Objective: Psoriasis has been accepted as a T-cell mediated systemic disease and inflammation may also cause immune-mediated hearing loss. We aimed to evaluate cochlear function with otoacoustic emission (OAE) measurement in psoriasis patients, whether there is relationship between the duration severity of OAEs. Material Methods: Forty-four patients diagnosed were included study. The control gr...

Background: Occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL) is a hearing disorder that affects workers all over the world. Preconditioning with several mild or less potent stressors will effectively prevent the development of noise-induced hearing loss. This study investigated the possible preventive effects of normobaric hyperoxia preconditioning on preventing the noise-induced hearing impairm...

Akustik travmaya bağlı işitme kaybı sık görülen nedenlerindendir. travma sonrasında tüy hücrelerinin hasarı sonucu kalıcı veya geçici kayıpları görülür. Güçlü bir antioksidan olarak bilinen Omega-3 yağı, vücudun üretemediği ve dışarıdan alınması gereken yağdır. Çalışmamızın amacı omega-3 kullanımının akustik üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmamıza 24 adet sağlıklı, ortalama ağırlıkları 350 ...

Aim to analyze the indicators of distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) in persons exposed noise small arms and, on basis most significant them, determine probability developing hearing loss.
 Material and methods. We examined 30 male volunteer shooters (60 ears) aged from 19 years. The fired shots AK74M short bursts (2-3 a burst) at targets when performing shooting exercises thr...

Introduction There has been an increasing interest in studying OAE in order to understand and investigate the cochlear function both in adults and infants, since the first description of OAE by Kemp in 1978. There still is no complete description of the most basic aspects of audition although studies of ear development were performed even before 1970 (Abdala 2000). It is believed that the study...

Dear Editor, I read with great interest the recent study by Yücedağ et al. [1] entitled " The Effects of Nonylphenol on Hearing in Rats. " It needs to be specified in the article if the hearing levels of the rats were evaluated before the study or not. Another point I would like to emphasize is that the hearing levels of the rats after the application of ethanol and nonylphenol were evaluated b...
