Article Abstract
Intralabyrinthine schwannomas (ILS) are rare benign tumours arising from the peripheral branches of the cochlear or vestibular nerves in the membranous labyrinth, intracochlear schwannomas being the most frequent ones. When hearing is no longer feasible on the affected side, surgical removal along with simultaneous cochlear implantation can be proposed to the patient. We hereby present a systematic review of the literature on the topic, as well as two original cases from our centre (Ospedale Università degli Studi di Padova). Cochlear implantation in intracochlear schwannomas is feasible, with overall satisfactory hearing outcomes in accordance with the evidence found in the literature.

Management of Unilateral Hearing Loss in a 14-Year-Old with Internal Auditory Canal Duplication Using a Bonebridge Bone Conduction Implant.

BACKGROUND Duplicated internal auditory canal (dIAC) is a rare congenital temporal bone anomaly associated with ipsilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The Bonebridge bone conduction implant has a magnet, an internal transducer, and an external audio processor. This report is of a 14-year-old girl with unilateral SNHL and vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII cranial nerve) aplasia due to dIAC who was treated with a Bonebridge bone conduction implant.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study including patients with radiologically confirmed IEMs and bilateral severe-to-profound hearing loss, all of whom underwent implantation and completed at least 10 years of follow-up. Outcomes were assessed using pure-tone average (PTA) and speech recognition scores (SRS) at defined intervals.
Gene therapy for inner ear disease: the next targets.

Purpose Of Review: The recent successful otoferlin gene therapy trials have refocused the fields attention on the potential of gene therapy to cure hearing loss. With over 100 known monogenetic causes of hearing loss, the key question is which will be the next set of disorders that are treatable. The current review addresses potentially targetable hearing disorders that can be addressed with current gene therapy technologies.

Leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI-1) antibody-associated autoimmune encephalitis is a rare neurologic disorder primarily presenting with memory impairment, behavioral changes, and seizures. Auditory symptoms, particularly sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), are uncommon but may occur due to LGI-1 expression in auditory pathways. A 78-year-old male with a prior diagnosis of LGI-1 autoimmune encephalitis presented with progressive bilateral SNHL and frequent falls.
