INTRODUCTION With improved access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV infection is becoming a chronic illness. Preliminary data suggest that HIV-infected children have a higher risk of disabilities, including hearing impairment, although data are sparse. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and types of hearing loss in HIV-infected children in Lilongwe, Malawi. METHODS This was a cros...
BACKGROUND Sudden onset hearing loss (SOHL) has a number of causes, ranging from the simple and reversible to the profound and permanent. The sequelae of a sudden loss of hearing can be significant. OBJECTIVE This article seeks to address the various aetiologies of SOHL, how they can be diagnosed at the earliest opportunity, and outlines the methods of investigation and management. DISCUSSI...
The hearing of 28 children, born with a diagnosis of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) and treated with inhaled nitric oxide, was followed. The latest test for the children varied from 5 to 30 months. Of this group, three children had mild conductive hearing losses; no child had a significant sensorineural hearing loss.
BACKGROUND/AIM Prevention of the consequences of hearing loss can be accomplished by early hearing screening of the cochlear function in newborus, but also with continuous hearing screening in the early childhood. The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and feasibility of otoacoustic emissions (OAE) in hearing screening in children, evaluate the frequency and type of hearing lo...
Introduction & Objective: Conductive hearing loss following otitis media (OM) attenuates and delays sound passing through the middle ear. This may impair central auditory functions (such as binaural hearing) and lead to central impairments that persist after the peripheral loss has resolved. This study investigated the effects of chronic otitis media (COM) on central auditory function in chil...
UNLABELLED In newborn hearing screening little importance is attributed to changes in the middle ear. Children with secretory otitis in the neonatal period are at risk for developing otitis media in the first year of life. AIM To determine if children who failed the hearing screening because of conductive hearing loss have more episodes of conductive hearing impairment during their first year...
Materials and methods Children were recruited from outpatient clinics within Tygerberg Children’s Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. Caregiver report of middle ear infections was obtained through a questionnaire. Bilateral otoscopy, tympanometry, then pure-tone testing was completed. Hearing loss was defined as a pure-tone average (PTA) of 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz of >15 decibels of heari...
Earpits syndrome is a very rare kind of syndrome deafness and inherited as autosomal dominant. A study was taken up to understand the prevalence of this syndrome in children below the age of 14 years with hearing loss. Out of 743 children with hearing impairment, earpits syndrome was observed in 2(0.27%) cases. Both the children were the products of consanguineous marriage. Mixed hearing loss w...
Objective: To analyze the results of pure tone audiometry in terms age, sex, and type hearing loss attending hospital with complaint loss. Materials Methods: In this descriptive study, patients Benazir Bhutto complaints were included. The data analysis was done under sex unilateral/bilateral, after every case. determined as conductive, SNHL, mixed loss.Results: There 47 patients. Males 34 (72.3...
A number of viral infections can cause hearing loss. Hearing loss induced by these viruses can be congenital or acquired, unilateral or bilateral. Certain viral infections can directly damage inner ear structures, others can induce inflammatory responses which then cause this damage, and still others can increase susceptibility or bacterial or fungal infection, leading to hearing loss. Typicall...
