Asymmetric Hearing Loss

Asymmetric hearing loss in truck drivers.

[Binaural asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss in audiological practice].

OBJECTIVES To estimate binaural asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss in own material of patients treated in Dept. of Phoniatrics and Audiology. MATERIAL & METHODS The retrospective analysis was performed on the group of 1816 patients hospitalized in 2008 due to hearing disorders. Asymmetry of hearing loss was classified on Margolis and Saly criteria in PTA, and in ABR results in children. ...

Realignment of interaural cortical maps in asymmetric hearing loss.

Misalignment of interaural cortical response maps in asymmetric hearing loss evolves from initial gross divergence to near convergence over a 6 month recovery period. The evolution of left primary auditory cortex (AI) interaural frequency map changes is chronicled in squirrel monkeys with asymmetric hearing loss induced by overstimulating the right ear with a 1 kHz tone at 136 dB for 3 h. AI fr...

Cost analysis of asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss investigations.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study is to critically evaluate the typical cost of asymmetrical sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL) work-up, and to compare the positive predictive value from this common presenting symptom. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review from two major otolaryngology centers. METHODS We reviewed charts from patients presenting to New York Eye and Ear Infir...

HEARING LOSS IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS

Inner ear cells are sensitive to some metabolic and hormonal disorders, but the relation between chronic renal failure (CRF), regular dialysis treatment (RDT) and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is still a debatable field. The object of this paper was to verify the presence of SNHL in patients submitted to hemodialysis with different duration due to CRF and in those submitted to conservat...
