“…In recent years, studies have shown that especially in young people, increased attention to portable personal music devices (MP3 player, IPod, mobile phones) causes noise-induced hearing loss, because of which age-related hearing loss occurs in the early stages of life (4,10,12,13). The efferent hearing system plays an important role in auditory perception in humans.…”

“…The noise-induced hearing loss in workers due to workplace noise in the past is now evident in the form of hearing loss due to noise from environmental conditions or entertainment venues (12). In recent years, the rapid expansion of listening music with portable MP3 players and mobile phones has significantly increased the exposure to loud sound intensity levels (13), and especially in young population listening to their favorite music can be a risk factor for permanent hearing loss. In these studies, it has been shown that listening to music with these devices at 100 dBA for 15 min is same as a worker who has to work 8 h in a noisy workplace at a level of 85 dBA (14).…”

Objective: In this study, a protective role of the olivocochlear efferent system activation on the hearing system in young individuals after music exposure (ME) was investigated. Methods: Twenty two young adults aged 19-22 years (mean age±standard deviation, 19.63±0.83) with normal hearing participated in the study. All participants listened to music at 85.4 dBA for 30 minutes. An audiological evaluation including pure tone audiometry, immittance measurements, Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAEs), and Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAEs) with and without contralateral acoustic stimuli (CAS) was done before ME, immediately after ME, and after a rest period. Results: No significant differences in pure tone audiometry and the DPOAE signal-to-noise ratio (S/N-R) results were found among the three measurement sessions (before ME, immediately after ME, and after the rest period) in all measured frequencies (p>0.05). There was a significant increase in the contralateral stapes reflex threshold at 0.5 kHz, measured immediately after ME (p=0.02), while no significant difference was found in the measured frequency after resting (p>0.05). In the TEOAE S/N-R responses, a statistically significant decrease was found at 1 kHz (p=0.016) and 1.4 kHz (p=0.009) immediately after ME, whereas no significant difference was found between the TEOAE S/N-R responses measured before ME and after resting (p>0.05). Compared to the conditions before the exposure, there was a statistically significant decrease (p<0.001) in all center frequencies measured immediately after ME and after resting conditions in the TEOAE amplitudes obtained in the presence of CAS. Conclusion: The contralateral stapes reflex thresholds increase after ME, and a significant suppression effect of the TEOAE amplitudes in the presence of CAS suggests that the olivocochlear efferent system plays a role in protecting the auditory system from acoustic trauma.

“…Se empleó el método Hugson Westlake modificado para pesquisar los umbrales audiométricos aéreos convencionales y de alta frecuencia 11 . Se utilizó la presencia de escotoma en la frecuencia de 4.000 Hz (gold standard) en la audiometría convencional para clasificar a los sujetos como hipoacúsicos [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] . Luego, en la audiometría de alta frecuencia primero se realizó la conversión de umbrales medidos en dB HL a SPL, según metodología publicada por Frank (1990) 13 ; posteriormente, se clasificó como hipoacúsicos a los sujetos que presentaron umbrales auditivos superiores, en una o más frecuencias, a los valores de normalidad aportados por Lagos y López (2016) 14 .…”

“…1 As hearing loss is a natural phenomenon with age, most commonly thought to be seen in the elderly, now a days it is also common in younger people due to the frequent usage of mobile phones and earphones. 2 Since centuries ago music has been one of the main forms of entertainment, whether it is for dances, concerts, functions, and radios. The genre and style of music is countless thus the admirers and lovers of music.…”

“…From speakers to earphones/headphones have the trend traveled, enabling students with chaos work schedules to listen to music during free hours, travelling, or for stress relief. 2 The dangers of music-induced hearing loss however are seldom looked upon. When people are exposed to harmful noise for a prolonged duration of time, the hair cells present in the inner ear are damaged causing noise-induced-hearing loss (NIHL).…”

Introduction: Hearing loss occurs as age increases, but these days seen affecting young adults as well. This could be due to the current increasing trend of chronic usage of personal listening devices (PLDs) such as mobile phones and earphones, which causes damage to the inner hair cells of the ear. Objectives: To study the prevalence of chronic PLD users among medical students and to assess the proportion of sensorineural hearing loss among them. To assess the perceived effects of listening to PLDs among chronic and non-chronic users of PLDs in medical students. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was done among 420 medical students of Dr. Somervell Memorial CSI Medical College in 2016. Basic information was collected from each student using a self administered predesigned and pretested questionnaire and chronic users were selected and subjected to pure tone audiometry and otoacoustic emissions (OAE). Results: Of the 420 students consented for the study, 44% were chronic users of PLDs. 120 students were subjected to audiometry and OAE. The total prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss was found to be 5% with high frequency hearing loss and 18.3% for low frequency hearing loss OAE results were normal in all individuals. The main associated complaints were poor academic performance, lack of sleep, limb pain and road side accidents. Conclusion:This study concluded only mild degree sensorineural hearing loss among chronic users of PLDs. However the associated complaints such as poor academic performance and roadside accidents were comparatively more in chronic users than non-chronic users.
