  • Conservative management of functional middle ear disorders: a systematic review with narrative synthesis and conceptual clinical framework. [Review]
    Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol. 2026 Jun 01. [Online ahead of print]Henderson D, Djian C, … Londero AEA
  • CONCLUSIONS: Conservative management offers potential symptomatic benefit with generally favorable safety profiles for FMEDs, particularly in pediatric and mild-to-moderate adult cases. FMEDs often present concomitantly and might be pathophysiologically interconnected. Thus, therapies targeting one disorder may confer improvement in others. Structured, stepwise treatment, beginning with education, counseling, and simple topical agents, and progressing to targeted pharmacologic or minimally invasive measures, may be used prior to surgical intervention, although comparative effectiveness per se was not assessed.
  • Diagnostic utility of audiologic parameters in sudden hearing loss: a multivariable logistic regression study. [Journal Article]
    Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol. 2026 Jun 01. [Online ahead of print]Suloglu OF, Yuksel M, Ciprut AEA
  • CONCLUSIONS: The logistic regression model effectively differentiated individuals with and without SHL. Nearly half of the patients presenting with suspected SHL had normal hearing (45.4%), and 14.8% demonstrated findings consistent with middle ear pathology. These results highlight the substantial clinical burden associated with suspected SHL referrals and suggest that the coexistence of multiple symptoms may complicate the diagnostic process.
  • Electroacupuncture and Low-Level Laser Therapy for the Management of Ménière's Disease-Case Report. [Case Reports]
    Integr Med (Encinitas). 2026 Apr; 25(2):42-45.Hsu K, Chung A, Capetz NIM
  • Ménière's Disease (MD) typically presents with the classic triad of symptoms of vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss. MD significantly impacts a patient's quality of life and their ability to carry out basic daily functions. This case report describes how electroacupuncture and Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) were used concurrently to assist a patient suffering from MD to achieve substantial recove…
  • Acquired external auditory canal stenosis: clinical characteristics, surgical strategies and prognostic analysis. [Journal Article]
    Front Pediatr. 2026; 14:1814290.Meng C, Lai R, … Yang SFP
  • CONCLUSIONS: This study tentatively indicates that there exist disparities in the clinical characteristics of acquired external auditory canal stenosis between children and adults. The risk of postoperative restenosis in children is notably elevated, and this tendency might be associated with the inherent anatomical fragility and robust tissue proliferation capacity in children. Comprehensive preoperative imaging assessment, individualized surgical plan development, standardized drug-eluting stent implantation, structured long-term postoperative follow-up, and postoperative care may be conducive to enhancing the prognosis of acquired external auditory canal stenosis in children. Multicenter prospective studies with a larger sample size are required to further validate the optimal treatment strategy for acquired external auditory canal stenosis in children.
