Advantages of Short-term Personalized Vestibular Rehabilitation at Home Guided by Professional Therapist for Treatment of Decompensated Vestibular Vertigo.

Objective: Patients suffered a lot from decompensated vestibular vertigo. Pharmacotherapy and vestibular rehabilitation training have been proven to be effective in prompting vestibular compensation. Routine rehabilitation training is faced with the challenges of patients' compliance, completion, the average recuperation time and so on.

Different findings of morphological changes and functional decline in the vestibule and the semicircular canal in ipsilateral delayed endolymphatic hydrops.

Objective: To elucidate the pathophysiological process by analyzing the correlation between morphological and functional changes in patients with delayed endolymphatic hydrops (DEH).

Methods: Twenty-nine patients diagnosed with DEH were enrolled in this retrospective study. All patients were assessed using the caloric test, cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, and gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the inner ear.

Mechanisms of Hearing Loss in a Guinea Pig Model of Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence.

Defective acoustic transmission in the cochlea is closely related with various auditory and vestibular symptoms. Among them, semicircular canal dehiscence (SCD) with a defective semicircular bone is typical. Currently, the pathogenesis of SCD is usually explained by the third window hypothesis; however, this hypothesis fails to explain the variability in the symptoms and signs experienced by superior SCD (SSCD) patients.

Effect of Endolymphatic Hydrops on Sound Transmission in Live Guinea Pigs Measured with a Laser Doppler Vibrometer.

. This study aimed at describing the mechanism of hearing loss in low frequency and the different dynamic behavior of the umbo, the stapes head, and the round window membrane (RWM) between normal guinea pigs and those with endolymphatic hydrops (EH), using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). .

The hidden dysfunction of otolithic organs in patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss.

Objective: To define the profiles of ocular and cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMP and cVEMP, respectively) in patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss (PSHL).

Methods: Twenty-nine patients with PSHL and 20 healthy volunteers were investigated. The patients' medical records were collected and analyzed.
