Deterioration in speech intelligibility, the most common complaint of people with hearing loss, leads to social isolation and dramatically reduces the quality of life. The correction of peripheral hearing loss by hearing aid fitting does not always solve this problem in patients with chronic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). That is why in the process of audiological examination of patients with complaints of hearing loss, it is necessary to include methods of speech audiometry, which make it possible to comprehensively assess the functioning of the auditory system. The aim of the study: assessment of speech intelligibility in patients of different ages with SNHL. 94 people from 20 to 74 years of age were examined: 54 patients with SNHL (14 young and 40 elderly) and 40 people with normal hearing thresholds (20 young and 20 elderly). Besides the standard audiological examination, speech audiometry testing was conducted: evaluation of monosyllabic words intelligibility in quiet, binaural rapidly alternating speech test, dichotic digits test, Russian matrix sentence test (RuMatrix). Results: Speech intelligibility in elderly patients with SNHL was shown to be significantly worse than in young patients with a similar degree of hearing loss. The RuMatrix test in noise was proved to be the most sensitive test for comprehensive evaluation of the hearing system functioning.

Auditory Impairment

Audiometric tests were conducted on 19 subjects with hypophosphatemic bone disease to investigate whether auditory impairment like that reported in affected adults occurs in young patients. No hearing loss or significant auditory findings were noted among the children or young adult patients. However, sensorineural hearing loss of cochlear origin was identified in the three oldest subjects (40 to 58 years), although a history of noise exposure in two of them could explain the observations. The results indicate that if an association exists between hypophosphatemic bone disease and hearing impairment, the auditory signs will not develop until adulthood in treated patients. Additional studies of large populations of affected adults are needed to identify the incidence and mechanism(s) of the auditory system abnormalities and to assess any effect of medical therapy for the metabolic bone disease.

INTRODUCTION: Preoperative anxiety is a frequent condition. Comfortable anesthesia induction and maintenance can be achieved by controlling anxiety. Various agents are used to relieve anxiety and provide sedation. We conducted this study to compare the sedative effects of dexmedetomidine versus midazolam for patients undergoing spinal anesthesia. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES : To compare the sedative effect of both drugs and observe intraoperative and postoperative comfort level, cardiovascular and respiratory changes and side effects of both drugs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty patients between 18-65 years of age requiring spinal anaesthesia for their procedures were selected randomly and division was done in 2 groups (Each group having 30 patients). Group D was given Inj. Dexmedetomidine at the dose of 1 mcg/kg within 10 mins in 100 ml NS and group M was given Inj Midazolam at the dose of 0.04 mg/kg in 100 ml NS within 10 mins. DISCUSSION: Anxiety is more common among young patients, women, and people with negative experience of anesthesia or fear that arises just before the operation and anesthesia my lead to psychological trauma. Various agents such as phenothiazines, bezodiazepines, barbiturates, opioids, propofol, ketamine, dexmedetomidine or clonidine and antihistamines are used to relieve anxiety and provide sedation. Midazolam is a benzodiazepine,commonly used as an intravenous sedative agent for pre-operative sedation. Dexmedetomidine is an alpha-2 agonist which acts on adrenoreceptors in many tissues including the nervous, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Unlike midazolam, dexmedetomidine does not affect the ventilatory response to carbon dioxide, it also produces analgesia which could potentially alleviate pain.
