IntroductionDementia is a prevalent disease affecting a growing number of the ageing population. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. Previous research investigated the link between hearing loss and cognition, and the effect of vestibular dysfunction on cognition. Hearing loss and, to a lesser extent, vestibular decline both result in a decreasing cognitive function. However, their interaction should not be underestimated. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of hearing loss, vestibular decline and their interaction on cognition in people suffering from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia due to AD (ADD).Methods and analysisWe designed a prospective longitudinal study to assess the effect of hearing loss and vestibular decline on cognition. A total of 100 cognitively impaired elderly (between 55 and 84 years of age), consisting of 60 patients with MCI due to AD and 40 patients with ADD will be included. The control group will consist of individuals with preserved cognition group-matched based on age, hearing level and vestibular function. A comprehensive assessment is performed at baseline, 12-month and 24-month follow-ups. The primary outcome measure is the change in the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status adjusted for Hearing-impaired individuals total score, a cognitive test battery assessing different cognitive domains. Secondary outcome measures include additional neuropsychological assessments, cortical auditory-evoked potentials, and evaluation of general and disease-specific health-related quality of life. Variables include cognitive, audiological and vestibular evaluation. Variance analyses will assess the effect of hearing loss and vestibular decline on cognition. More precisely, the link between hearing loss and non-spatial cognitive functioning, the effect of vestibular decline on spatial cognition and the impact of both factors on the rate of conversion from MCI due to AD to ADD will be investigated.Ethics and disseminationThe study protocol was approved by the ethical committee of the Antwerp University Hospital on 4 February 2019 with protocol number B300201938949. The findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov Registry (NCT04385225).

AbstractIntroduction:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma can present with a variety of symptoms the most common being painless cervical lymph node metastases, epistaxis and conductive hearing loss.Case report:We report a case of an 18-year-old male patient presenting to the ENT department with left sided carotidynia – severe pain in the neck radiating up to his ear. He had a small, exquisitely tender lump just below the bifurcation of the left common carotid artery. After the appropriate investigations he was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Discussion:In a literature search on Medline and Pubmed we found no reported cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma presenting with carotidynia, nor was carotidynia ever found to be associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Conclusion:We believe that this is the first reported case of such a presentation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Background. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor that grows in the nasopharyngeal area with predilection in the fossa Rossenmuller and the nasopharyngeal roof adjacent to the Eustachian tube, so one of NPC’s early symptoms is ear symptoms. Hearing loss is a common symptom found in people with NPC due to dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, a continuing middle ear disorder that can result in conductive hearing loss.This study aims to find out the relationship between primary tumor of NPC and the degree of conductive hearing loss at dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang. Methods. This is a cross sectional study that obtained 42 samples from the medical records at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study subjects collected in total sampling have been conducted audiometry examinations at the ORLHNS clinic of Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang during the period January 2019 - April 2021. Results. The proportion of hearing loss in NPC patients in this study was 30 subjects (71.4%) with the highest proportion of hearing loss complaints being 33.3%. The proportion of conductive hearing loss of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients in the study was 33 subjects (78.5%) right ear and 28 subjects (66.7%) left ear. There was a significant association between the degree of the NPC primary tumor and the incidence of conductive deafness of the left ear, but there was no significant association in the right ear. There is a significant correlation between NPC primary tumors and left ear hearing thresholds at frequencies of 500 Hz and 4000 Hz, but there is no significant association between the degree of NPC primary tumor and right ear hearing loss. Conclusions. There is significant correlation between the primary tumor of NPC and the hearing threshold of the left ear but there was no significant association in the right ear.
