Abstract Objective Our aim was to look for the association of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with subjective noise sensitivity (SNS) in the audiologically and perceptually normal hearing subjects since HRQoL was suggested as a tool during the intervention of the hearing impaired people. Methods The audiological evaluation was first done in the subjects who were enrolled from the previous study in which Weinstein Noise Sensitivity Scale (WNSS) was adapted to Turkish. Then, the Short Form-36 (SF-36) scores were determined and the relationships of WNSS score with the SF-36 scores were analysed in respect to gender, age, audiological variables. Results Of 210, 124 subjects (M:44; F:80) were taken to the study. WNSS score presented no gender difference and correlation with age and audiological variables. It was found that WNSS score was significantly correlated with emotional and mental domains of HRQoL in women and physical and social functioning in men. Role limitations due to physical health, mental health, role limitations due to emotional problems, social functioning, vitality and mental composite scores were significantly lower in the upper SNS subgroup. Conclusion It was revealed that SNS was strongly associated with HRQoL in perceptionally and audiologically normal hearing males and females via different domains. Therefore, in case of using HRQoL in audiological care, our data suggest that SNS should be taken into account.

Objective We used the numeric vertical line test (NVLT) to analyze perceptual accuracy and precision of verticality at various life stages in a healthy population and compared the results of the NVLT with tests of verticality. Methods This cross-sectional study involved three participant groups: (a) 50 children, (b) 50 adults, and (c) 50 older adults. Each participant underwent three tests: (a) the NVLT, (b) the subjective visual vertical (SVV), and (c) the subjective haptic vertical (SHV). The test results for each age group were compared using analysis of variance, and Pearson's correlation coefficients were used to evaluate correlations between all tests. Results In the accuracy analysis, children (p = 0.003) and older adults (p = 0.003) were found to show lower accuracy on the NVLT than adults; children had lower accuracy on the SVV test than adults (p = 0.0008); and children (p < 0.001) and older adults (p = 0.04) had lower accuracy on the SHV test than adults. In the precision analysis, children (p = 0.006) and older adults (p = 0.006) were found to have lower precision on the NVLT than adults; children (p = 0.002) and older adults (p = 0.003) had lower precision on the SVV test than adults; and children (p = 0.0009) and older adults (p = 0.0006) had lower precision on the SHV than adults. Only the NVLT and SVV showed a significant association in adults (r = 0.57; p = 0.02). Conclusion Children and older adults showed less accurate verticality perceptions and lower precision levels for spatial-number displacement and visual and proprioceptive verticalities than adults.

Abstract Introduction Understanding the physiology of the caloric stimulation of the vestibular end organ was a seminal discovery in the history of neurotology. Robert Barany has been traditionally credited with this (1906). However, well before Barany, three scientists observed, qualified and quantified a similar phenomenon with different explanations. They were Charles Edouard Brown Sequard (1858), A Bornhardt (1876) and Benno Baginsky (1881). Materials and methods Articles with key words containing ‘caloric test’ and the ‘vestibular system’ were searched and studied from a historical perspective in scientific research repositories and journals on the history of medicine. Contemporaneous articles of the three scientists were analysed and inferences drawn. Results and discussion Charles Edouard Brown Sequard noticed the caloric effect on the ear causing giddiness in 1853, A Bornhardt observed nystagmus on application of ice cold water/hot iron rod to the semicircular canals in 1876 and Benno Baginsky in 1881 identified the correct pressure/temperature on the external/middle ear to elicit a caloric response. They also stumbled across key observations of vestibular physiology which were later confirmed in the 20th century. Conclusions This paper resurrects the works of these three forgotten pioneers and their contributions to our understanding of the physiology of the vestibular system.
了解前庭末端器官的热量刺激的生理学是神经学历史上的一个重大发现。罗伯特·巴兰尼(Robert Barany)一直被认为是这一点的始祖(1906年)。然而，早在Barany之前，三位科学家就用不同的解释观察、定性和量化了一个类似的现象。他们分别是查尔斯·爱德华·布朗·塞卡尔(1858年)、A·伯恩哈特(1876年)和本诺·巴金斯基(1881年)。材料与方法从历史的角度对医学研究文献库和期刊中含有“热量试验”和“前庭系统”等关键词的文章进行检索和研究。对这三位科学家同时代的文章进行了分析并得出了推论。Charles Edouard Brown Sequard于1853年注意到热量对耳朵的影响导致眩晕，A Bornhardt于1876年在半圆管上应用冰水/热铁棒观察到眼球震颤，Benno Baginsky于1881年确定了外耳/中耳上的正确压力/温度以引起热量反应。他们还偶然发现了前庭生理学的关键观察结果，这些观察结果后来在20世纪得到了证实。本文回顾了这三位被遗忘的先驱的工作，以及他们对我们理解前庭系统生理学的贡献。

Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the audiology students' opinions regarding their occupational perspective and their future expectations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods The study included 608 participants consisting of undergraduate and graduate students. Two question forms were used in the study. “Audiology students' opinions regarding their occupational perspective during the COVID-19 pandemic” containing 10 questions and “Audiology students' opinions regarding their future expectations” containing 8 questions were assessed. Results While the COVID-19 pandemic did not affect employment opportunities in the field of audiology, it significantly contributed to the increase of professional risks. Online education did not contribute to the learning process and professional competencies. More graduate students stated that the COVID-19 did not affect employment opportunities and increased professional risks but facilitated access to information compared to undergraduate students (p < .05). Undergraduate students stated that COVID-19 contributed more to the reconsideration of career plans and opinions about the profession compared to graduate students (p < .05). COVID-19 pandemic had a more negative effect on graduate students' future expectations compared to undergraduate students (p < .05). Conclusion To our view, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively influenced the occupational perspective of audiology students but did not affect their future expectations. While this process affected the career plan and perspective on the audiology profession of undergraduate students, it negatively impacted the professional risk perception and future expectations of graduate students.

Abstract Objective This pilot case-control study is aimed to estimate ‘musical effort’ and ‘musical pleasantness’ in adults normal hearing (NH) and Unilateral Cochlear Implant (UCI) users via neurophysiological indices and a cognitive-behavioural approach. Methods 7 NH and 7 UCI subjects underwent electroencephalographic (EEG) recording with two EEG indices, Approach Withdrawal (AW) and Workload (WI), and behavioural tests conducted during a forced-choice musical emotion recognition task performed in quiet and noise in two emotional conditions. Results Musical effort in terms of WI did not vary between conditions and groups. Inversely, for AW, statistically significant differences in noisy conditions were observed between groups, indicating a difficulty for the patients in discriminating the musical pleasantness in noise. However, self-reported data suggest the ability of UCI to cognitively evaluate the stimulus in terms of both auditory difficulty and pleasantness. Conclusion Findings suggest the possible relevance of the Cochlear Implant in supporting the patients’ effort in listening to music in noise, allowing a pleasant enjoyment in the quiet condition. Overall, this study appears worthy of interest and paves the way for further investigation by providing data on the neurophysiological perception of music.

Abstract Introduction Pneumolabyrinth, defined by the presence of air in the labyrinth, is a rare clinical finding that can occur as a result of middle ear trauma, such as a traumatic injury with Q-tips. Case report We report the case of a patient that presented to the emergency department with vertigo and hearing loss complaints after aural cleansing with a Q-tip. On examination, the left tympanic membrane was perforated and there were signs of left vestibulopathy. A high-resolution CT scan was performed, and it showed the presence of air in the inner ear. Conservative management, instead of a surgical approach, was performed, with overall good vestibular and hearing outcomes. Discussion There is no clinical consensus on the best treatment of pneumolabyrinth, since, even with surgery, outcomes, mainly hearing outcomes, are usually poor. Nevertheless, surgery is usually reserved for patients with incapacitating vertigo or worsening hearing loss.

Abstract Purpose To adapt the Parent Satisfaction Questionnaire with Neonatal Hearing Screening Programs (PSQ-NHSP) into the Turkish language and to measure the parents’ satisfaction with the NHSP in a public hospital in Turkey. Materials and methods One hundred ninety-three parents of newborns participated in this study. Parents completed Turkish translations of PSQ-NHSP after the hearing screening process. Parents’ satisfaction with the NHSP was measured in four dimensions: information about the NHSP, staff responsible for the hearing test, appointment schedule, and overall satisfaction. Results Overall, 75% of parents were satisfied with the NHSP. The corresponding satisfaction levels of parents in the specific dimensions were as follows: 68% for information, 75% for personnel responsible for the hearing test, 74% for the appointment schedule, and 78% reported overall satisfaction. The psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the PSQ-NHSP showed acceptable internal consistency reliability (a = 0.78). Conclusions The Turkish version of the PSQ-NHSP is valid and reliable in measuring parent satisfaction with the NHSP, and the parents were generally satisfied with the NHSP in Turkey.

Abstract Objective: The subjective visual vertical (SVV) is commonly considered as an indicator of the sense of orientation. The present study aims to assess the impact of head tilt size (by 0°, 15°, 30° and 45° to the left or to the right) on SVV among the normal individuals with ages ranged from 18 to 35 years. Methods: Four healthy participants (30 males and 17 females; mean ± SD age: 22.14 ± 3.463) were included in current study. SVV was measured using a forced-choice paradigm and was applied (in different head tilt positions) for every individual twice the time. In addition, difference in averages of SVV in zero and non-zero positions was compared. A p-value of .05 or below was considered to be statistically significant. Results: There is statistically significant different between head tilt size by 15° and without head tilt for averages of SVV responses (p ˂ .001). Averages of SVV responses were not different between the head tilt size by 30° and 45° and without head tilt (p > .05). In addition, there is statistically significant different between head tilt size by 15° to the left and to the right (p ˂ .001). This rate was not statistically significant between 30° to the left and to the right and 40° to the left and to the right (p > .05). Conclusion: Our results showed that head tilt size by 15° have an impact on the evaluation of the SVV. These findings must be taken into account in the growing body of research that uses the SVV paradigm in disease settings.

Abstract Objective The present study investigated the impact of hearing impairment on the implementation of proactive and reactive cognitive control strategies across the ageing process. Methods 31 hearing-impaired (HI) individuals with one cochlear implant and 41 normal-hearing (NH) listeners of different ages performed the AX–CPT, a well-validated task to measure proactive and reactive cognitive control strategies. Data from both accuracy and response times (RTs) were analysed by mixed effect models that considered trial type, group, age and their interactions. Results Both accuracy and RT analyses showed significant interactions between trial type, group and age. Specifically, with ageing, the NH group had lower performance on AY and BX trials (i.e. the most conflicting trial types of the AX–CPT associated with proactive and reactive control). Conversely, HI participants yielded higher performance on the same trial types at older ages. However, for the HI group only, the accuracy benefits observed for AY and BX trials were coupled with an age-related RT increase on both trial types (i.e. speed accuracy trade-off). Conclusion The present findings show a different utilisation of cognitive control strategies in HI participants as compared to NH listeners, at both younger and older ages.
