Avellisa Syndrome

Avellis syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that may be associated with hearing loss. This condition is characterized by increased sensitivity to sounds and noise, as well as impaired speech perception.

Avellis first described this disease in 1906. He noticed that patients with this syndrome have trouble understanding speech, especially at high volumes. They may also have difficulty understanding speech at a distance.

Avellis suggested that the cause of this disease is a disruption of the auditory nerve. However, the exact cause of this syndrome is still unknown.

Treatment for Avellis syndrome may include the use of special hearing aids or headphones that help reduce sensitivity to sounds. Hearing and speech training techniques may also be recommended to improve speech perception.

It is important to note that Avellis syndrome is not life-threatening, but it can lead to some speech and hearing problems. If you suspect that you may have Avellis syndrome, it is recommended that you see a specialist for diagnosis and treatment.

Avellis Pasquale Massimo Zanni is an Italian otolaryngologist who discovered and described Avellis syndrome or sinus wave refractory epilepsy (SWRE).

Avellis was born in Naples in 1857 and graduated from the medical university there. During his studies, he worked in the laboratory of Professor Reich on brain histology and was engaged in anatomical research. After completing his studies at the age of 28, Avellis returned to Naples and began to practice otolaryngology, and also investigated the mechanisms of inflammation in the human body. It was this research that led him to the discovery of Avellis syndrome.

During his career, Avellis conducted many studies on the spread of inflammation in brain structures. He also studied the mechanism of infection in various organs of the body, including the eyes, heart and joints. Avellis's discoveries helped create new treatments for various diseases, which improved the quality of life for millions of people.
