“…Since the Shapiro-Wilks test showed that As levels in biological samples and hearing thresholds for PTA and ABR of all frequencies were non-normal distributions, the Mann-Whitney U test to evaluate statistical differences of As levels and hearing levels between two groups. For multivariate analysis, we performed binary logistic regression analysis with adjustments for age 8 , sex 9 , BMI 12 and smoking 10, 11 as confounding factors. In this study, values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.…”

There is no information on the association between oral exposure to arsenic (As) and hearing loss in humans or mice. In this combined epidemiological study and experimental study, the association of oral exposure to As with hearing loss in people aged 12–29 years and young mice was examined. Subjects in the exposure group (n = 48), who were drinking tube well water contaminated with As, showed significantly higher risks of hearing loss at 4 kHz [odds ratio (OR) = 7.60; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.56, 57.88], 8 kHz (OR = 5.00; 95% CI: 1.48, 18.90) and 12 kHz (OR = 8.72; 95% CI: 2.09, 47.77) than did subjects in the control group (n = 29). We next performed an experiment in which young mice were exposed to As via drinking water at 22.5 mg/L, which is a much greater concentration than that in human studies. The exposure group showed hearing loss and accumulation of As in inner ears. Ex vivo exposure of the organ of Corti from mice exposed to As significantly decreased the number of auditory neurons and fibers. Thus, our combined study showed that oral exposure to As caused hearing loss in young people and young mice.

Introduction: Traffic police are continually exposed to loud noise. The pure tone audiometric screening for hearing test has not been done in Biratnagar Nepal. So, we conducted a study to screen hearing ability and also to find out hearing thresholds among traffic police with normal hearing ability. Materials and methods: The study was conducted among 36 traffic police personnel. The 25dB sound was administered with audiometer (name) in different frequencies (1 kHz, 2 kHz, 3 kHz, 4 kHz and 8 kHz) for screening hearing loss in left and right ears. The threshold for hearing among normal hearing traffic personnel was compared with controls in all the frequencies. Result: Among 36 traffic police, 17(47.2%) had hearing loss. Maximum (n=8) hearing loss was seen in 4 kHz (4 - unilateral and 4 – bilateral) followed by 3 kHz (n=4, 3 unilateral and 1 bilateral) and mixed 3kHz and 4 kHz frequencies. The percentage of hearing loss in 2 kHz, 3 kHz and 4 kHz frequencies was more in left ear compared to right. The threshold for hearing loss was higher in traffic police compared to controls .In the left ear, it was only in 4kHz {(25.91+6.64 Vs 20.45±4.15,( p=.034)} whereas in right ear, the threshold was higher in 3 kHz {20.45±5.22 Vs 15.91±4.90, (p=0.04)}, 4 kHz {25.45±12.54 Vs 16.82±5.60, (p=0.05)} and 8000 kHz {18.64±17.62 Vs 6.36±3.23, (p=0.04) . Conclusion: The hearing loss was present in 47.2% of traffic policemen predominantly in 4 kHz. The threshold for hearing was also higher among traffic police compared to controls.

“…The presence of potential confounding variables for IDA and hearing loss, including race (Brotanek et al, 2007;Lin et al, 2012), weight status (Cepeda-Lopez, Aeberli, & Zimmermann, 2010;Kim et al, 2016), and nutritional status (Aspuru, Villa, Bermejo, Herrero, & López, 2011;Emmett & West, 2015) was also evaluated. Because body mass index or growth percentiles are not available in i2b2, ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes for overweight and obesity (278.00-278.03 and E66.0-E66.9) were used to determine the prevalence of this comorbidity in our populations.…”

The Relationship Between Iron Deficiency Anemia and Sensorineural Hearing Loss in the Pediatric and Adolescent Population

Purpose A correlation between iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) was described in adults. In this study, we examined if there is a relationship between IDA and hearing loss in the pediatric population. Method This was a retrospective cohort study of data collected from the Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside database from 2011 to 2016. Children and adolescents 4–21 years old seen at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, PA, were examined for hearing loss and IDA status. Hearing loss was determined by International Classification of Disease-9 and -10 codes, and IDA was determined by both low hemoglobin and serum ferritin levels for age and sex. Results We identified 20,113 patients. Prevalence of hearing loss and IDA was 1.7% and 2.3%, respectively. The prevalence of all hearing loss was 3.0% in the IDA cohort and 1.7% in those without IDA. Children and adolescents with IDA are at increased odds of developing SNHL (adjusted odds ratio: 3.67, 95% CI [1.60–7.30]). Conclusions Children with IDA demonstrate increased likelihood of SNHL. Although correction of IDA in those with hearing loss has yet to be linked to improvements in hearing outcomes, screening for and correcting IDA among pediatric patients will positively affect overall health status.
