“…9,24 These studies reported that case-controlled studies or studies with a large sample size are needed to consider pregnancy a risk factor for the development of vertigo and vestibular disorders. 25 The variables such as pregnancy, number of childbirths, history of vertigo or nausea and vomiting before pregnancy were not evaluated in many studies. In our study, there was no association between the prevalence of vertigo and the number of childbirths but the prevalence of vertigo was higher in women who had three or more pregnancies.…”

Objective: To determine the prevalence of vertigo during pregnancy, to review some variables believed to be associated, and to determine the association between vertigo and nausea and vomiting. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study conducted on pregnant women between September 3 and November 30, 2020. The study group consisted of 560 pregnant women who agreed to take part in the study. Chi-square test and Logistic Regression Analysis (Stepwise Backward Wald Regression), Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis Analysis were used for analysis. P≤0.05 was accepted as statistical significance value. Results: The number of pregnant women with a history of vertigo was found to be 208 (37.1%). The symptoms that were most commonly reported by those with a history of vertigo were nausea and vomiting, headache and stumbling while walking, respectively. It was determined that the level of nausea and vomiting was higher in women with vertigo but there was no difference between the type and severity of vertigo and the level of nausea and vomiting. Conclusion: Vertigo is one of the important health problems in pregnancy. It was determined that the level of nausea and vomiting was higher in women with vertigo. Nausea and vomiting are the most common symptoms accompanying vertigo.

“…Although specific safety recommendations in pregnancy are not available for medications based on a lack of human and animal studies, use of intravenous dextran 40 and intratympanic steroids have been reported as safe in pregnant patients. 6 The benefits of a short course of oral corticosteroids likely outweigh the risks of no treatment. 8 Oral corticosteroids do not present a risk of major teratogenesis at therapeutic doses but may increase the risk of orofacial clefting 9 (see the Bell Palsy subsection).…”

ImportancePregnancy may result in physiologic and pathologic changes in the head and neck. Otolaryngologists may need to intervene medically or surgically with pregnant patients. Careful consideration of risks to both the gravid patient and the developing fetus is vital.ObservationsPatients may present with otolaryngologic complaints exacerbated by or simply occurring during their pregnancy. Symptoms of hearing loss, vertigo, rhinitis or rhinosinusitis, epistaxis, obstructive sleep apnea, sialorrhea, voice changes, reflux, subglottic stenosis, and benign and malignant tumors of the head and neck may prompt evaluation. While conservative measures are often best, there are medications that are safe for use during pregnancy. When required, surgery for the gravid patient requires a multidisciplinary approach.Conclusions and RelevanceOtolaryngologic manifestations in pregnant patients may be managed safely with conservative treatment, medication, and surgery when necessary. Treatment should include consideration of both the pregnant patient and the developing fetus.

“…For women, it is not uncommon for otosclerosis to appear, or worsen, during pregnancy, which explains why otosclerosis has been initially associated with pregnancy [ 21 ]. This link is still debated today, because of the paucity and the heterogeneity of the results, and the difficulty in isolating a single genetic factor [ 22 , 23 ].…”

Calcium signaling is crucial for many physiological processes and can mobilize intracellular calcium stores in response to environmental sensory stimuli. The endolysosomal two-pore channel (TPC), regulated by the second messenger nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), is one of the key components in calcium signaling. However, its role in neuronal physiology remains largely unknown. Here, we investigated to what extent the acoustic thresholds differed between the WT mice and the TPC KO mice. We determined the thresholds based on the auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) at five frequencies (between 4 and 32 kHz) and found no threshold difference between the WT and KO in virgin female mice. Surprisingly, in lactating mothers (at P9–P10), the thresholds were higher from 8 to 32 kHz in the TPC KO mice compared to the WT mice. This result indicates that in the TPC KO mice, physiological events occurring during parturition altered the detection of sounds already at the brainstem level, or even earlier.
