Prevalence of tinnitus and/or hyperacusis in children and adolescents: study protocol for a systematic review
INTRODUCTION There is some debate as to what extent epidemiological data for the prevalence of childhood tinnitus can be relied on. While indications are that the prevalence is relatively high, referral numbers for children with tinnitus are reported to be low and many of the studies have a number of methodological difficulties. We describe the protocol of a systematic review aimed at assessing...
متن کاملHyperacusis, sound annoyance, and loudness hypersensitivity in children.
The objective of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of hyperacusis among school-aged children. We define hyperacusis as lowered loudness discomfort levels (LDL) associated with an abnormal annoyance to sounds. We used questionnaires, interviews, and estimates of LDL in a study of 506 children from 5 to 12 years of age from 15 different schools. Participants with LDL in the lowest ...
متن کاملPrevalence of tinnitus and hyperacusis in children and adolescents: a systematic review
OBJECTIVES To systematically review studies of the epidemiology of tinnitus and hyperacusis in children and young people, in order to determine the methodological differences implicated in the variability of prevalence estimates and the influence of population characteristics on childhood tinnitus and hyperacusis. DATA SOURCES Articles were retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus databases a...
متن کاملAn active loudness model suggesting tinnitus as increased central noise and hyperacusis as increased nonlinear gain.
The present study uses a systems engineering approach to delineate the relationship between tinnitus and hyperacusis as a result of either hearing loss in the ear or an imbalanced state in the brain. Specifically examined is the input-output function, or loudness growth as a function of intensity in both normal and pathological conditions. Tinnitus reduces the output dynamic range by raising th...
متن کاملPathology of Tinnitus and Hyperacusis-Clinical Implications
Not long ago, tinnitus and hyperacusis were considered intractable symptoms and the lack of interest and shortage of research in diseases with these symptoms would have made publishing a special issue on tinnitus and hyperacusis nearly impossible. During the past two decades, there has been an explosion of research on tinnitus and incremental growth on hyperacusis, a condition associated with h...
