Tinnitus in children and adolescents is known to be as common adults. However, tinnitus this young population often overlooked, a large population-based study designed adjust for various risk factors lacking.A cross-sectional was conducted using data from the Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey, with 3047 participants aged 12 19 years, 2008 through 2011. We investigated prevalence by questionnaire analyzed of three types: personal, otologic, parental factors.The 17.7%,...
Abstract Post‐lingual deafness induces a decline in the ability to process phonological sounds or evoke representations. This is paralleled with abnormally high neural activity right posterior superior temporal gyrus/supramarginal gyrus (PSTG/SMG). As this plasticity negatively relates cochlear implantation (CI) success, it appears important understand its determinants. We addressed neuro‐functional mechanisms underlying maladaptive phenomenon using behavioral and functional magnetic...
