OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To determine the feasibility and cost effectiveness of incorporating cytomegalovirus (CMV) testing to determine the etiology of pediatric hearing loss. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study of children presenting with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) at one institution from 2008 to 2013. METHODS Children aged 3 years or younger who presented to the senior author (A.P.) bet...

OBJECTIVES To determine the influence of hearing loss on perception of vowel slices. METHODS Fourteen listeners aged 20-27 participated; ten (6 males) had hearing within normal limits and four (3 males) had moderate-severe sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Stimuli were six naturally-produced words consisting of the vowels /i a u æ ɛ ʌ/ in a /b V b/ context. Each word was presented as a whole...

Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been shown to be an important cause of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). In this study, we performed a clinical and genetic analysis of 169 hearing-impaired patients and some of their relatives suffering from idiopathic SNHL, both familial and sporadic. The analysis of four fragments of their mtDNA identified several polymorphisms, the well known pat...

Introduction: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a probable complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) Surgery, that may be due to embolism, perfusion failure and consumption of ototoxic drugs. Since the incidence of SNHL after CABG is different according to the various reports, the present study was designed to study hearing threshold change after CABG surgery. Method: In this cross...

OBJECTIVES To determine the ability of the air-conduction multiple-frequency auditory steady-state response (ASSR) technique to diagnose normal hearing (NH) and mild and moderate degrees of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), to assess patients with conductive hearing loss (CHL), to evaluate flat and sloping configurations of hearing impairment, and to provide sensitivity and specificity values ...

Background: The association of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in diabetes mellitus patients is known since decades, yet there no clear consensus among previous studies, with respect to the prevalence SNHL type 2 and effect duration control on acuity. Hence objectives this study are find loss. Methods: present was conducted 100 age gender matched non- diabetic controls group < 50 yrs, selecte...

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...

Most of the patients who present with congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) do not demonstrate an imaging abnormality. Only 39% of patients with congenital SNHL have a documented imaging abnormality, with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome being the most common of the congenital anomalies to be identified on imaging. Congenital anomalies of the semicircular canals can result in SNHL. Dys...

&lt;p class="abstract"&gt;With the advent of COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a myriad long-term complications in post-COVID patients. In these patients, one rare but dreaded symptoms reported is sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) that mostly during active infection. We followed up with patients our outpatient department and came across patient SNHL. conducted literature search Pub...

M utations in connexin 26 (GJB2, Cx26) cause autosomal recessive and occasionally dominant non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Cx26 mutations have also been identified in SNHL with dermatological features of autosomal dominant diffuse palmoplantar hyperkeratosis (DPPK). We describe a girl with bilateral sloping sensorineural hearing loss, striate palmoplantar hyperkeratosis (SPPK),...
