“…For example, this bias is commonly observed in the vestibular schwannoma literature, in which persons will report significant exposures related to hearing (eg, occupational noise exposure) after learning that they have developed a tumor on their hearing nerve; however, prior objective, population-based studies that do not rely on surveys demonstrate no such association. [18][19][20] Considering these methodological limitations of prior research, we believe the data from the current study do not support the assertion that pregnancy increases the risk of developing otosclerosis nor does it contribute to worsening hearing loss.…”

Objective This study sought to determine whether a history of pregnancy or bilateral oophorectomy is associated with subsequent otosclerosis development or disease severity. Study Design Population-based case-control study. Setting Olmsted County, Minnesota. Methods Women diagnosed with otosclerosis were matched to 3 women without otosclerosis based on age and historical depth of medical records. Associations of prior delivery and bilateral oophorectomy with subsequent development of otosclerosis and with pure-tone average (PTA) at the time of otosclerosis diagnosis were evaluated. Results We studied 1196 women: 299 cases of otosclerosis and 897 matched controls. The odds ratio for the association of ≥1 delivery with otosclerosis was 1.16 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.85-1.60; P = .35). Odds ratios for the associations of 1, 2, 3, or ≥4 deliveries with otosclerosis were 1.22 (0.83-1.80), 1.09 (0.71-1.68), 1.28 (0.77-2.12), and 1.00 (0.54-1.84), respectively. The odds ratio for the association of prior bilateral oophorectomy with otosclerosis was 1.12 (0.58-2.18; P = .73). In cases with otosclerosis, PTA at diagnosis was not significantly higher for women with ≥1 delivery as compared with those without (median 45 dB hearing loss [HL] [interquartile range {IQR} 36-55] vs 43 [IQR 34-53]; P = 0.18) but was significantly higher for women with bilateral oophorectomy compared with those without (median 54 dB HL [IQR 44-61] vs 44 [IQR 34-53]; P = .03). Conclusion These data do not support a relationship between endogenous estrogen exposure and development of otosclerosis. Women with otosclerosis who had a history of pregnancy did not have significantly worse hearing at the time of diagnosis, suggesting that pregnancy is not associated with disease severity.

Health Effects of Occupational Noise

Purpose of Review Workplace noise negatively impacts health, and noise-induced hearing loss is the most common work-related disease in many countries. Occupational noise may also cause cardiovascular disease, and there is epidemiologic evidence on the non-auditory effects of noise. This paper aims to briefly present and summarize the latest evidence on the auditory and non-auditory health effects of occupational noise exposure from the last 5 years. Recent Findings Two systematic reviews assessing the cardiovascular effects of occupational noise exposure were published in the last year. Our own recent review found convincing evidence of an association between occupational noise exposure > 80 dB(A) and hypertension and a dose-response relationship between noise exposure and hypertension risk. Another review of cardiovascular disease conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) found an increased risk of incident ischemic heart disease at noise exposures ≥ 85 dB(A). Recent reviews on work-related injuries, diabetes, acoustic neuroma, and pregnancy outcomes also find noise-related associations. Summary Evidence of an association between occupational noise and cardiovascular outcomes was recently evaluated. We found the risk of hypertension increases with a clear dose-response relationship at noise levels > 80 dB(A). The WHO/ILO review highlights the lack of quality research including women. Additional high-quality research on epigenetic effects, oxidative stress, work-related injuries, diabetes, acoustic neuroma, and pregnancy outcomes is also needed. Urgently needed (increased) measures of workplace noise reduction will reduce the incidence of noise-induced hearing loss and help prevent cardiovascular diseases, especially hypertension.

“…The vestibular system plays a decisive role in the spatial orientation at rest and in motion and in the formation of motor and sensory memory, which underlie all forms of sensory and motor activities. It responds to the development of disorders in the body, in particular, somatic, motor, sensory and autonomic ones with exceptionally subtle sensitivity, dynamism, objectivity of symptoms before other sensory systems, so it is of prime importance in regard to these functions (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13).…”

INTRODUCTION: Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is known to be a benign tumor. It develops from the Schwann cells in the vestibular portion of the VIII nerve. The causes of tumor development are not fully defined. VS is diagnosed more often in people of active age (30-60 years), mostly in women. AIM: The aim is to study the state of vestibular and acoustic dysfunctions in patients with VS at an early stage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 71 patients with MRI-verified VS at an early stage were analyzed. The 1st group consisted of 34 patients with intracanal VS, and the 2nd group included 37 patients with stage one VS. Vestibular dysfunction, including the registration of three pathological vestibular reactions vestibulo-somatic, vestibulo-sensory and vestibulo-vegetative, was studied. Acoustic dysfunction was studied using tonal, speech and suprathreshold speech audiometry, and auditory brainstem responses (ABR). RESULTS: Unilateral or asymmetric bilateral vestibular dysfunctions have been established in all patients at the early stages of VS, which forms phantom phenomena of sensory and motor memory in the cortical structures of the brain in the form of pathological vestibulo-somatic, vestibulo-sensory and vestibulo-vegetative reactions, which are to be considered during rehabilitation. Acoustic dysfunction of different manifestations-from normal symmetrical hearing to socially adequate unilateral or asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss of degree I-II, and significant socially inadequate sensorineural hearing loss of degree III-IV, deafness, and also mixed hearing loss, was determined in these patients. ABR registration indicated unilateral or asymmetric delays of sound signals transferring in the brainstem structures at the early stages of VS with both normal hearing and socially adequately impaired hearing. CONCLUSION: Various manifestations of vestibular and acoustic dysfunctions with development of excitatory and inhibitory processes in the peripheral, brainstem, and cortical structures of the vestibular and
