Urachal carcinoma arises in the clinically silent extraperitoneal space between the bladder apex and the umbilicus. Computed tomography was used to correctly diagnose and stage urachal cancer in two patients. In one case a mass was localized to the bladder wall and immediate juxtavesical region; in the other case an advanced locally invasive lesion was seen to engulf and fisulize loops of small bowel and extend through the umbilicus. Urachal carcinoma has a highly characteristic appearance and location on CT images.

Users' satisfaction with hearing aids.

Seventy-one hearing aid users were surveyed two years after their initial fitting to determine whether they (1) wore the hearing aid(s) prescribed, (2) were satisfied with their aid(s), (3) had specific complaints about their aid(s), and (4) would recommend that a hearing-impaired friend or relative go through the same hearing aid selection process. Ninety-six percent of the respondents obtained that aid that we recommended. Eighty-eight percent were "very satisfied" or "satisfied" with the help that their aid(s) provided. Eighty-two percent would recommend that a hearing-impaired friend or relative go directly to a "hearing specialist" for assistance when selecting a hearing aid.
