“…Recently, Kilic and Colleagues (32) in a small clinical study of adult asthma patients and health controls reported a decline in auditory functions in asthma patients. One reason for hearing loss in asthmatics could be reduced oxygen supply to the inner ear (33).…”

“…Several previous studies have reported auditory dysfunction in patients with chronic lung disease. [38][39][40] The transient evoked otoacoustic emission, which primarily originates from outer hair cells, was found to be decreased in children with chronic lung disease compared with age-matched and sex-matched controls. 38 These results implied that outer hair cell functions were impaired following chronic exposure to hypoxia.…”

Another case-control study demonstrated elevated hearing thresholds in pure tone audiometry and delayed interpeak latencies in the auditory brainstem response (ABR) in chronic obstructive lung disease patients.…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) in asthma patients.DesignA longitudinal follow-up study using a retrospective cohortSettingThe 2002–2013 Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening CohortParticipants and interventionsThe ≥40 years old Korean population were enrolled. The asthma patients were 1:1 matched with the control group for age, sex, income and region of residence.Main outcome measureThe occurrence of SSNHL was followed in both asthma and control groups. The stratified Cox proportional hazard model was used. Age, sex, income and region of residence were stratified, and Charlson Comorbidity Index scores, obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption and atopic dermatitis histories were adjusted. Subgroup analysis was performed according to age, sex, obesity, smoking and alcohol consumption.ResultsThe results showed that 1.0% (877/90 564) of the asthma group and 0.8% (706/90,564) of the control group exhibited SSNHL (p<0.001). The asthma group demonstrated a higher HR for SSNHL than the control group (adjusted HR 1.23, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.36, p<0.001). According to age and sex, the female subgroup showed elevated HRs for SSNHL in asthma patients. Both the non-smoker and current smoker groups demonstrated higher HRs for SSNHL in asthma patients than in controls. According to alcohol consumption or obesity, the <1 time a week alcohol consumption group and normal weight and severe obesity groups showed higher HRs for SSNHL in asthma patients than in the controls.ConclusionsAdult asthma patients had a higher risk of SSNHL than the control participants matched for demographic and socioeconomic factors.

Association between otitis media infection and failed hearing screenings in children

et al. 2019

This study aims to assess prospectively whether there is an association between frequencies of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) or asthma in early childhood and failed otoacoustic emission (OAE) screenings later in life. There are no clear recommendations for hearing testing following acute otitis media (AOM) infection. This is a retrospective, practice based chart review. Participants from a primary care setting were 517 pre-adolescent and adolescent children (49.9% female) (ages 10–21; mean, 15 y/o), who had presented with at least one specific bacterial URTI (AOM, Group A Streptococcus (GAS) tonsillitis, or Influenza) during childhood. Hearing testing was recorded incidentally at all subsequent routine health care maintenance visits (OAE hearing screen). Simple linear regression analyses were performed using R (v3.4.4). We found that number of episodes of AOM infections strongly correlated with number of failed OAE screenings later in life (F = 76.37; P = <0.001; R 2 = 0.1279), while GAS (F = 1.859; P = 0.1733; R 2 = 0.0016) or Influenza infection (F = 2.624; P = 0.1059; R 2 = 0.0031) were not associated with failed OAE screening. Correlation between number of AOM infections and number of failed OAE screenings was not strengthened by presence of asthma. This study found evidence of an association between childhood history of AOM and failed OAE screenings in adolescence. Since this population may be at a higher risk for developing permanent or fluctuating hearing losses, further studies to clarify indications and timing of standard audiological testing among these children should be considered.
