Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hearing loss has a huge impact on the quality of life for millions of people, and as the average age of the population increases, the need for diagnostic and curative therapies targeting hearing loss and inner ear disorders has never been more important. Patients with recurrent episodes of vertigo with or without hearing loss (BPPV, Meniere's disease, migraine-associated vertigo), bilateral vestibular failure, ototoxicity, acoustic trauma, sudden hearing loss, immune-mediated inner ear disorders and otogenic facial palsy continue to be a challenge for the clinician. Correct diagnosis allows treatment for many of the peripheral and central vestibular disorders. Audiovestibular surgery and rehabilitation, including hearing aids, bone‐anchored hearing aids, cochlear/vestibular/auditory brainstem implantations should be performed early in the disease process to prevent chronic symptoms.
It is my pleasure to invite you and members of your research group to submit an article or review for a Special Issue on “Current Challenges and Advances in Inner Ear Disorders”. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to:
- Inner ear fluids dynamics
- Hair cell regeneration
- Pathology and endolymphatic sac
- Endolymphatic hydrops
- Genetics, polymorphisms
- Inner ear imaging
- Vestibular testings (Vemps, video head impulse test)
- Intratympanic steroids, Gentamycin
- Cochlear implant
- Hearing aids, implantable hearing devices
- Vestibular rehabilitation
