“…Hearing threshold in HFA was significantly higher than conventional frequencies (250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, and 8000 Hz) which was consistent with some other studies. [18][19][20][21]26] In most studies 16000, 18000, and 20000 Hz were the most sensitive frequencies to noise.…”

“…There are some studies which have shown higher sensitivity to noise in the frequency range 10000 to 20000 Hz, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] although some studies have not shown this sensitivity. [9,22,23] Some other studies have assessed the importance of HFA in evaluating the auditory effects of ototoxic substances or acoustic trauma.…”

High-frequency audiometry: A means for early diagnosis of noise-induced hearing loss

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), an irreversible disorder, is a common problem in industrial settings. Early diagnosis of NIHL can help prevent the progression of hearing loss, especially in speech frequencies. For early diagnosis of NIHL, audiometry is performed routinely in conventional frequencies. We designed this study to compare the effect of noise on high-frequency audiometry (HFA) and conventional audiometry. In a historical cohort study, we compared hearing threshold and prevalence of hearing loss in conventional and high frequencies of audiometry among textile workers divided into two groups: With and without exposure to noise more than 85 dB. The highest hearing threshold was observed at 4000 Hz, 6000 Hz and 16000 Hz in conventional right ear audiometry, conventional left ear audiometry and HFA in each ear, respectively. The hearing threshold was significantly higher at 16000 Hz compared to 4000. Hearing loss was more common in HFA than conventional audiometry. HFA is more sensitive to detect NIHL than conventional audiometry. It can be useful for early diagnosis of hearing sensitivity to noise, and thus preventing hearing loss in lower frequencies especially speech frequencies.

“…Firstly, substantial hearing loss before treatment was observed in our cohort; high-frequency minimum thresholds were higher at baseline, ranging from 35 to 40 dB over 4 kHz. This may be attributable to the high proportion of smokers in our sample since smoking is a reported risk factor for loss at high frequencies [ 18 , 83 , 84 ]. A history of noise exposure, not assessed in this cohort, could also explain this finding as well as uneven losses in left and right ears not associated with the tumor side [ 85 , 86 , 87 ].…”

Background: Cisplatin (CDDP) is a major ototoxic chemotherapy agent for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treatment. Clinicopathological features and genotypes encode different stages of CDDP metabolism, as their coexistence may influence the prevalence and severity of hearing loss. Methods: HNSCC patients under CDDP chemoradiation were prospectively provided with baseline and post-treatment audiometry. Clinicopathological features and genetic variants encoding glutathione S-transferases (GSTT1, GSTM1, GSTP1), nucleotide excision repair (XPC, XPD, XPF, ERCC1), mismatch repair (MLH1, MSH2, MSH3, EXO1), and apoptosis (P53, CASP8, CASP9, CASP3, FAS, FASL)-related proteins were analyzed regarding ototoxicity. Results: Eighty-nine patients were included, with a cumulative CDDP dose of 260 mg/m2. Moderate/severe ototoxicity occurred in 26 (29%) patients, particularly related to hearing loss at frequencies over 3000 Hertz. Race, body-mass index, and cumulative CDDP were independent risk factors. Patients with specific isolated and combined genotypes of GSTM1, GSTP1 c.313A>G, XPC c.2815A>C, XPD c.934G>A, EXO1 c.1762G>A, MSH3 c.3133A>G, FASL c.-844A>T, and P53 c.215G>C SNVs had up to 32.22 higher odds of presenting moderate/severe ototoxicity. Conclusions: Our data present, for the first time, the association of combined inherited nucleotide variants involved in CDDP efflux, DNA repair, and apoptosis with ototoxicity, which could be potential predictors in future clinical and genomic models.

BackgroundThe detrimental systemic effects of cigarette smoking are well established. Though less pronounced in the field of otology, they are proposed to contribute to the global burden of unaddressed hearing loss. Recently, in efforts to stop smoking, individuals have used electronic cigarettes of which the long-term safety data are largely unknown. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review of cigarette smoking and electronic cigarette effects in the field of otology.MethodRelevant articles were identified by a National Institute for Health and Care Excellence healthcare database literature search and by scanning the references of relevant articles and reviews.ResultsA total of 473 articles were identified, with 43 articles included in the review after trials were excluded.ConclusionCigarette smoking is associated with recurrent otitis media, otitis media with effusion and sensorineural hearing loss in children exposed to second-hand smoke. In adults, it is associated with active and aggressive chronic suppurative otitis media, worse tympanoplasty success rates, increased post-operative complications and sensorineural hearing loss that is more pronounced in the long term and at high frequencies. The effects of e-cigarettes in otology are largely unknown.
