A systematic review of the nonacoustic benefits of bone-anchored hearing AIDS.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:During the earlier years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, initial reports described sensorineural hearing loss in up to 49% of individuals with HIV/AIDS. During those years, patients commonly progressed to advanced stages of HIV disease and frequently had neurological complications. However, the abnormalities on pu...
