Hearing Aid Benefit in Patients with Mild Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Systematic Review.

abstract：:Recent advances in endoscopic optics and miniature video camera technology have made video otoscopy (VO) accessible to audiologists in a practical way. Seven categories of VO applications are presented with clinical examples: (1) general examination of the earcanal and tympanic membrane, (2) physician communication/te...
