- Severe obstructive sleep apnea is associated with cochlear function impairment(2018) MATSUMURA, Erika; MATAS, Carla G.; SANCHES, Seisse G. G.; MAGLIARO, Fernanda C. L.; PEDRENO, Raquel M.; GENTA, Pedro R.; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; CARVALLO, Renata M. M.The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with middle ear acoustic transference and cochlear function. Male individuals with and without mild, moderate, and severe OSA according to standard criteria of full polysomnography and no co-morbidities were studied. Subjects with BMI 40 kg/m(2), present or past treatment for OSA, with heart failure, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, stroke, use of chronic medications, and previous history of risk for hearing loss were excluded. All subjects were submitted to full polysomnography, evaluation of wideband acoustic immittance by energy of absorbance (EA), and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE). We studied 38 subjects (age 35.8 +/- 7.2 years, BMI 28.8 +/- 3.8 kg/m(2)) divided into no OSA (n = 10, age 33.6 +/- 6.4 years, BMI 26.9 +/- 4.1 kg/m(2)), mild (n = 11, age 32.8 +/- 2.9 years, BMI 28.5 +/- 3.5 kg/m(2)), moderate (n = 8, age 34.1 +/- 6.8 years, BMI 29.6 +/- 3.3 kg/m(2)), and severe OSA (n = 9, age 41.2 +/- 9.2 years, BMI 30.5 +/- 3.8 kg/m(2)). EA was similar between groups. In contrast, patients with severe OSA presented significantly lower DPOAE amplitudes when compared to the control, mild, and moderate OSA groups (p ae 0.03, for all comparisons). Acoustic transference function of middle ear is similar in adults with and without OSA. Severe OSA is independently associated with cochlear function impairment in patients with no significant co-morbidities.
- Effects of Noise and Chemical Exposure on Peripheral and Central Auditory Pathways in Normal-hearing Workers(2022) TRABANCO, Julio C. S.; MORITA, Bruno; MATAS, Carla Gentile; PAIVA, Karina Mary de; MOREIRA, Renata R.; SANCHES, Seisse G. G.; SAMELLI, Alessandra G.Objectives: To assess the effects of noise and chemical exposure on peripheral and central auditory pathways in normal-hearing workers exposed to chemicals or high noise levels and compare the groups with each other and with workers not exposed to either of these agents. Methods: A total of 54 normal-hearing workers were divided into three groups (chemical, noise, control) and submitted to the following assessments: conventional and extended high-frequency pure-tone audiometry; transient and distortion-product otoacoustic emissions, the inhibitory effect of the efferent auditory pathway; and Staggered Spondaic Word (SSW) and Pitch Pattern Sequence (PPS) test. Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in extended high-frequency hearing thresholds. Significantly lower amplitudes were observed in the noise group for otoacoustic emissions. There were significantly more absences of the inhibitory effect of the efferent system in the noise group. There was no difference between the groups in the SSW test, while in PPS, the noise group performed worse than the control group. Conclusion: These findings suggest that noise exposure produced deleterious effects on the workers' peripheral and central auditory systems, despite their normal hearing thresholds. The chemical group did not have significantly different results from those of the control group. It is important that individuals exposed to noise or chemicals have their auditory pathways monitored with complementary assessments.
- Peripheral hearing in Parkinson's disease: a systematic review(2023) LEME, Mariana S.; SANCHES, Seisse G. G.; CARVALLO, Renata M. M.Objective To investigate the implications of Parkinson's disease (PD) in the peripheral auditory system, a systematic survey of the scientific literature was conducted. Design Systematic review. Study sample An electronic search of the non-gray literature in the last decade was conducted using the digital databases MEDLINE (R) (PubMed interface), LILACS (R) (Virtual Health Library), Web of Science (R) (CAPES publications portal), and SciELO (R). Studies addressing peripheral auditory function as part of the range of nonmotor PD symptoms were selected for analysis. Results Pure tone audiometry data suggested that sensorineural hearing loss was more severe in the PD population than in the control groups. The effects of PD on cochlear function were evidenced by a decrease in the levels of otoacoustic emissions. Conclusions Sensorineural hearing loss and cochlear impairment are more severe in the PD population than in the control groups. Additional studies are recommended to further understand the characteristics of the peripheral auditory system in PD patients, which constitutes an emerging subject in the scientific literature.
- Tablet-Based Hearing Screening(2017) SAMELLI, Alessandra G.; RABELO, Camila M.; SANCHES, Seisse G. G.; AQUINO, Camila P.; GONZAGA, DeniseIntroduction: Hearing loss (HL) affects people worldwide, many of whom are children. Especially in developing countries, epidemiological data on the prevalence of HL are insufficient to implement effective health promotion programs. In this preliminary study with young adults, we describe and validate a tablet-based hearing screening test developed for interactive remote hearing screening and compare the performance of an audiometry screening tablet application with conventional audiometry. In addition, the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of the tablet-based method and the concordance between the two methods were analyzed. Methods: Thirty volunteers participated in a double-blind study assessing two auditory threshold screening methods: tablet-based hearing screening and sweep audiometry. For both methods, a correct response to a minimum of two tones out of three emitted at 20 dBHL for the frequencies of 1, 2, and 4 kHz and 30 dBHL for 0.5 kHz in both ears, was considered a negative screening result (normal hearing), whereas hearing impairment was considered a positive screening result. Results: According to both methods, 26 participants had normal hearing and four had HL. The Kappa coefficient indicated perfect concordance between methods. The tablet-based hearing screening method had a sensitivity of 100% (confidence interval [CI]: 30.5-100.0), a specificity of 100% (CI: 87.1-100.0), a positive predictive value of 100% (CI: 30.5-100.0), and a negative predictive value of 100% (CI: 87.1-100.0). Conclusions: The tablet-based hearing screening test was shown to be a reliable and an accurate method for hearing screening that can be used effectively in places with Internet access and where local audiologists are not available.
