Abstract Background Enterovirus has been described as a cause of aseptic meningitis in humorally immunosuppressed patients. Case presentation A 67-year-old female with a history of mantle cell lymphoma on rituximab therapy presented with subacute hepatitis, myalgias, and sensorineural hearing loss several months after an initial febrile illness. She was diagnosed with enterovirus infection by CSF PCR as a unifying etiology of her presentation, representing an unusual presentation of disease. Discussion and conclusions This patient’s unique presentation and clinical course presents important implications in the care of similarly immunosuppressed patients with cryptic complaints.

Objective. To review our experience with intratympanic steroids (ITSs) for the treatment of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL), emphasizing the ideal time to perform follow-up audiograms.Methods. Retrospective case review of patients diagnosed with ISSNHL treated with intratympanic methylprednisolone. Injections were repeated weekly with a total of 3 injections. Improvement was defined as an improved pure-tone average ≥20 dB or speech-discrimination score ≥20%.Results. Forty patients met the inclusion criteria with a recovery rate of 45% (18/40). A significantly increased response rate was found in patients having an audiogram >5 weeks after the first dose of ITS (9/13) over those tested ≤5 weeks after the first dose of ITS (9/27) ().Conclusions. Recovery from ISSNHL after ITS injections occurs more frequently >5 weeks after initiating ITS. This may be due to the natural history of sudden hearing loss or the prolonged effect of steroid in the inner ear.

Background: Hearing loss is an infrequently-reported consequence of recreational drug abuse. Although there are sporadic reports of hearing loss from heroin and cocaine ingested separately, there are no reports of hearing loss resulting from the combination of both drugs ingested simultaneously in the form of speedballing. Purpose: The purpose of this report is to document a case of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss associated with an episode of speedballing. Research Design: Case Report Data Collection And Analysis: The subject of this report was a 40-year-old man with a 20-year history of substance abuse. Data collected included a case history, pure tone audiometry, tympanometry and acoustic reflexes, and transient evoked otoacoustic emissions. Results: The audiologic evaluation indicated a mild to moderate, relatively flat, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss that was worse in the right ear. Conclusions: A bilateral sensorineural hearing loss involving both cochlear and neural pathology may be a rare complication of cocaine, heroin, or the combination of the two drugs.

Objective This study aimed to determine the prevalence of nonsyndromic congenital sensorineural hearing loss at the Hospital Universitario San Ignacio, Bogotá, Colombia, and to describe the risk factors associated with this condition.Materials and Methods A prospective, observational cross-sectional study with bivariate analysis was conducted. A three-phase process using the Otoacoustic Emissions test screened all live newborns between June 2013 and June 2014. Negative cases were confirmed by Automated Auditory Brainstem Response test.Results A total of 962 newborns were screened with Otoacoustic Emissions test bilaterally: 401 males (46.36%), 464 females (53.64%). The mean weight was 2 798.10 g (95%CI: 2 766.51 - 2 839.76). The mean height was 48.60 cm (95%CI: 48.38 - 48.79). The mean age was 16.24 days (95%CI: 15.47 - 17.01). The mean maternal age was 27.37 years (95%CI: 26.76 - 27.98). There was a family history of hearing loss in 9.48% of the cases (n=90), and a family history of genetic diseases in 100 cases (10.56%). There were 14 cases of TORCH infections (1.45%), 375 admissions to the NICU (39.06%), 160 cases of neonatal jaundice (20.1%), and 79 cases of postpartum infections (8.21%). One live newborn presented with microtia.Conclusions The prevalence of congenital sensorineural hearing loss was 0.31% in both ears, and 0.11% in one ear. Currently, Colombia lacks a public universal newborn hearing screening program, and its future implementation faces great challenges.

This is a prospective in-depth study of patients with sudden idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss. We found that 65% recover completely to functional hearing levels spontaneously and independent of any type of medical treatment. The majority do so within 14 days and many within the first few days. Prognosis can be predicted according to the slope of the initial audiogram (low-frequency losses do better than high-frequency losses), hearing at 8 kHz, erythrocyte sedimentation rates, in some select instances spatial disorientation symptoms, and speech discrimination scores. There was a very poor correlation between hearing and vestibular test abnormalities, except hypoactive calorics. There were no correlations with age (excepting the very elderly), with antecedent respiratory infections. hypertension, diabetes, or other chronic diseases. We conclude that there is a fundamental difference in the behavior of apical and basal cochlea losses, that hearing recovery is always better at low than at high frequencies, that because of the high spontaneous recovery rates, tympanotomies seeking perilymph fistulas should be delayed ten days unless there is a progressive hearing loss, and that none of the current recommended treatments, especially histamine, have any effect on the outcome.

AbstractBackground:Larsen's syndrome is primarily known as an orthopaedic disease. However, it has been found to be associated with conductive hearing loss caused by ossicular malformation. The possibility of a sensorineural hearing impairment as an additional part of this syndrome has been rather neglected in the past.Method:Case report and literature review.Patient and results:We present a teenage boy suffering from typical Larsen's syndrome. Despite no history of recurrent middle-ear infections, he showed a bilaterally symmetrical, mixed hearing loss dominated by an extensive sensorineural component. In order to review the corresponding literature, a Medline search was performed using the criteria ‘Larsen's syndrome’ and ‘hearing loss/deficit’.Conclusion:The literature review showed the presented case to be the first sufficiently documented report describing a predominant sensorineural hearing loss in a Larsen's syndrome patient. Although a specific association of Larsen's syndrome with sensorineural hearing loss is still speculative, this case might give grounds for further examinations of this rare finding.

AbstractObjective:To present a case of a 60-year-old male with a history of sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss due to Churg–Strauss syndrome.Case report:The patient had a 20-year history of asthma and recurrent right otitis media and a nasal polypectomy four years prior to presenting with ear symptoms. Ear, nose and throat involvement is common in Churg–Strauss syndrome, usually manifesting as allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis with or without polyps.Conclusions:Otolaryngologists play an important role in making an early diagnosis of this disease. To our knowledge this is the first case of Churg–Strauss syndrome primarily presenting with otological pathology: left sensorineural hearing loss and right otitis media.
