Effects of hearing loss on maintaining and switching attention.

Authors:
Adrian Kc Lee Eric Larson Christi W Miller

The ability to intentionally control attention based on task goals and stimulus properties is critical to communication in many environments. However, when a person has a damaged auditory system, such as with hearing loss, perceptual organization may also be impaired, making it more difficult to direct attention to different auditory objects in the environment. Here we examined the behavioral cost associated with maintaining and switching attention in people with hearing loss compared to the normal hearing population, and found a cost associated with attending to a target stream in a multi-talker environment that cannot solely be attributed to audibility issues.

Introduction: Early detection of hearing loss is important to the management of infants and young children with hearing loss. Pediatricians are often the first to encounter a child suspected to have hearing loss. The objective of this study is to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of newborn hearing screening and management of hearing in among pediatricians. Read More

The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the final outcome of patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

Authors:
Stamatia Dova George Psillas Miltiadis Tsaligopoulos Vasilios Nikolaidis Styliani Stefanidou Georgios Karagiannis Maria Kotsiou Theotokis Kaltzidis Konstantinos Markou

Am J Otolaryngol 2022 Aug 3;43(5):103564. Epub 2022 Aug 3.

2nd Academic ENT Department, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Papageorgiou Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece.

Purpose: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of the combination of systemic steroids (SS) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL).

Materials And Methods: Fifty patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss were allocated into 2 groups: the control group received Dexamethasone IV (SS) and the therapy group received Dexamethasone IV combined with 15 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (SS + HBOT) as initial treatment. Hearing assessment was performed at the admission to hospital and 3 months after the onset of treatment. Read More

Alejandro García Sebastián Rivera Bernardita Alvear-Veas Deborah Goss Melissa Castillo-Bustamante Juan Manuel Garcia

Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol 2022 Aug 11:34894221118424. Epub 2022 Aug 11.

Departamento de Otorrinolaringologia, Fundación Santa Fé de Bogotá, Universidad de Los Andes, Bogota, Colombia.

Objective: Osteoporosis is a chronic systemic disease characterized by low bone mass, progressive microarchitectural deterioration and increased bone fragility. Hearing loss and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) have been found in patients diagnosed with osteoporosis over 65 years, however, there is lack of information about these conditions in young patients. Herein, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to provide evidence of the association between osteoporosis and audio-vestibular findings in young subjects. Read More
