OBJECTIVE To compare pure-tone audiometry and auditory steady state response (ASSR) to measure hearing loss based on the severity of hearing loss in frequencies. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING A total of 105 subjects (168 ears, 64 male and 41 female) were enrolled in this study. We determined hearing level by measurement of pure-tone audiometry and ASSR on the same day for each subject. RESULTS P...

Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the rare causes of hearing loss which may cause reversible or irreversible, unilateral or bilateral hearing loss after acute or chronic exposure. In this report, we present a case of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss in a secondary smelting workshop worker after an acute exposure to carbon monoxide. This complication was diagnosed by pure-tone audiometry a...

Background: Annual type 1 diabetes cases in children under the age of 15 are estimated to be around 96,000 worldwide. The pathophysiological explanation for diabetes-related hearing loss is speculative. Usually, bilateral, gradual onset, affecting higher frequencies. It a well-known entity 2 diabetic mellitus. This study aims at knowing prevalence with mellitus respect duration Materials and Me...

Aim:Our study aims at evaluate auditory dysfunction in patients with diabetes mellitus aged above 50 years as compared to non-diabetic patient,it’s relationshipwith the duration of diabetes and HbA1c levels and to evaluatethe central auditory pathway involvement in diabetic patients by Brainstem Evoked response audiometry(BERA). Materials And Methods: A cross sectional, comparative clinical stu...

UNLABELLED Some pharmaceutical products are capable of damaging the human auditory system. Technological progress has provided numerous resources to monitor hearing but there still is some controversy regarding the selection of the most sensitive and specific tests. OBJECTIVE to analyze audiological procedures used in the auditory monitoring of individuals exposed to ototoxic medication. ME...

It is often possible to elicit the stapedius reflex in patients suffering from recessive X-linked progressive mixed deafness syndrome with stapes gusher. The presence of an air-bone gap in the audiogram and the ability to elicit the stapedius reflex are conflicting. Measurements were performed on two patients who were suffering from this syndrome, to establish whether the hearing loss was of th...
