Listening with your eyes: computed tomography assessment of hearing loss

Hearing loss, Ear ossicles, Tomography, X-ray computed, Magnetic resonance imagingXAbstract
Multiple pathologies can affect the function of the auditory apparatus. Anatomical knowledge of the temporal bone compartments on computed tomography leads to a better understanding of these entities and improves the clinical approach toward conductive or sensorineural hearing loss. An accurate diagnosis means a rapid initiation of treatment, which can change the patient’s prognosis.
