Derald E. Brackmann,Robert M. Owens,Rick A. Friedman,William E. Hitselberger,A. De La Cruz,John W. House,Ralph A. Nelson,William M. Luxford,William H. Slattery,Jose N. Fayad +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a prospective case review was conducted to determine whether prognostic indicators for hearing preservation could be identified in patients with vestibular schwannoma undergoing middle fossa craniotomy resection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Derald E. Brackmann,William E. Hitselberger,Ralph A. Nelson,Jean K. Moore,Michael D. Waring,Franco Portillo,Robert V. Shannon,Fred F. Telischi +7 more
TL;DR: The present electrode consists of three platinum plates mounted on a Dacron mesh backing, a design that has been demonstrated to be biocompatible and positionally stable in an animal model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auditory brainstem implant: II. Postsurgical issues and performance.
Robert V. Shannon,Jose N. Fayad,Jean K. Moore,William W. M. Lo,Steve Otto,Ralph A. Nelson,Michael J. O'Leary +6 more
TL;DR: The auditory brainstem Implant (ABI) restores some hearing sensations to patients deafened by bilateral acoustic tumors and significant enhancement of speech understanding when the sound from the ABI is combined with Ilpreading.
Journal Article
Successful detection of small acoustic tumors using the stacked derived-band auditory brain stem response amplitude
TL;DR: A new ABR measure, the stacked derived-band ABR amplitude, is sensitive to the presence of small intracanalicular tumors in patients and has excellent specificity for the absence of tumors in normal-hearing individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensorineural Hearing Loss Associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
TL;DR: Otolaryngologists treating patients with unexplainable hearing loss—particularly if it is sudden, fluctuating, or rapidly progressive—are alerted to the possibility of underlying systemic autoimmunity.
