Acute Acoustic Trauma

Introduction: Acoustic trauma is noise-induced hearing damage. It can occur as a result of a strong sound stimulus or explosion, which causes a pressure wave, which causes in the organism the damage of structures filled with air, e.g. tympanic membrane. Acoustic trauma has many consequences in the form of: deterioration or complete loss of hearing, tinnitus, crackling, feeling of confusion and constant fatigue, headaches and dizziness. It also has a significant impact on the quality of life – it hinders people-to-people contacts and prevents professional activities and may be the cause of depressive disorders. Acoustic trauma can be treated, among others, through the use of hyperbaric therapy, which has a wide spectrum of activity in many fields of medicine. Aim: The aim of the study was to present the legitimacy of using oxygen treatment at increased pressure in a patient after acute acoustic trauma. Material and method: The study was conducted at Hyperbaric Therapy Center CREATOR in Lodz (Didactic and Research Center of the Medical University of Lodz). As a research method, case study was used in an individual patient after an acoustic trauma. Using the extended interview questionnaire and analysis of available medical records. Conclusion: Hyperbaric therapy may be a useful method in the treatment of acute acoustic trauma.

Acute Acoustic Trauma

IntroductionAcute acoustic trauma (AAT) is a sensorineural hearing impairment due to exposure to an intense impulse noise which causes cochlear hypoxia. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) could provide an adequate oxygen supply. The aim was to investigate the effectiveness of early treatment with combined HBO and corticosteroid therapy in patients with AAT compared with corticosteroid monotherapy.MethodsA retrospective study was performed on military personnel diagnosed with AAT between November 2012 and December 2017. Inclusion criteria for HBO therapy were hearing loss of 30 dB or greater on at least one, 25 dB or more on at least two, or 20 dB or more on three or more frequencies as compared with the contralateral ear.ResultsAbsolute hearing improvements showed significant differences (independent t-test) between patients receiving HBO and the control group at 500 Hz (p=0.014), 3000 Hz (p=0.023), 4000 Hz (p=0.001) and 6000 Hz (p=0.01) and at the mean of all frequencies (p=0.002). Relative hearing improvements were significantly different (independent t-test) at 4000 Hz (p=0.046) and 6000 Hz (p=0.013) and at all frequencies combined (p=0.005). Furthermore, the percentage of patients with recovery to the functional level required by the Dutch Armed Forces (clinical outcome score) was higher in the HBO group.ConclusionsEarly-stage combination therapy for patients with AAT was associated with better audiometric results at higher frequencies and better clinical outcome score.

Objective Oxidative damage is a critical role which involves hearing loss induced by impulse noise. That exogenous antioxidant agents reduce noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) has been well demonstrated in both animal studies and clinical practices. Choosing a stronger and more effective antioxidant is very important for treatment of NIHL. Vitamin E, α-lipoic acid, and radix astragali are the most commonly used anti-oxidants for cochlear oxidative damage from acoustic trauma. In this study, the protective effects of radix astragali, α-lipoic acid, and vitamin E on acute acoustic trauma are investigated. Methods Guinea pigs in the experimental groups were intragastrically administered vitamin E, α-lipoic acid, and radix astragali. Auditory thresholds were assessed by sound-evoked auditory brainstem response (ABR) at click and tone bursts of 8, 16 and 32 kHz, 24 hours before and 72 hours after exposure to impulse noise. Cochlear malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations were detected. Hair cell damage was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Results Vitamin E, α-lipoic acid, and radix astragali significantly reduced ABR deficits, reduced hair cell damage, and decreased the concentrations of MDA. α-lipoic acid and radix astragali were better than vitamin E, and there were no significant differences between α-lipoic acid and radix astragali. Conclusions α-lipoic acid or radix astragali are recommended for treatment of NIHL.
