Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical, experimental, and theoretical investigations of the effect of superior semicircular canal dehiscence on hearing mechanisms.
John J. Rosowski,Jocelyn E. Songer,Hideko Heidi Nakajima,Kelly M. Brinsko,Saumil N. Merchant +4 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that superior semicircular canal dehiscence can affect hearing function by introducing a third window into the inner ear by lowering cochlear input impedance and improving bone-conduction thresholds by increasing the difference in impedance between the vestibule and the round window.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential Intracochlear Sound Pressure Measurements in Normal Human Temporal Bones
Hideko Heidi Nakajima,Hideko Heidi Nakajima,Wei Dong,Elizabeth S. Olson,Saumil N. Merchant,Saumil N. Merchant,Saumil N. Merchant,Michael E. Ravicz,Michael E. Ravicz,John J. Rosowski +9 more
TL;DR: The technique of measuring differential pressure can be used to study inner ear conductive pathologies as well as non-ossicular cochlear stimulation—situations that cannot be completely quantified by measurements of stapes velocity or scala vestibuli pressure by themselves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed loss of hearing after hearing preservation cochlear implantation: Human temporal bone pathology and implications for etiology.
Alicia M. Quesnel,Hideko Heidi Nakajima,John J. Rosowski,Marlan R. Hansen,Bruce J. Gantz,Joseph B. Nadol +5 more
TL;DR: Delayed loss of initially preserved hearing after cochlear implantation was not explained by additional post-implantation degeneration of hair cells or spiral ganglion neurons in this patient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical investigation and mechanism of air-bone gaps in large vestibular aqueduct syndrome.
Saumil N. Merchant,Hideko Heidi Nakajima,Christopher F. Halpin,Joseph B. Nadol,Daniel J. Lee,William P. Innis,Hugh D. Curtin,John J. Rosowski +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that large vestibular aqueduct syndrome can present with an air-bone gap that can mimic middle ear disease, and diagnostic testing using acoustic reflexes, VEMPs, DPOAEs, and LDV can help to identify a non?middle ear source for such a gap, thereby avoiding negative middle ear exploration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental ossicular fixations and the middle ear's response to sound: evidence for a flexible ossicular chain.
Hideko Heidi Nakajima,Michael E. Ravicz,Michael E. Ravicz,Saumil N. Merchant,Saumil N. Merchant,Saumil N. Merchant,William T. Peake,William T. Peake,John J. Rosowski +8 more
TL;DR: The different effects of the various ossicular fixations on the motion of the umbo and malleus may be useful in the diagnosis of the site of fixations in humans with conductive hearing losses caused by such pathologies.
