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.

<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

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.

Age Related Hearing Loss

A number of studies have demonstrated a significant association between age-related hearing loss (ARHL) and cognitive decline. However their relationship is not clear. In this review, we focused on the etiological mechanisms between ARHL and cognitive decline to explain the nature of this relationship: 1) causal mechanisms (e.g., cognitive load hypothesis, cascade hypothesis); 2) common cause mechanisms (e.g., microvascular disease); 3) overdiagnosis or harbinger hypothesis. We conclude that no single mechanism is sufficient and hearing and cognition related to each other in several different ways. In addition, we reviewed the effectiveness of hearing intervention (e.g., hearing aids and cochlear implants) on cognition function, and the role of hearing aid use and cochlear implant depends on the relevant mechanism.

The Voice

Recent studies establish association between hearing loss and cognitive function and evidence exist that hearing damage can exacerbate the negative impact of cognitive impairment in quality of life. Prevalence of hearing loss increases among elderly people living in nursing homes, but the number of residents without hearing aids is high. Whisper voice test is a valid test for screening for hearing impairment. It is frequently used in Primary Care. We applied the voice test in older residents with cognitive impairment and we observed that these subjects failed the repetition of letters. Consequently, we decided to modify the habitual test procedure and employ familiar phrases as screening sound stimulus, on the assumption that they are more easily recognizable. The objective of our study is to establish whether this new technique can be used to screen for hearing loss in older people with mild-moderate cognitive impairment. 62 older residents (mini mental scores > 14) participated in this research. First results reveal that the voice test has high sensitivity and specificity, as well as elevated positive and negative predictive values. The proposed technique could be used as hearing screening tool in a population with similar characteristics.

Purpose Music is an important part of life for many people. Furthermore, music training has been shown to improve a variety of cognitive functions among children and adults. However, little research exists on how children who are hard of hearing (HH) perceive or participate in music. In particular, it is unknown whether hearing loss limits participation in music activities among school-aged children with mild-to-severe hearing loss. The purpose of this study was to determine whether hearing loss limits participation among children who are HH compared to children with normal hearing (NH). Method Participants were parents of 2 cohorts of children finishing 5th grade (approximately 11 years old). Parents were asked to complete a survey (online or paper) regarding the role of music in their child's life. A total of 88 surveys were completed (67 from parents of children who are HH and 21 from parents of children with NH, with an overall response rate of 74%). Results Hearing loss did not limit music participation among children. Children who are HH listened to recorded music, attended live concerts, and practiced an instrument at the same rates as children with NH. Listening to recorded and live music, practicing an instrument, and playing in an ensemble were equally as important to children who are HH as children with NH. Children who are HH were significantly more likely to regularly play in an ensemble than children with NH. Parent participation in music significantly influenced music participation for children who are HH but not children with NH. Descriptive data about music genres, instruments, and ensembles are also presented. Conclusions Children who are HH participate in music at the same or greater rates as children with NH. Parent participation in music may be particularly important for children who are HH. In light of this, music listening should be a consideration when fitting children with hearing aids.
