Otoacoustic Emissions in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Changes of Measures with Treatment
Authors
Abstract:
Introduction: To identify changes in OAEs parameters in treatment course of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (iSSNHL). Materials and Methods: In aprospective studyfromAugust 2005 to January 2009, 26 patients with iSSNHL underwent conventional audiometry/tympanometry and two types of OAEs (TEOAEs and DPOAEs) before and after the completion of standard drug therapy.The changes in pre- and post- treatment parameters were compared with each other and with normal-contralateral ears. Results: In TEOAEs, the mean overall correlation (reproducibility) and the mean overall strength in involved ears were 10.96±23.36 and 0.99±3.45 dB, respectively, before the treatment, which reached 22.88±36.55 and 1.85±5.3, respectively, after the treatment (P>0.05). Significant difference between “correlation score” (average of correlations at 3-4 involved frequencies) before and after treatment was found: 6.52 ±18.19 vs. 21.67±37.8 (P

full textStudying VEMP in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) has a prevalence of 10 in 100,000. Viral infections, vascular obstruction and rupture of the intracochlear membranes are supposed to be its most common etiologies. About 40% of patients experience vertigo or imbalance. The VEMP (vestibular evoked myogenic potentials) test is a known approach for detailed study of the labyrinth. The advant...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) in the prediction of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) outcome. STUDY DESIGN Open-label prospective study. SETTING Tertiary referral medical center. PATIENTS Fifteen ISSNHL patients (age: 57.6 ± 16.2 years) were prospectively followed 7 days, 14 days, and 3 months post-presentation and the commencement of t...
full textSudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss; Prognostic Factors
Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a frightening and frustrating symptom for the patient as well as the physician. Prognosis is affected by multiple factors including duration of hearing loss, presence of associated vertigo and tinnitus, and co-morbidities such as hypertension and diabetes. Materials and Methods: Forty subjects presenting to our department with feature...
full textIdiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Copyright © 2008 Massachusetts Medical Society. A healthy 58-year-old woman answers the telephone and realizes that her hearing is diminished on the left side. She notices aural fullness and loud tinnitus in the affected ear. Later that day she has several hours of mild vertigo that clears by the following morning. Over the next few days, repeated self-administered ear cleaning with the use of ...
