<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>

Sensory Neural Hearing Loss

A new instrument for the detection of the postauricular myogenic (PAM) response was used to test the hearing of 106 infants weighing ≤1,500 g when they were aged 1 to 21 months. Eighty-eight infants showed a positive response at 60 dB hearing level (HL) (normal). The other 18 did not respond; four were found to have sensory neural hearing loss and another six had conductive loss due to secretory otitis media. Of the 106 children, 90 aged 2 years or more (mean 27 months) were living in the United Kingdom, and their language development was assessed. It was normal in 67/75 children whose PAM response had been normal in infancy. The remaining eight children with normal PAM responses in infancy, had language delay. All eight children had problems that were thought to account for the delay, including three with mental retardation, three with cerebral palsy, and two whose families did not speak English. Language development was normal in 11/15 children tested whose PAM responses had been found to be abnormal, including all six whose secretory otitis media had been diagnosed and treated at the time of the PAM test. Delay in language development was found in 3/4 children with sensory neural hearing loss who were available for testing and in one child with overall developmental delay. It is concluded that a positive PAM response at 60 dB HL in infancy indicated hearing adequate for the development of normal speech in otherwise normal children among a group of infants at high risk of hearing loss.

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.

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.

Abstract Purpose Cleft palate children have a higher incidence of otitis media with effusion, more frequent recurrent acute otitis media episodes, and worse conductive hearing losses than non-cleft children. Nevertheless, data on adenoidectomy for middle ear disease in this patient group are scarce, since many feared worsening of velopharyngeal insufficiency after the procedure. This review aims at collecting the available evidence on this subject, to frame possible further areas of research and interventions. Methods A PRISMA-compliant systematic review was performed. Multiple databases were searched with criteria designed to include all studies focusing on the role of adenoidectomy in treating middle ear disease in cleft palate children. After duplicate removal, abstract and full-text selection, and quality assessment, we reviewed eligible articles for clinical indications and outcomes. Results Among 321 unique citations, 3 studies published between 1964 and 1972 (2 case series and a retrospective cohort study) were deemed eligible, with 136 treated patients. The outcomes were positive in all three articles in terms of conductive hearing loss improvement, recurrent otitis media episodes reduction, and effusive otitis media resolution. Conclusion Despite promising results, research on adenoidectomy in treating middle ear disease in the cleft population has stopped in the mid-Seventies. No data are, therefore, available on the role of modern conservative adenoidectomy techniques (endoscopic and/or partial) in this context. Prospective studies are required to define the role of adenoidectomy in cleft children, most interestingly in specific subgroups such as patients requiring re-tympanostomy, given their known risk of otologic sequelae.
