The aim of this study was to investigate audio-vestibular function in patients with essential tremor. Twenty-three patients with essential tremor (46 ears) and 21 health control subjects (42 ears) were included in the present study. Patients and comparison subjects were matched for age and gender. All patient and control subjects underwent pure tone audiometric test, tympanogram, transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions and auditory brainstem response. Vestibular system was evaluated by bitermal caloric test. Comparison of variables between the groups was performed. Investigation of the relationship between parameters about ET disease and hearing levels were also studied. Pure tone thresholds significantly differed between patients and controls in 250 and 500 Hz frequencies (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, and 6,000 Hz frequencies in essential tremor patients in comparison to the control subjects. A correlation between tremor severity and audiometric scores in low frequencies was not found. In addition, statistical analysis did not demonstrate a correlation between audiometric scores and tremor duration. The otoacoustic emission responses were found significantly different in patient and control group. The latencies of waves I, V and I-V inter-peak latencies on the ABR were not different between the groups. Our findings indicated that, abnormalities are due to cochlea rather than the retro cochlear pathology which is responsible for hearing loss associated with essential tremor.

“…Erbek et al [8] found that the rates of reproducibility in transient evoked otoacoustic emission testing (TEOAE) were significantly lower in patients with AS than those in controls. Daglı et al [7] determined the same result with distortion product otoacoustic emission testing (DPOAE). According to Daglı et al [7] , high frequencies are organized in the basal part of the cochlea; therefore, the damage is in the outer hairy cells of basal and intermediate parts of the cochlea in patients with AS.…”

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease of unknown origin affecting up to 1% of the population. Audiovestibular impairment has been observed in ankylosing spondylitis and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common form. The cause of SNHL is still unknown but the possible causes are as follows: vascular inflammation (obliterative vasculitis) of small vessels, ossification of the articular tissue of the middle ear, and use of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs. This is a case report of a patient with ankylosing spondylitis and SNHL along with a discussion of the literature regarding cochleovestibular impairment in ankylosing spondylitis.

OBJECTIVE:Radioiodine therapy (RIT) is frequently utilized as an adjunctive treatment option for differentiated thyroid carcinoma following surgical intervention. The side effects of RIT are considered to emerge as a result of radioiodine accumulation in non-thyroidal tissues capable of iodine uptake. We aimed to evaluate the effects of RIT on auditory function. MATERIALS and METHODS:Patients who had undergone total thyroidectomy and diagnosed to have differentiated thyroid carcinoma were analyzed. Those who were given RIT were included. Pure-tone audiometry and distortion product otoacoustic emission (DP-OAE) results were recorded along with patient demographics, RIT dose, and thyroid hormone profiles, both before and 3 months after RIT. RESULTS:Here, 63 patients were enrolled. Following RIT, audiometric thresholds at 0.25, 0.5, 4, and 8 kHz in addition to pure-tone average increased significantly; however, the change in DP-OAE results was not statistically significant at any frequency. The RIT dose had no effect on auditory function. CONCLUSION:In this study, we found some deleterious effects of RIT on audiometric thresholds, with no significant effect on DP-OAE results.
