OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in β-thalassaemia patients treated with Desferrioxamine (DFO) and determine the correlation of SNHL with average daily DFO dosage, serum ferritin level and Therapeutic index (T.I). METHODS This is a cross sectional descriptive study carried out for a period of 14 months and 54 patients were recruited. T...

INTRODUCTION Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) occurs due to the deposition of extracellular fibrillar materials on the anterior chamber of the eye. This syndrome has been considered to be part of a systemic disease with the potential involvement of the inner ear called sensoroneural hearing loss (SNHL). In this study, we aimed on evaluating SNHL within PXS patients in Iran to compare them with ...

This study explored whether the time-compressed speech perception varied with the degree of hearing loss in high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss (HF SNHL) individuals. 65 HF SNHL individuals with different cutoff frequencies were recruited and further divided into mildly, moderately, and/or severely affected subgroups in terms of the averaged thresholds of all frequencies exhibiting hearin...

introduction Dysfunction of inner ear, vestibulocochlear nerve or central brain processing centers leads to sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) is a rare but potentially treatable cause of hearing loss, characterized by progressive evolution over weeks to months.1 In 1958, an antigen-antibody reaction was described in 13 patients with progressive bilateral SNH...

A detailed analysis of risk factors for the development of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) was carried out in 199 forest workers. The hearing threshold of both ears at 4000 Hz was measured, and the effect of age, exposure to noise, blood pressure, presence of vibration induced white finger (VWF), tobacco smoking, plasma LDL-cholesterol concentration, and consumption of drugs were evaluated by...

Background: The association of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in diabetes mellitus patients is known since decades, yet there no clear consensus among previous studies, with respect to the prevalence SNHL type 2 and effect duration control on acuity. Hence objectives this study are find loss. Methods: present was conducted 100 age gender matched non- diabetic controls group < 50 yrs, selecte...

Objective This study aims to determine whether the risks of cardiocerebrovascular disease are relevant sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) based on a national database. Methods A total 1,321 participants aged from 18 69 with complete data including medical history and audiometry NHANES database (2015–2018) were analyzed. All included had available average thresholds measured calculated as low-fre...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The present study aimed to examine whether the response patterns to the chimeric lexical tone tokens, combined with their pure tone audiometry (PTA) results, could separate listeners with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) from listeners with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD). STUDY DESIGN Case-control study. METHODS Forty-three SNHL subjects and 46 ANSD subj...

Temporal information in a signal can be partitioned into temporal envelope (E) and fine structure (FS). Fine structure is important for lexical tone perception for normal-hearing (NH) listeners, and listeners with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) have an impaired ability to use FS in lexical tone perception due to the reduced frequency resolution. The present study was aimed to assess which of...

AIM To examine the yield of computed tomography (CT) of the temporal bones when investigating sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and to identify factors associated with CT findings. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 116 consecutively investigated children with bilateral SNHL at the audiology department of Great Ormond Street Hospital, London. Main outcome measures were CT results, hearing loss...
