“…In addition to the audiometric assessment, the impact of hearing loss, which does not always correlate with audiometric assessments,36 was evaluated using the HIAA for the first time on oncology patients. Our mean total HIAA scores are comparable to scores (ie, 23.9–26.8) reported by a sample of adults with hearing loss (mean age 65.1 years) who were living in urban and rural parts of Alabama 37. In contrast, our scores are higher than scores (ie, 5.6–7.7) reported by a sample of German adults between 55 and 81 years of age with different degrees of hearing loss 38.…”

ObjectivesLittle is known about hearing loss and tinnitus associated with neurotoxic chemotherapy. Study evaluated for differences in occurrence rates and effects of hearing loss and tinnitus in survivors who received a platinum alone, a taxane alone or a platinum and taxane containing regimen.MethodsTotal of 273 survivors with breast, gastrointestinal, gynaecological or lung cancer completed self-report measures of hearing loss and tinnitus and had an audiometric assessment that obtained pure tone air conduction thresholds bilaterally at frequencies of between 0.25 kHz to 16.0 kHz. To adjust for age-related and gender-related changes in hearing, each survivor’s audiogram was evaluated using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey-modified Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards. Survivor was classified as having hearing loss if at any frequency they scored poorer than the 50th percentile for their age and gender. Survivors were categorised as having tinnitus if they reported that for >10% of their time awake, they were consciously aware of their tinnitus. Differences among the chemotherapy groups were evaluated using parametric and non-parametric tests.ResultsFor most of the demographic and clinical characteristics, no differences were found among the three chemotherapy groups. Occurrence rates for audiogram-confirmed hearing loss ranged from 52.3% to 71.4%. Occurrence rates for tinnitus ranged from 37.1% to 40.0%. No differences were found among the three chemotherapy groups in the occurrence rates or effects of hearing loss and tinnitus.ConclusionThese findings suggest that regardless of the chemotherapy regimen common mechanistic pathway(s) may underlie these two neurotoxicities.

“…39 Furthermore, adults with hearing loss report marginalization and social isolation due to their hearing loss, which may influence the development of depression in these individuals. 40,41 In some cases, cochlear implant users may face an identity crisis between the hearing community and the deaf community. 42 Related to social identity, stigma around deafness and hearing loss heavily influences hearing health behaviors and outcomes.…”

Hearing loss is a global public health problem with high prevalence and profound impacts on health. Cochlear implantation (CI) is a well-established evidence-based treatment for hearing loss; however, there are significant disparities in utilization, access, and clinical outcomes among different populations. While variations in CI outcomes are influenced by innate biological differences, a wide array of social, environmental, and economic factors significantly impact optimal outcomes. These differences in hearing health are rooted in inequities of health-related socioeconomic resources. To define disparities and advance equity in CI, there is a pressing need to understand and target these social factors that influence equitable outcomes, access, and utilization. These factors can be categorized according to the widely accepted framework of social determinants of health, which include the following domains: healthcare access/quality, education access/quality, social and community context, economic stability, and neighborhood and physical environment. This article defines these domains in the context of CI and examines the published research and the gaps in research of each of these domains. Further consideration is given to how these factors can influence equity in CI and how to incorporate this information in the evaluation and management of patients receiving cochlear implants.

“…Gangguan pendengaran dapat di artikan jika seseorang tidak bisa mendengar dengan normal pada ambang batas kemampuan mendengar 20 dB di salah satu sisi telinga atau keduanya (Hay-McCutcheon et al, 2018). Gangguan ini dapat disebabkan sebagai gangguan bawaan dan bukan bawaan / risiko kejadian.…”

Hearing loss and social support in urban and rural communities*

Abstract: Adults with hearing loss living in rural areas had poor perceived tangible support. The provision of support to address a hearing loss could be worse for these adults compared to adults who lived in urban settings.
