A new study has linked chronic conductive hearing loss with speech recognition deficits.
What Defines Asymmetric Sensorineural Hearing Loss?
Defining significant asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL) is important to determine if a patient requires further evaluation for retrocochlear pathology.
MRI Is Cost-Effective for Diagnosing Asymmetric SNHL
Pursuing MRI in patients with documented ASNHL is more cost-effective than observation
Evaluating Abnormal MRI in Asymmetric Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Patients with an unexplained, asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss are significantly more likely to have an abnormal MRI scan
Disagreement exists regarding the cost-effectiveness and necessity of an initial GdT1W MRI
Disagreement exists regarding the cost-effectiveness and necessity of an initial GdT1W MRI
Is Gadolinium Contrast Enhancement Necessary in Screening MRI for ASNHL?
Gadolinium contrast enhanced T1 weighted magnetic resonance imaging (GdT1W MRI) is the most widely accepted evaluation for asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL)
