    Abstract Background: Bilateral hearing aids are desirable to restore hearing in the most effective and natural way. The aim of the present study was to identify which type of hearing rehabilitation was preferred by our patients and which factors drove their choice.
    Methods: One hundred eight patients with moderate-to-severe asymmetrical hearing loss before and after a 1-month trial with bilateral hearing aids were considered.
    Results: As high as 58.3% of patients decided to continue with bilateral hearing aids (group BI), while 41.7% chose unilateral hearing aid (UNI group) in the best ear. Patients in the UNI group were significantly older than those in the BI group (P=.04); age > 77 years was an independent prognostic factor of unilateral hearing aid choice (odds ratio=6.26; P=.04). Matrix test scored significantly worse with a single hearing aid than with 2 hearing aids in both groups (UNI P=.03; BI P=.01).
    Conclusion: Patients with asymmetric hearing loss often prefer unilateral hearing aid, almost half in our experience. Nonetheless, bilateral hearing aids are desirable as unilateral hearing aid was associated with significantly poorer performance at a speech in noise hearing tests. Age at fitting could play a relevant role and is thus important in early diagnosis. Further studies are needed to confirm our results and investigate strategies to promote bilateral rehabilitation.

    Abstract Objective: The present study aims at investigating the immediate effects of the Semi-Occluded Bubble Mask Technique (SOBM) performed with the device VocalFeel® as a vocal warm-up in a group of professional singers.
    Study design: A randomized controlled study was carried out.
    Methods: Forty-four vocally healthy professional singers were randomly divided into two groups on recruitment: an experimental group and a control group. The same vocal warm-up exercise was performed by the experimental group with the SOMB technique and by the control group without semi-occlusion. Self assessments, acoustic analysis and aerodynamic analysis of Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flows (PNIF) and Peak Oral Inspiratory Flows (POIF) were performed.
    Results: Significant improvements after the SOBM technique were detected in the experimental group concerning some acoustic parameters (Jitt%; Shimm%) and aerodynamic measures (PNIF and POIF). No significant improvements after the warm-up exercise were observed in the control group. Significant differences between the experimental and the control group were found for ΔJitt%, ΔShimm%, ΔNHR, ΔPOIF and self assessments.
    Conclusions: The results of the present study support the efficacy of a vocal warm-up performed with the SOBM technique using VocalFeel® device in terms of acoustic quality, aerodynamic measures and perceived phonatory comfort in professional singers.

    Abstract Aim: Pharyngodynia, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, smell, and taste dysfunctions could be the presenting symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The aim was to perform a systematic review of current evidences on clinical presentation of COVID-19, focusing on upper airway symptoms in order to help otolaryngologists identifying suspected cases.
    Methods: We searched PubMed and Web of Science electronic databases.
    Results: We included 5 retrospective clinical studies for a total of 1556 hospitalized patients with COVID-19, 57.5% were male and mean age was 49.1 years. Pooled data revealed that pharyngodynia was present in 12.4% of patients, nasal congestion in 3.7%, and rhinorrhea was rare. No reports on COVID-19 and olfactory/gustative disorders matched inclusion criteria but preliminary evidences suggested they could be present. Common symptoms were fever (85.6%), cough (68.7%), and fatigue (39.4%). Frequent comorbidities were hypertension (17.4%), diabetes (3.8%), and coronary heart disease (3.8%); 83% of patients had alterations on chest computed tomography that were bilateral in 89.5% of cases. Ground-glass opacity was the most common finding (50%). Lymphopenia (77.2%) and leucopenia (30.1%) were common. Critical cases with complications were 9%, intensive care unit admission was required in 7.3%, invasive ventilation in 3.4%, and mortality was 2.4%.
    Conclusion: Otolaryngologists should know that pharyngodynia, nasal congestion, olfactory, and gustative disorders could be the presenting symptoms of COVID-19. Clinical presentation together with radiological and laboratory findings could help to identify suspected cases.
