Aim: To estimate the frequency of sensorineural hearing loss in chronic otitis media. Study design: Descriptive study. Place and duration study: Department ENT, Services Hospital Lahore from 1st June 2021 to 30th November 2021. Methodology: One hundred patients diagnosed with media were enrolled. Their clinical details documented audiograms performed. Frequency was determined. Results: Mean age...

We studied hearing loss algorithms in this project. As the conductive hearing loss is due to sound conducting problem in the ear canal, it can be treated with a linear sound amplifier. However, the other kind of hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, which is resulted from the disorder of the middleor inner-ear, can not be solved merely by a linear amplifier. Sensorineural hearing loss is wh...

OBJECTIVES To study whether vibrotactile sense combined with questionnaires (subjective complaints) and a clinical examination (including scoring of the Stockholm workshop scale (sensorineural staging)) could serve as a screening procedure, in the health care service, for sensorineural symptoms. A group of blue collar workers exposed to vibration in a manufacturing industry (rock crushing plant...

Introduction The first locus for nonsyndromic autosomal recessive hearing loss is on chromosome 13q11-22. The 35delG mutation is present in 80% of cases in which GJB2 is involved, which makes the study of this mutation very important. The viability and benefits of screening for mutations in the connexin 26 gene are now beginning to change the diagnostic evaluation and identification of the etio...

OBJECTIVE To explore the association between chronic suppurative otitis media and sensorineural hearing loss. METHOD The files of 147 patients with unilateral chronic suppurative media were reviewed in a retrospective study. Differences between diseased and control ear bone conduction thresholds were analysed by the paired student's t-test over the four frequencies (0.5 kHz, 1.0 kHz, 2.0 kHz,...

Individuals with sensorineural hearing loss often report frustration with speech being loud but not clear, especially in background noise. Despite advanced digital technology, hearing aid users may resort to removing their hearing aids in noisy environments due to the perception of excessive loudness. In an animal model, sensorineural hearing loss results in greater auditory nerve coding of the...

UNLABELLED An audiogram is not sufficient to indicate cochlear dead regions. AIM To investigate cochlear dead regions in sensorineural hearing loss subjects using the TEN test. SITE: CEDALVI/ HRAC-USP-Bauru/Sao Paulo/Brazil, August 2003 to February 2004. STUDY DESIGN A contemporary cross-sectional cohort study. MATERIAL AND METHODS The TEN test was applied in three groups: G1(5 women with...

BACKGROUND Thermotactile thresholds and vibrotactile thresholds are measured to assist the diagnosis of the sensorineural component of the hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). OBJECTIVES This study investigates whether thermotactile and vibrotactile thresholds distinguish between fingers with and without numbness and tingling. METHODS In 60 males reporting symptoms of the hand-arm vibration ...

OBJECTIVE To study the causes and prevalence of sensorineural deafness in Bangladeshi children resident in East London. METHODS This was a cross sectional survey of children of Bangladeshi origin living in East London with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss of 40 db HL or more. In this study, 134 patients were included. The study looked primarily at the causes of sensorineural hearing loss ...

Objective. This study aimed to examine hearing function in children admitted with bacterial meningitis to determine the risk factors for sensorineural hearing loss. Setting. The study was conducted in the audiology unit and paediatric wards of Kenyatta National Hospital. Subjects and Methods. The study involved 83 children between the ages of six months and twelve years admitted with bacterial ...
