Audio-vestibology
The primary objective of the Audio-Vestibology Research Group is to explore current issues in the field of high-incidence cochleovestibular disorders (BPPV, superior semicircular canal dehiscence, Meniere's disease, childhood hearing loss, tinnitus, etc.) and to conduct research aimed at developing innovative diagnostic and instrumental procedures.
TOPICS
- Third window pathology of the inner ear (clinical-instrumental and radiological correlations).
- Clinical evaluation and validation of recent techniques for selective instrumental analysis of vestibular function.
- Data collection and longitudinal study of the recurrence of paroxysmal positional vertigo (clinical-semeiological and laboratory correlations).
- Data collection, audiological surveillance, clinical-instrumental correlations of childhood hearing loss – instrumental implementation of neonatal hearing screening (ASSR, WBT, VEMPs).
PROJECTS
- Impact of maternal or infant positivity for SARS-CoV-2 on the development of perceptual-auditory and communication skills (multidisciplinary and multicenter study).
- Relationships between inner ear disorders and hemodynamic imbalances (cardiovascular risk assessment with ABI and PWV).
