing loss(HL). Methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 110 elderly aged 60 years and above who referred to hearing clinics in province Khuzestan, Iran in 2019. In order to collect data, HHIE (including 25 questions) and HHIE-S (including 10 questions) were used. Data analysis was done using SPSS ver. 24. Independent sample t-test was used to compare HHIE and HHIE-S scores in terms of the degree of HL. Results The prevalence of mild, moderate and severe degrees of HL was 21.82%, 48.18% and 30.0%, respectively. The majority of the patients suffered from sensorineural hearing loss (77.28%). Comparison of HHIE/HHIE-S total score among patients with different degrees of HL showed statistically significant differences, and patients with a higher degree of hearing loss reported higher hearing handicaps. HHIE and HHIE-S total scores showed a positive large significant correlation (r = 0.815, p < 0.001).Our findings revealed a significant large positive association of the PTA with the total score of HHIE (r = 0.69, p < 0.001) and HHIE-S (r = 0.76, p < 0.001). Conclusions The large correlation between HHIE and HHIE-S measures observed in the current data supports that these two scales can be used interchangeably. These patient reported outcome inventories are congruent with hearing loss level, so they can be used as proper criteria for referring patients to audiologists in health system.
摘要目的采用自评方法对老年人的听力障碍进行评估，对了解老年人的听力障碍状况并采取相应的改善措施具有重要意义。因此，本研究旨在确定HHIE和HHIE- s两种版本的老年人听力障碍量表与听力损失程度(HL)的一致性。方法对2019年在伊朗胡齐斯坦省听力诊所就诊的110名60岁及以上老年人进行横断面研究。为了收集数据，采用HHIE(含25题)和HHIE- s(含10题)。数据分析采用SPSS ver软件。24. 采用独立样本t检验比较HHIE和HHIE- s评分对HL程度的影响。结果轻、中、重度HL患病率分别为21.82%、48.18%和30.0%。以感音神经性听力损失为主(77.28%)。不同程度HL患者HHIE/HHIE- s总分比较差异有统计学意义，听力损失程度越高的患者听力障碍程度越高。HHIE与HHIE- s总分呈显著正相关(r = 0.815, p < 0.001)。我们的研究结果显示PTA与HHIE总分(r = 0.69, p < 0.001)和HHIE- s总分(r = 0.76, p < 0.001)呈显著正相关。结论现有资料中观察到的HHIE和HHIE- s指标之间存在较大的相关性，支持这两种量表可以互换使用。这些患者报告的结果清单与听力损失水平一致，因此它们可以作为将患者转诊到卫生系统听力学家的适当标准。

Abstract Introduction Auditory selective attention can enhance the processing of relevant information and inhibit irrelevant information. The attentional modulation of auditory processing is evidenced through cortical auditory event-related potentials and frequency following response. On the other hand, such attentional effects on brainstem evoked potentials showed mixed results. Hence, the current study aimed to investigate the effect of selective attention on Auditory Brainstem Response. Methods Sixteen young adults with bilateral normal hearing sensitivity were recruited for the study, and their auditory brainstem responses were recorded using IHS Smart EP version 3.92 for active listening, passive listening with the visual task, and passive listening with visual distracter conditions. Results The statistical analysis of the wave-V latency and amplitude obtained from three conditions revealed no effect on the latency; however, peak V amplitude was lower in passive listening with visual distractor condition than in active listening and passive listening with visual task condition. Further attentional modulation was seen only on the contralateral montage and not on the ipsilateral montage. Conclusion The current study results demonstrate the attentional modulation at earlier stages of auditory processing as evidenced by the increased amplitude of peak V.

Abstract Objective: Cochlear implant (CI) candidate selection is a lengthy, complicated process that entails subjective judgment on the interaction of multiple pre-operative variables. It is assumed that setting a scoring system for the process of CI candidate selection would help in precise and reliable decision making. This would also provide a tool that would help in providing a better quality of life for CI patients. Methods: Retrospective cohort study was held out in three post-CI rehabilitation centers. A total of 100 children records were analyzed with two statistical methods; conventional and Artificial Intelligence (AI) using Machine Learning. Language age deficit, phonological deficit, and social deficit were invented as new measures of CI performance; used to represent the developmental delay of those children in a single numeric value (in months). Results: Artificial Intelligence analysis surpassed conventional statistical methods for the prediction of the outcome measures of post-CI performance. This was clearly expressed using linear regression models. The AI classification model validation for predictive accuracy of language age deficit, phonological deficit, and social deficit were 56.66%, 88.11%, and 40.46% respectively. Conclusion: The production of a preliminary CI scoring model used for prediction of performance of patients was achieved. More data should be collected and fed to the software in order to improve its performance.

Abstract Objective Visually induced Motion Sickness (VIMS) is a side effect induced by the physical motion of the person or visual motion that adversely affects otherwise individuals and decreases safety in situations that require high levels of concentration. The exact mechanisms behind the emergence of VIMS are still unknown but can be triggered by direct or indirect stimuli due to mismatches in the visual-vestibular autonomic pathways. The aim of this preliminary study was to explore the presence of visual dysfunctions in patients suffering from VIMS and then evaluate the potential role of a customized visual training (VT) on their perceived sickness symptoms. Methods A total of 9.675 medical records of patients who referred motion sickness were reviewed; 455 patients with a diagnosis of VIMS were included. A total of 95 patients (86 females and 9 males, mean age of 37,68 ± 9.20 years) met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in this study. Two evaluation sessions were carried out immediately before (T0) and after 16 weeks (T1) of visual training (VT). The main goal of VT was to facilitate the visual center-periphery integration. VT was performed 1 day/week/16 weeks under therapist supervision in the Optometric centre and 5 days/week/16 weeks at home without supervision. Results The within-subjects comparison at times T0–T1 showed significant improvement of the symptoms in all the included patients. Conclusion Our results support the hypothesis that patients suffering from VIMS may present also a visual function impairment that can increase the dizziness-related symptoms. Furthermore, visual training can help patients with VIMS and visual dysfunction in reducing capture discomfort, stomach awareness, and nausea.

Abstract Objective Cervicogenic dizziness is currently excluded from diagnosis because of the insufficient understanding of the causes underlying this condition. To solve this problem, it is necessary to understand the cause of cervicogenic dizziness. Methods Literature research in PubMed and google scholar. Results The total number of included studies was 59. Conclusion Cervicogenic dizziness is a topic of debate. Among patients with dizziness, some patients frequently complain of lightheadedness, headache, and pain along with dizziness rather than true vertigo. Many clinicians mention that representative symptoms of cervicogenic dizziness are difficult to identify because these symptoms may be caused by other diseases. This study explained the causes of cervicogenic dizziness by dividing them into three categories (neuro-vascular problem, spine disease and soft tissue problems caused by with or without trauma) and six factors (sympathetic dysfunction, vertebrobasilar insufficiency, cervical degenerative disease, rheumatoid arthritis, accidents with trauma, and abnormal posture without trauma).

Purpose: Autistic individuals frequently experience sensory processing difficulties. Such difficulties can significantly impact important functions and quality of life. We are only beginning to understand the neural mechanisms of atypical sensory processing. However, one established way to measure aspects of auditory function is the auditory brainstem response (ABR). While ABR has been primarily hypothesized thus far as a means of early detection/diagnosis in autism, it has the potential to aid in examining sensory processing in this population.
Method: Thus, we investigated standard ABR waveform characteristics in age-matched groups of autistic and typically developing children during various stimulus and intensity conditions. We also examined within ear waveform cross correlations and inter-aural cross correlations (IACC) to assess replicability and synchrony of participants' ABRs, which was a novel approach to ABR analysis in this population.
Results: We observed longer peak latencies (esp. wave III and V) and interpeak latencies in the autism and typically developing groups in different conditions. There were no statistically significant results in cross correlation or IACC.
Conclusions: These results suggest that brainstem auditory function may differ slightly, but is mostly similar, between autistic and typically developing children. We discuss these findings in terms of their implications for sensory processing and future utility.
目的：自闭症患者经常会遇到感官处理方面的困难。这些困难会严重影响重要功能和生活质量。我们才刚刚开始了解非典型感觉处理的神经机制。然而，听觉脑干反应（ABR）是测量听觉功能的一种既定方法。迄今为止，ABR 主要被假定为自闭症早期检测/诊断的一种手段，但它也有可能帮助研究自闭症患者的感觉处理过程：因此，我们研究了自闭症儿童和发育正常儿童在不同刺激和强度条件下的标准 ABR 波形特征。我们还检查了耳内波形交叉相关性和耳际交叉相关性（IACC），以评估参与者 ABR 的可复制性和同步性，这是在该人群中进行 ABR 分析的一种新方法：我们观察到自闭症组和典型发育组在不同条件下的峰值潜伏期（尤其是第三波和第五波）和峰间潜伏期更长。在交叉相关性或 IACC 方面没有统计学意义的结果：这些结果表明，自闭症儿童和发育正常儿童的脑干听觉功能可能略有不同，但大多相似。我们将从这些发现对感觉处理和未来用途的影响角度对其进行讨论。

Abstract Background During the process of learning to read, the dorsal pathway assesses the visual word form area (VWFA) in focussing on each letter and its sequence. Children with learning difficulty such as dyslexia have immature processing in these areas of the brain. The aim of the study is to modify the dynamic perceptual test to increase its diagnostic value to differentiate between dyslexic and non-dyslexic children. Methods Forty children were included divided into two subgroups, control group consists of 20 good reading skills children and study group consists of 20 dyslexic children according to the Arabic version of the dyslexia assessment. All children underwent psychometric, dyslexic evaluation, Phonological awareness skills assessment and the modified dynamic visual perception. Results There was statistically significant different between groups on saccadic and distractor tasks. The performance of control children was better than dyslexic children for identification of the optotype presented to them as well as the colour of the arrow. Conclusion The distractor direction and colour was the most specific in the modified dynamic perception in differentiating dyslexic from non-dyslexic children.

Children with learning difficulty such as dyslexia have immature processing in these areas of the brain. The aim of the study is to modify the dynamic perceptual test to increase its diagnostic value to differentiate between dyslexic and non-dyslexic children. Methods Forty children were included divided into two subgroups, control group consists of 20 good reading skills children and study group consists of 20 dyslexic children according to the Arabic version of the dyslexia assessment. All children underwent psychometric, dyslexic evaluation, Phonological awareness skills assessment and the modified dynamic visual perception. Results There was statistically significant different between groups on saccadic and distractor tasks. The performance of control children was better than dyslexic children for identification of the optotype presented to them as well as the colour of the arrow. Conclusion The distractor direction and colour was the most specific in the modified dynamic perception in differentiating dyslexic from non-dyslexic children.","PeriodicalId":43765,"journal":{"name":"Hearing Balance and Communication","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74891975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
