Sensory Neural Hearing Loss

Noise induced hearing loss NIHL is irreversible sensory neural deafness in one or both ears which develops gradually due to chronic exposure to injurious noise. In this study there were 92 workers chosen under exclusion and inclusion criteria, most of the samples study were male due to hard handling working, 40% of the samples studied were complaining of SNHL (sensory neural hearing loss) are variable from mild to sever one. Although they have normal otoscopic finding, the longer the duration of noise exposure the more damaging effect with SNHL result. There are no preventive measures used in our sample study. NIHL is preventable disease which needs the role of social media in education of peoples.

Sensory Neural Hearing Loss

Ear is a very important sensory organ of hearing. Loss of hearing has a very negative impact on one’s social, pro- fessional and personal life. According to WHO (1st March 2020), there are over 5% of the world’s population are suffering from hearing loss. It is estimated that by the year 2050, 1 in every 10 people will have hearing loss. There are many modern interventions which have been used nowadays like hearing aids, etc. But it is not possible for everyone to afford such treatment. To provide effective and alternative treatment for the betterment of society with simple and less expensive local administrative treatment with the help of Ayurvedic modalities i.e. Karnapoorana (instillation of medicated volatile oil into external auditory canal) of Bilwa Taila (Bilwa oil), Katu Taila (Katu oil), Arka (volatile oil), etc. Arkas are prepared by the combination of Jala (water) and Agni (fire) and it assimilates in the body very quickly, hence it can be used in the management of Badhirya (dwindle hearing). Considering all this, the study is planned for the Evaluation of Vacha Arka Karnapoorana in Badhirya W.S.R. To Sensory Neural Hear- ing Loss. Keywords: Sensorineural hearing loss, Vacha Arka, Badhirya, Karnapoorana.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The role of chronic inflammatory disease of the middle ear as a cause of sensory neural hearing loss (SNHL) is still debatable. Therefore, the role of this study to see if there is a relation between SNHL and duration of chronic supportive otitis media (CSOM), socio-economic (SE) status and age of patient.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The hospital based case series study was conducted on all CSOM patients coming to ENT out-patient department in S. Nijalingappa Medical College and Hanagal Shri Kumareshwar (HSK) Hospital, Bagalkot, Karnataka over a period of one and a half years. After clinical examination, hearing evaluation was done using PTA as main tool.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Based on the present study, overall proportion of patients with SNHL was 20.66%. No relation of SNHL was found between sex and SE status of patient. No relation was found between severity of SNHL and age of patient. No relation was found between severity of SNHL and duration of CSOM. This present study shows that patients with CSOM with increased age have a greater chance of developing SNHL. Also, as the duration of CSOM increases there is a greater chance to develop SNHL.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> This study shows that the chance of developing SNHL in CSOM increases with age and disease duration. Hence, we can conclude that CSOM should be treated appropriately as early as possible to reduce the risk of developing SNHL in patients with CSOM.</p>

Noise exposure (NE) has been recognized as one of the causes of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), which can bring about irreversible damage to sensory hair cells in the cochlea, through the launch of oxidative stress pathways and inflammation. Accordingly, determining the molecular mechanism involved in regulating hair cell apoptosis via NE is essential to prevent hair cell damage. However, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the degeneration of sensory cells of the cochlea during NE has not been so far uncovered. Thus, the main purpose of this study was to demonstrate the regulatory role of miRNAs in the oxidative stress pathway and inflammation induced by NE. In this respect, articles related to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), oxidative stress, inflammation, and miRNA from various databases of Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Google Scholar, PubMed; Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (LISTA), and Web of Science were searched and retrieved. The findings revealed that several studies had suggested that up-regulation of miR-1229-5p, miR-451a, 185-5p, 186 and down-regulation of miRNA-96/182/183 and miR-30b were involved in oxidative stress and inflammation which could be used as biomarkers for NIHL. There was also a close relationship between NIHL and miRNAs, but further research is required to prove a causal association between miRNA alterations and NE, and also to determine miRNAs as biomarkers indicating responses to NE.

Sensory Neural Hearing Loss

Introduction Incidence of sensory neural hearing loss following mastoid surgery varies from 1.2 – 4.5%.There are various causes for postoperative sensorineural hearing loss during mastoid surgery. This study aims to identify whether there is any correlation between drilling and postoperative sensory neural hearing loss. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted in the Department of ENT from January 2018 to June 2019. A total number of 68 patients above five years of age who underwent modified radical mastoidectomy for chronic otitis media squamous were included. Revision surgery, preoperative sensorineural hearing loss, injury to the ossicular chain during surgery, patients with lack of follow up or doubtful reports in mentally challenged were excluded from the study. The average bone conduction threshold was calculated from 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 Hz and compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. ResultsThere were 43 males and 25 females in the study with a median age of 23.5 years (16-55). The mean preoperative bone conduction threshold in the four frequencies of 500 Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz were -2.06dB, -2.06dB, 3.31dB, 4.63 dB respectively and the mean postoperative bone conduction thresholds were 1.03, 1.32, 5.29, 4.04 respectively. There was a decline of mean of 3.09 dB and 3.38dB only at the low-frequencies (500Hz and 1kHz) BC threshold respectively which were statistically significant, whereas at higher frequency there was no decline in average postoperative BC threshold. ConclusionThere is no definite role of drill in inducing hearing loss and if present other causes of hearing loss should be sought in postoperative sensorineural hearing loss.

Sensory Neural Hearing Loss

In patients who are thought to have a perilymph (PL) fistula, careful inspection of the round and oval windows during exploratory tympanotomy may be normal. The decision must then be made either to terminate the procedure—knowing that the patient's symptoms will probably continue or deteriorate—or to repair both windows as if PL fistulas were present, risking further damage to the inner ear. From a series of 14 patients explored for possible PL fistulas, we report on 6 patients with preoperative diagnoses of PL fistula, based on history, physical examination, and audiometry. Symptoms resulting from trauma were present from 10 days to 23 years before surgery. During exploratory tympanotomy, no fistulas were evident; however, both the oval and round windows were repaired with tissue grafts. Follow up—for 1 to 5 years—revealed that vertigo was relieved in all patients. Postoperatively, one patient had a mild conductive hearing loss; yet no patient sustained a sensory neural hearing loss. We conclude that patch grafting of both the oval and round windows is a safe and effective method of treating suspected, but inapparent fistulas. Patient selection, surgical technique, and results shall be detailed.
