Tympanic membrane perforation (TMP) is one of the most common conditions in
otolaryngology worldwide, and hearing damage caused by inadequate or prolonged …

Modern otology faces challenges in treating tympanic membrane (TM) perforations. Instead
of surgical intervention, alternative treatments using biomaterials are emerging. Recently …

Sounds delivered to the ear move the tympanic membrane (TM), which drives the middle-
ear (ME) ossicles and transfers the acoustic energy to the cochlea. Perforations of the TM …

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) evoked by two pure tones carry
information about the mechanisms that generate and shape them. Thus, DPOAEs hold …

Aims To investigate the effects of the location and size of tympanic membrane (TM)
perforation and middle ear cavity volume on conductive hearing loss in patients with TM …

Background Current clinical tests for middle ear (ME) injuries and related conductive
hearing loss (CHL) are lengthy and costly, lacking the ability to noninvasively evaluate both …

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel technology for performing real-time high-
speed and high-resolution cross-sectional imaging on the micro-scale in situ. It is analogous …

Background Myringoplasty is one of the most common surgeries performed in otology
centers, with many factors influencing the success rate, including the size and site of …
