Article Abstract
Middle ear vascular anomalies are an uncommon and frequently overlooked cause of conductive hearing loss (CHL). Their clinical presentation can mimic more prevalent conditions, making diagnosis and management challenging. Without appropriate imaging and evaluation, such cases may lead to unnecessary and potentially harmful interventions. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman with chronic right-sided CHL due to a vascular anomaly compressing the ossicles. This case underscores the critical role of high-resolution imaging in diagnosing rare etiologies of CHL and guiding safe, informed management.

Department of Head and Neck Surgery & Communication Sciences, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC.
Purpose: This exploratory study examined if hearing handicap in older adults affected listening-related fatigue during health care interactions and explored whether different face mask types worn during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic influenced this association.
Method: A cross-sectional observational study among community-dwelling adults aged 60 years and older receiving care at an academic health care system outpatient audiology or otolaryngology clinics was conducted. Eligible participants completed and returned a mail-in self-reported packet including the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (Screener Version; HHIE-S) and the 10-item Vanderbilt Fatigue Scale for Adults (VFS-A-10).
Fully Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm Using 2-Dimensional/3-Dimensional Endoscopy: Clinical Analysis of 204 Cases.

Department of Neurosurgery and the Training Base of Neuroendoscopic Physicians under the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Jiangsu Clinical Medicine Center of Tissue Engineering and Nerve Injury Repair, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, Nantong, Jiangsu Province, China.
Background And Objectives: Microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS) is commonly conducted under a microscope. We report a large series of fully endoscopic MVDs for HFS and describe our initial experience with 3-dimensional (3D) endoscopy.
Methods: Clinical data of 204 patients with HFS who underwent fully endoscopic MVD using 2-dimensional (2D) and 3D endoscopy (191 and 13 patients, respectively) from July 2017 to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: Stickler syndrome (STL) is a group of related connective tissue disorders characterized by heterogeneous clinical presentations with varying degrees of orofacial, ocular, skeletal, and auditory abnormalities. However, this condition is difficult to diagnose on the basis of clinical features because of phenotypic variability. Thus, expanding the variant spectrum of this disease will aid in achieving a firm definitive diagnosis of STL.
