Abstract
49 parents of teenagers with a hearing loss of >50dB BEHL answered an open-ended questionnaire. They were asked to list the difficulties their son/daughter had as a result of their hearing loss (proxy responses) and any difficulties they themselves experienced because of the hearing loss (parental responses).
Both proxy and parental respo...
Editor—Mutations in GJB2 , the connexin 26 (Cx26) gene, are thought to account for over 50% of autosomal recessive, non-syndromic, congenital deafness, the most common form of genetic deafness1 2 and 10-30% of sporadic cases.2 3 Over 50 recessive mutations in the GJB2 gene have been reported since it was originally described4 (the connexin 26 (GJB2...
Scopo dello studio
La medicina di genere rappresenta un aspetto di crescente interesse nell’ambito della ricerca volta al raggiungimento della personalizzazione della gestione clinica del paziente.
Si tratta di un approccio trasversale e intrinsecamente multidisciplinare, che supera il mero studio delle differenze epidemiologiche tra maschi e femmi...
Gender medicine is not a separated branch of medicine, but a novel approach towards classical

Laid the foundations for audiology as a medical specialtyRonald Hinchcliffe was a champion of the many patients with hearing and balance disorders, who were often unrecognised and poorly treated, causing considerable educational, social, and occupational limitations. He was one of the first academic clinicians to recognise the role of the basic sci...
An important milestone in medicine has been the recent completion of the Human Genome Project. The identification of 30,000 genes and their regulatory proteins provides the framework for understanding the metabolic basis of disease. This advance has also laid the foundation for a broad range of genomic tools that have opened the way for targeted ge...

This medical specialty was termed 'audiological medicine' and its specialists, 'audiological physicians'. The relationship of the audiological physicia...
We present a case of a 21 year old with variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) who presented with difficulties in speech discrimination and was found to have a sensorineural hearing loss of predominantly or entirely neural origin. At presentation to the Department of Audiological Medicine, neuro-otological examination revealed only slight difficu...
