The evolution over time of SSNHL is not predictable on the basis of the clinical and
audiometric data.
The aim of our study was to examine CT findings in patients with otosclerosis within a nonendemic population and their correlation with
audiometric findings and surgical outcomes.
A pure tone audiogram in the right ear revealed sensorineural hearing loss with an
audiometric notch for 3 kHz.
Nearly one in five adults who reported no occupational exposure had an
audiometric notch.
An analysis of 2011-2012 NHANES
audiometric data from 3,583 adults aged 20-69 years identified persons with high-frequency
audiometric notches suggestive of noise-induced hearing loss (5).
Table 3 shows the success rate in terms of perforation-losure,
audiometric improvement and post-operative hearing gain in both the groups.
Some authors have further compared the differences between unilateral SSHL (USSHL) and BSSHL patients with respect to clinical manifestations,
audiometric characteristics, and laboratory results.
According to International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO)-8253 standard, audiometry was performed at least 16 hours after stopping exposure of the workers to the occupational noise and the necessary adjustments for age were applied for the
audiometric results according to ISO-7029 standard.17,18
The pure-tone
audiometric examination revealed the presence of unilateral SNHL in two male patients and bilateral SNHL in one female patient (Table 2).
It is unclear which of the
audiometric patterns reported by investigators [5-9] can be associated with war-related blast outcomes.
When completed, the standard is intended to establish performance, interoperability and validation requirements of the devices and software used for
audiometric pre-screening.
