Sensorineural Hearing Impairment

Recent reports concerning the use of acupuncture as a possible treatment for sensorineural hearing impairment were reviewed and evaluated. It was concluded that acupuncture has no effect upon the hearing ability of individuals with sensorineural losses. Further, it was suggested that subjective feelings of improvement represent a placebo effect resulting from the application of a treatment that patients believe might work and not from acupuncture itself.

AbstractA representative sample of 6421 Saudi children were clinically examined and screened for hearing loss. Hearing impairment was detected in 494 children (7.7 per cent). In 326 of the children it was due to chronic secretory and suppurative otitis media (5.07 per cent) and in 168 of them sensorineural hearing loss (2.6 per cent).The study revealed that parental education, low income, and employment of the mother showed a slightly higher at risk rate of hearing impairment. Children from related parents were also at a higher risk of hearing impairment and they demonstrated a marked adverse effect on the incidence of hereditary sensorineural hearing impairment. Comparison with other surveys of school children in developed and developing countries has been carried out.

Sensorineural Hearing Impairment

Over the last decade, a number of distinct mutations in the mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) have been found to be associated with both syndromic and non-syndromic forms of hearing impairment. Their real incidence as a cause of deafness is poorly understood and generally underestimated. Among the known mtDNA mutations, the A1555G mutation in the 12S gene has been identified to be one of the most common genetic cause of deafness, and it has been described to be both associated to non-syndromic progressive SNHL (sensorineural hearing loss) and to aminoglycoside-induced SNHL. In the present study, we have investigated the presence of mtDNA alterations in patients affected by idiopathic non-syndromic SNHL, both familiar and sporadic, in order to evaluate the frequency of mtDNA alterations as a cause of deafness and to describe the audiological manifestations of mitochondrial non-syndromic SNHL. In agreement with previous studies, we found the A1555G mutation to be responsible for a relevant percentage (5.4%) of cases affected with isolated idiopathic sensorineural hearing impairment.

AbstractTo determine whether translabyrinthine acoustic surgery may result in a drill-generated, bone-conducted sensorineural hearing impairment in the contralateral ear, the audiograms from 50 consecutive patients with acoustic neuromas undergoing the translabyrinthine approach were compared before and three months after surgery. No case of sensorineural hearing impairment could be demonstrated post-operatively.

Congenital Hearing Impairment

The medical records of 84 children with severe-to-profound bilateral congenital sensorineural hearing loss were reviewed. Records of an eye examination were available for 64 children. In 5 patients (8% of those examined), an eye examination confirmed a previously suspected cause of deafness, and in another 5 children (8%), a diagnosis that had not been suspected was made. Congenital syndromes caused by environmental or hereditary factors, which involve sensorineural hearing impairment and abnormal eye findings, are reviewed. The importance of an eye examination for all children with congenital sensorineural hearing impairment is stressed.

Sensorineural Hearing Impairment

One hundred and twenty-nine children who had indirect serum bilirubin levels over 20 mg/100 ml during the neonatal period were examined at approximately 5 years of age. Only seven children showed sequelae. All had sensorineural hearing impairment, associated in three with aphasia, and in one with mental retardation. Three were mildly athetotic, three had hearing loss alone. Our study would suggest that multiple exchange transfusions are effective in preventing long-term sequaelae due to hyperbilirubinemia.

AbstractUnilateral hearing loss has been reported as an unusual complication in general anaesthesia, and so far no reports on bilateral hearing loss have been published. In this paper we present a case with bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment immediately following a minor abdominal surgical procedure. The literature is reviewed and the mechanisms causing hearing loss during anaesthesia are discussed.
