“…The knowledge on the ear that is supposed to be affected in UO or first/more affected in BO does not exist, and the reason for the laterality of a hearing impairment in patients affected by unilateral or bilateral otosclerosis remains unclear. Moreover, there still are no explanations for previously reported ear preferences in individuals with right-or left-hand predominance [8,[14][15][16]. A limitation of this report is that it is a hospital-based observational study that cannot claim to reflect the entire population of individuals with otosclerosis.…”

“…Bilateral otosclerosis (BO) has been reported in 38.9-90 % patients [8][9][10][11][12][13]. The RE advantage in righthanded individuals and the LE advantage in left-handed ones were demonstrated in individuals with a normal hearing and in a population with hearing impairment [14][15][16][17]. Lateral preference is the preferential use of one of a pair of bilaterally symmetrical organs.…”

“…Given that around 90 % of human adults are right handed [18][19][20][21], the evidence of RE advantage in righthanded people [14][15][16] and the right-sided preponderance among patients with BO [8], we hypothesized that hand preference might be one of the factors involved in the laterality of hearing impairment caused by otosclerosis, and the current study was conducted to test this hypothesis. …”

The aim of this study was to investigate a possible correlation between handedness and laterality of hearing impairment due to otosclerosis. All patients operated for otosclerosis between August 2008 and February 2014 were queried about their handedness. The study group consisted of 218 right-handed and 21 left-handed (8.9%) patients [139 female (58.2%) and 100 male] with an age range of 18-75 years (mean 46.1 years). One-hundred and fifty-seven patients had a bilateral otosclerosis (BO) and 82 (34.3%) had a unilateral otosclerosis (UO). There were 11 left-handed male and 10 left-handed female (11% vs. 7.2 %, p = 0.305). In patients with UO, the left ear (LE) was affected in 6/11 (58.3%) left handed ones, and the right ear (RE) in 41/71 (57.7%) right handed ones (p = 0.842). In patients with BO, the LE was more affected in the left-handed ones, and the RE in the right-handed ones (7/10, 70% and 87/147, 59.2 %, respectively, p = 0.5). Overall, 13/21 (61.9%) left-handed patients presented with only/mostly left-sided otosclerosis, while 128/218 (58.7%) right-handed patients presented with only/mostly right-sided otosclerosis (p = 0.584). Clinical relevance of presented findings is unclear yet nevertheless current study may contribute one more element in the multifactorial process of otosclerosis-related hearing loss.

“…Indeed, Dane and Bayirli (1998) reported that right-handedness was associated with a right-ear advantage and left-handedness was associated with a left-ear advantage. Dane et al (2002) reported that right-handers had a right-ear advantage and a larger left craniofacial region, whereas left-handers had a left-ear advantage and a larger right craniofacial region. Dane and Gumustekin (2003) reported the sex and handedness differences in aural asymmetry.…”

The aim of this work was to study the handedness differences in the height of the right and left ethmoid roofs. Hand preference was assessed using the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory. The height of the right and left ethmoid roofs was measured with computerised tomography (CT). The incidence of persons who had a lower ethmoid roof on the right side was significantly greater among right-handers than among left-handers; the incidence of persons who had a lower ethmoid roof on the left side was significantly greater among left-handers than among right-handers; and right and left ethmoid roofs were equal in all ambidextrous subjects. The relationship between the asymmetric ethmoid roofs and handedness may result from the right or left embryonic craniofacial region being smaller in the right- or left-handed subjects. This is particularly important in the light of the high degree of variability in the ethmoid roof, and even between the right and left sides in a given individual. Preoperative awareness of a patient's unique sinus anatomy may help prevent iatrogenic injury to the surrounding vital structures during ethmoid sinus surgery (ESS).

“…Some investigators rely on various modifications of the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory. [55][56][57][58][59] However, this methodology has also been criticized because such questionnaires assess only the examinee's recollection of hand preference. It is known that subjects who indicate certain hand preferences on a questionnaire often do not, in practice, validate their answer when observed directly.…”

Treatment Type Is Associated with Population Hand Preferences in Patients with Unilateral Coronal Synostosis

Patients who underwent endoscopic suturectomy and helmet therapy for nonsyndromic unilateral coronal synostosis and healthy controls demonstrated functional cerebral lateralization with respect to handedness that differed from patients who underwent fronto-orbital advancement. The reason may be related to the type of procedure, secondary effects of general anesthesia, or age at which the procedure was performed.
