hearing loss (hl) is the most common sensory defect. various genetic as well as environmental factors have been shown to contribute in it. more than 100 loci have been recognized to cause autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (arnshl). here, we report a 6-year old female patient with bilateral pre-lingual hl in whom a mutation has been identified in triobp gene (c.6362c>t, s2121l). in s...

abstract background: previous studies have indicated an unspecific correlation between noise exposure and blood pressure disturbances. blood pressure disturbances could be caused by the environmental hazards such as noise exposure. the aim of this study is to analyze whether there is a relationship between noise exposure and hypertension. methods: atotal sample of 218 workers working in a small...

hearing loss and meningitis were correlate in some aspects. hearing loss is the situation that can be shown in cochlear or retrocochlear defects. cochlear hearing loss is caused by inner or outer hair cell damage (however cochlear hearing loss has another causes, such as defect of arterial spiral ganglion, basilar and tectorial membrane) and retrocochlear hearing loss has neural origin and meni...
