“…The primary mechanism of hearing loss from these fractures is mechanical damage to the middle and inner ear structures. [ 12 , 13 ] Sensorineural hearing loss is more prevalent, especially in cases where the otic capsule is damaged. [ 14 , 15 ] Nonetheless, hearing loss can also arise without any fractures in the temporal bone, due to injuries to the peripheral or central auditory pathways.…”

“…Thin-section computed tomography of the temporal bone helps to confirm the diagnosis. 2 Otosclerosis, classically described as an osteodystrophic change localized to the bony labyrinth and stapes footplate, is of autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. Although no etiology or pathogenesis has been identified, certain clinical and epidemiologic characteristics have been reported.…”

The diagnosis is suspected clinically based on microscopic otoscopy, audiometry, and tympanometry. Thin-section computed tomography of the temporal bone helps to confirm the diagnosis. This case report aimed to promote the importance of tympanometry screening as a diagnostic tool for middle ear pathology. A case of 27-year-old patient came to ENT-OPD at Al-Ameen Medical College and Hospital, Vijayapur with the complaint of decreased hearing since 2 years. The history of intermittant tinnitus and swimming habit with head bath regularly were found in the patient. Also, there were no significant family history of hearing loss, ear discharge, and ear pain. This case report concluded that the continuous head bath may leads to middle ear pathologies like otosclerosis and give importance to tympanometry test for early clinical diagnosis and suggesting for avoiding swimming, and also use of ear plugs as necessary during head bath.

“…Sensorineural hearing loss is the most pervasive type of hearing loss in individuals with TBI,1 with an estimated greater than 90% of cases attributed to this cause 8. Other types of TBI-related hearing loss include conductive and mixed hearing loss, which can result from tympanic membrane perforation, hemotympanum, or ossicular discontinuity 9–12. Hearing loss can also be caused by cranial impact injuries without TBI, such as a ruptured eardrum or damage to the middle ear.…”

“…8 Other types of TBI-related hearing loss include conductive and mixed hearing loss, which can result from tympanic membrane perforation, hemotympanum, or ossicular discontinuity. [9][10][11][12] Hearing loss can also be caused by cranial impact injuries without TBI, such as a ruptured eardrum or damage to the middle ear. An important limitation of current research is that much of the evidence on hearing loss following TBI was collected in military veterans and service members, who have a high prevalence of potentially confounding noise-related hearing loss and tinnitus.…”

Objective: To examine the association between hearing impairment and cognitive function after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Setting: A total of 18 level I trauma centers throughout the United States in the Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in TBI (TRACK-TBI) study. Participants: From February 2014 to June 2018, a total of 2697 participants with TBI were enrolled in TRACK-TBI. Key eligibility criteria included external force trauma to the head, presentation to a participating level I trauma center, and receipt of a clinically indicated head computed tomographic (CT) scan within 24 hours of injury. A total of 1267 participants were evaluated in the study, with 216 participants with hearing impairment and 1051 participants without hearing impairment. Those with missing or unknown hearing status or cognitive assessment were excluded from analysis. Design: Prospective, observational cohort study. Main Measures: Hearing impairment at 2 weeks post-TBI was based on self-report. Participants who indicated worse hearing in one or both ears were defined as having hearing impairment, whereas those who denied worse hearing in either ear were defined as not having hearing impairment and served as the reference group. Cognitive outcomes at 6 months post-TBI included executive functioning and processing speed, as measured by the Trail Making Test (TMT) B/A and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition, Processing Speed Index subscale (WAIS-IV PSI), respectively. Results: TBI-related hearing impairment had a small but significantly greater TMT B/A ratio than without TBI-related hearing impairment: mean difference (B) = 0.25; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.43; P = .005. No significant mean differences on WAIS-IV PSI scores were found between participants with and without TBI-related hearing impairment: B = 0.36; 95% CI, −2.07 to 2.60; P = .825. Conclusion: We conclude that TBI-related hearing impairment at 6 months postinjury was significantly associated with worse executive functioning but not cognitive processing speed.
