“…A principal queixa auditiva referida no questionário foi a tontura, seguida do zumbido, incômodo a sons fortes e plenitude aural. Um estudo que verificou a prevalência de tontura na população de Minas Gerais, apontou essa queixa como a terceira mais prevalente em um ambulatório geral (Martins et al, 2017). O predomínio de mulheres acometidas de tontura entre os participantes que apresentam hipertensão arterial e diabetes mellitus, corrobora com as informações encontradas no presente estudo.…”

Objetivo: Verificar a prevalência de queixas auditivas em adultos com síndrome metabólica (SM). Material e métodos: Estudo transversal com amostra aleatória não probabilística com 21 indivíduos, adultos, diagnosticados com SM pela International Diabetes Federation que responderam um questionário para identificar possíveis queixas auditivas (tontura, zumbido, hiperacusia e plenitude aural). Após aplicação do questionário foram coletados, em prontuário, dados sociodemográficos (sexo, idade, cor da pele e escolaridade) e os cofatores da SM. Resultados: Dos 796 voluntários analisados do banco de dados, 92 indivíduos foram elegíveis e convocados para o estudo, apenas 21 participantes responderam ao questionário. A maioria da amostra foi composta por mulheres (85,7%), com idade média de 48 anos, cor de pele preta (47,6%). O cofator da SM mais prevalente foi a Hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS), frequente em 9 participantes (64,3%). Quanto às queixas auditivas, a tontura foi o sintoma mais frequente, presente em quatorze (66,7%) indivíduos, seguido pelo zumbido relatado por nove participantes (42,8%), hiperacusia (incômodo a sons fortes) em referida por oito indivíduos (38,1%), e a plenitude aural, em 6 (28,6%); dezenove participantes (90,5%) referiram boa audibilidade. Conclusão: Observou-se alta prevalência de queixas auditivas nospacientes com SM, dos quais, metade da amostra avaliada apresentava, pelo menos, uma queixa auditiva, demonstrando a necessidade de investigação precoce dessas queixas em pessoas com SM, com intuito de fazer o diagnóstico auditivo precoce, evitar e ou minimizar os transtornos oriundos de uma perda auditiva permanente.

“…Among the individuals who complained of dizziness, 51.5% were female and 52.3% had a low level of education. The predominance of women can be attributed to hormonal variations, relevant to sex, and to the fact that this population seeks care more frequently 21,22 . The low level of education is a controversial finding in literature.…”

Objective: To analyze the biopsychosocial factors associated with complaints of dizziness in older adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study with a sample selected for convenience was performed in a university hospital. The participants were individuals aged 60 years or older diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Patients were assessed using a multidimensional survey, containing sociodemographic, clinical-functional, psycho-psychological and cognitive data. The Mini-Mental State Exam and the Short Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) were used to screen for cognitive deficits and depressive symptoms, respectively, and the Timed Up and Go Test was used to assess mobility. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: The sample consisted of 157 older adults of whom 45.22% complained of dizziness. There was a statistically significant association between dizziness and the variables: female sex, being unmarried, a low level of education, a negative self-perception of general health and vision, complaints of pain in the lower limbs, a fear of falling, a tendency to fall, cognitive impairment and psychological symptoms. Conclusion: Knowledge of the factors associated with the complaint of dizziness in older adults with DM2 allows improved targeting of prevention, assessment and intervention actions, in order to minimize the occurrence of falls, maintain or optimize functional capacity and cognitive skills, and thus improve quality of life.

“…Balance disorders caused by hair cell loss in the sensory organs of the vestibular system pose a significant health problem worldwide, particularly in the elderly (Mizutari et al, ; Fernández et al, ; Ciorba et al, ; Kammerlind et al, ; Martins et al, ). Currently, this hair cell loss is permanent as there is no effective treatment.…”

Ear is a sensitive organ involved in hearing and balance function. The complex signaling network in the auditory system plays a crucial role in maintaining normal physiological function of the ear. The inner ear comprises a variety of host signaling pathways working in synergy to deliver clear sensory messages. Any disruption, as minor as it can be, has the potential to affect this finely tuned system with temporary or permanent sequelae including vestibular deficits and hearing loss. Mutations linked to auditory symptoms, whether inherited or acquired, are being actively researched for ways to reverse, silence, or suppress them. In this article, we discuss recent advancements in understanding the pathways involved in auditory system signaling, from hair cell development through transmission to cortical centers. Our review discusses Notch and Wnt signaling, cell to cell communication through connexin and pannexin channels, and the detrimental effects of reactive oxygen species on the auditory system. There has been an increased interest in the auditory community to explore the signaling system in the ear for hair cell regeneration. Understanding signaling pathways in the auditory system will pave the way for the novel avenues to regenerate sensory hair cells and restore hearing function. J. Cell.
