and found that when comparing asymmetry across all frequencies, an interaural difference of 15 dB HL or more at 3,000 Hz was most significant.2 When they defined the cutoff for a positive test at 50% probability, their receiver operating characteristic curve revealed a sensitivity of 73% and ...
SNHL was found to be positive in 36 (18 %) of patients while 165 (82 %) were negative for SNHL. With respect to duration to disease, SNHL was reported to be positive in 11 (10.9 %) of patients having duration of CSOM between 2-6 years while in 25 (25.3...
The variants were interpreted according to the ACMG/AMP guidelines for genetic hearing loss combined with NGS data from 616 ethnically matched normal hearing adult controls. We identified a positive molecular diagnosis in 226 patients with sporadic SNHL (52.19%) and in patients from 17 deafness ...
Objectives: Immune-mediated sensorineural hearing loss (IMSNHL) can be caused by immune-mediated disorders localized to the inner ear or secondary to systemic immune diseases: positive test results and beneficial response to therapy support a presumptive diagnosis of immune inner ear disease. Treatment...
