The Voice

The first stage of this project aims to identify assessment measures which include items on voice-hearing by way of a systematic review. The second stage is the development of a brief framework of categories of positive experiences of voice hearing, using a triangulated approach, drawing on views from both professionals and people with lived experience. The third stage will involve using the framework to identify any positve aspects of voice-hearing included in the voice hearing assessments identified in stage 1.

AbstractObjectivePlatinum-based chemotherapy drugs are associated with substantial ototoxicity. The hearing of children treated with these drugs should be closely monitored.MethodA questionnaire was sent out to the 19 audiology departments associated with national paediatric cancer specialist centres in the UK looking at current practice in ototoxicity monitoring.ResultsResponses were received from 17 of 19 centres (89 per cent). All offered some form of audiometric monitoring service. Extended high-frequency testing (9–20 kHz) was only utilised by 7 services (29 per cent). A majority of respondents were reluctant to consider self-test devices in paediatric ototoxicity monitoring (n = 9; 53 per cent). Provision of long-term audiological follow up is sporadic with only 4 (23 per cent) respondents keeping all children with normal hearing under review once treatment is completed.ConclusionWhile some good practice in paediatric ototoxicity was identified, opportunities exist to improve clinical practice and protocols, promote multidisciplinary team working and to utilise technologies such as extended high frequency and self-test audiometry.

Aim: To determine the frequency of sensorineural deafness in child with cerebral palsy. Study Design: Descriptive/cross-sectional Place and Duration of Study: Department of Neurology, Chandka Medical College Hospital, Larkana from 1st October 2020 to 31st March 2021. Methodology: One hundred and seventy patients of both genders age between 1-14 years were enrolled. Children diagnosed as having cerebral palsy and fulfilling the inclusion criteria was included. Hearing assessment was done with audiometry and degree of hearing loss was recorded in both ears in the form of mild, moderate, severe and profound degree of hearing loss. Results: Most of the patients 90 (52.94%) were between 1-5 years old followed by 51(30%) patients between 5-10 years with mean age of 4.8±7.8 years. 115 (67.65%) cases were males and 55 (32.35%) females. 54 (31.8%) cases had microcephaly and116 (68.2) cases had normal head circumference. Among 170 cases of cerebral palsy 48 (28.23%) cases had hearing loss and 122 (71.77%) of patients of CP had no hearing deficit. Among 48 cases of CP with hearing loss 15 (31.25%) cases had mild, 14 (29.17) cases had moderate, 10 (20.83%) had severe and 11 (22.92%) cases had profound hearing loss. Conclusion: The frequency of sensorineural deficit is high and significantly associated with cerebral palsy patients. Keywords: Degree of hearing loss, Sensorineural hearing loss, Cerebral palsy

Assessment Procedures

This study evaluates the efficacy and reliability of auditory stimulus-response control training and assessment procedures with young children (nine to 25 months). The problems encountered in training stimulus-response control are discussed. Results indicate that reliable intertest data can be obtained from young children using stimulus-response control procedures.

Objectives: To compare assessment of hearing by PTA and status of tympanic membrane by oto-endoscope, pre-operative and post-operative tympanoplasty. Study Design: Retrospective/ Comparative study. Setting: Two different hospitals in Karachi. 1-Social Security Landhi Hospital Karachi. 2- Al-Tibri medical College & Hospital, Old Thana, Malir, Karachi. Period: July 2017 to June 2018. Material & Methods: 76 patients were included for this study with both genders who had dry tympanic membrane perforations. Age ranges between 18 to 40 years. Made two groups A (pre-operative and B (post-operative). In group-A, examined tympanic membrane perforations. 45 patients had small size (25%) perforations, 15 medium size (50%) and 16 subtotal (75%). Hearing assessment done by Pure tone Audiometry (PTA). After 1. 2 and 3 months post-tympanoplasty, examined grafted tympanic membrane and compared pre-operated status of tympanic membrane with post-operated status of tympanic membrane. PTA done after 3 months and compared it with pre-operated PTA. Results: Examination of tympanic membrane before tympanoplasty performed, perforations noted in all patients with different sizes in their tympanic membrane. PTA (pure tone audiometry) advised before tympanoplasty to all patients. Weber test performed on 1st post-operated day, it was lateralized towards operated ear which indicate the safety of inner ear. Post-operated 1, 2 and 3 months examined tympanic membrane with oto-endoscope. Intact grafted tympanic membrane seen in 70 patients after 1 months. After 2 months 72 patients had intact grafted tympanic membrane and after 3 months 73 patients out of 76 patients had intact grafted tympanic membrane. PTA also advised after 3 months of tympanoplasty and compared it with pre-operated pure tone audiometry (PTA). Air conduction (AC) decreased 15.39dB after tympanoplasty. AB-gap reduction 13.95dB seen in 73 patients which showed hearing improvement. P value is < 0.001 significant. Conclusion: Tympanoplasty is a good and safe procedure for hearing improvement by reduction of AB-gap as well as provide protection of middle ear mucosa from infections due to closure of perforations of tympanic membranes.
