Bilateral high-frequency hearing loss (BHFHL) is positively associated with elevated blood pressure levels and hypertension risk among noise-exposed workers, a new study found (PLoS One. 2019 Sep 5;14[9]:e0222135). Researchers in China measured the systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and hearing of 21,403 occupational noise-exposed workers in Chengdu. Individuals with BHFHL were more likely older, males, lived farther from the central city zone, and worked in small and...

Publication date: Available online 1 November 2019Source: Hearing ResearchAuthor(s): Sina Engler, Christine Köppl, Geoffrey A. Manley, Emile de Kleine, Pim van DijkAbstractSpontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) have been observed in a variety of different vertebrates, including humans and barn owls (Tyto alba). The underlying mechanisms producing the SOAEs and the meaning of their characteristics regarding the frequency selectivity of an individual and species are, however, still under debate....

Introduction: To determine the impact of a head-referenced cochlear implant (CI) stimulation system, BalanCI, on balance and postural control in children with bilateral cochleovestibular loss (BCVL) who use bilateral CI. Methods: Prospective, blinded case-control study. Balance and postural control testing occurred in two settings: (1) quiet clinical setting and (2) immersive realistic virtual environment (Challenging Environment Assessment Laboratory [CEAL], Toronto Rehabilitation Institute). Postural...
