Opis:
Introduction. Lyme borreliosis (LB) is endemic spirochetosis with a transmission mechanism, which is often marked by a durable, recurrent course with multiple organ damages. LB is characterized by the appearance of migrating erythema at the site of tick bite. Durable persistence of the agent promotes disease progressing and occurrence of serious complications related to the nervous system, the heart and the locomotive apparatus. Among infrequent and especially dangerous complications of LB is damage to the hearing apparatus with the development of sensorineural deafness – hearing loss, which develops within 24 hours due to function impairment of the internal ear or auditory nerve. That infectious diseases account for 12.8-13% of numerous causes of sensorineural deafness development. Most frequently, the disease caused by B. burgdorferi is mentioned. Aim. To analyze the clinical case of Lyme borreliosis complicated by the sensorineural hearing loss. Materials and methods. The analysis of clinical-laboratory and instrumental data of the patient with Lyme borreliosis, whose course of the disease was complicated by sensorineural hearing loss. The patient received care at Lviv Regional Infectious Diseases Clinical Hospital (LRIDCH). Results. The article presents a clinical case of Lyme borreliosis, complicated by sensorineural hearing loss, which appeared on the 15th day from the onset of erythema annulare in the patient. Hearing recovery in the patient could not be achieved via administration of etiotropic treatment (2.0 g/per day of ceftriaxone for 28 days), which was likely associated with late visit of the patient for medical aid. Conclusions. Sensorineural hearing loss is one of the rare, but severe lesions of auditory analyzer in LB. Hearing improvement after antibiotic therapy is possible in certain cases in early treatment.

Opis:
Evaluation of acoustic vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (AC-VEMPs) is one of the tests performed to assess the function of the balance system. Evaluation of acoustic ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (AC-oVEMPs) consists in the measurement of potentials evoked within oculomotor muscles, particularly the inferior oblique muscles (the most superficial muscles) with impulses being transmitted along the superior branch of the vestibular nerve from the utricular macula. Despite the fact that the measurement of oVEMPs was introduced relatively recently, it has found widespread use as a diagnostic tool in otology and neurotology. Despite the growing number of literature reports, the methodology of the test and the methods for the interpretation of its results are still subject to debate. This article is dedicated to various aspects of AC-oVEMP tests, including the methodology of the test, interpretation of its results and potential use in the diagnostics of vertigo.

Aim: To evaluate acoustically evoked cervical and ocular vestibular miogenic potentials (AC cVEMP and oVEMP) in patients with Susac’s syndrome. We did not seek for a diagnostic replacement test in those patients, but we investigated if the combined application of AC cVEMP and oVEMPs might be helpful as an additional source of information about the disease. Material and methods: To record VEMPs, the EMG standardization method was used to continuously monitor and minimize the variability of the recordings. The stimuli were presented unilaterally one ear at a time. The waveforms were analyzed for the response, latency and amplitude. Susac’s syndrome is a rare disease and two patients were analyzed in this study. Results: In patient #1 stimulation resulted in responses on both sides with latencies within normal and symmetry limits for both c- and oVEMPs; however, the responses presented small amplitudes for cVEMPs. In patient #2, only cVEMPs were present. The P1 latencies were within normal values but amplitudes were low, in addition showing asymmetry between sides, with right side amplitude being smaller. Conclusion: The information provided by the combined application of AC cVEMP and oVEMP might be useful in the diagnostics of Susac’s syndrome revealing additional information about the affected vestibular system and be of help in the treatment and rehabilitation planning.

Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie rezultatów badań własnych dotyczących problematyki jakości życia osób starszych po 60. roku życia oraz poziomu akceptacji utraty sprawności w słyszeniu przez seniorów. Badania miały na celu zidentyfikowanie i określenie zależności między akceptacją utraty prawidłowego słyszenia a jakością życia seniorów z trudnościami w słyszeniu. Przedmiotem badań była jakość życia oraz związek jakości życia z poczuciem akceptacji utraty sprawności w słyszeniu u osób po 60. roku życia. W badaniach zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego, technikę ankiety (WHOQOL-BREF – Skrócona Wersja Ankiety Oceniającej Jakość Życia; Wielowymiarowa Skala Akceptacji Trudności w Słyszeniu; Test przesiewowy z baterii TSOS). W artykule można się zapoznać z zagadnieniami teoretycznymi dotyczącymi jakości życia osób starszych z trudnościami w słyszeniu. Przedstawiono podstawy metodologicznych badań własnych i zaprezentowano wyniki przeprowadzonych badań oraz wnioski do wykorzystania w późniejszych działaniach na gruncie pedagogiki. Stwierdzono, że im wyższy poziom akceptacji utraty prawidłowego słyszenia, tym wyższa jakość życia badanych seniorów. Z badań wynika konieczność prowadzenia różnorakich działań mających na celu wspieranie seniorów z trudnościami w słyszeniu w ich psychospołecznym funkcjonowaniu. Niezbędne jest podnoszenie świadomości społecznej w obszarze jakości życia starszych osób z trudnościami w słyszeniu.
The article presents the results of research concerning the quality of life of older people over 60 and the level of acceptance of the loss of hearing performance by seniors. The research was aimed at identifying and determining the relationship between the acceptance of the loss of proper hearing and the quality of life of seniors with difficulties in hearing. The subject of the research was the quality of life and the relationship between the quality of life and the sense of acceptance of the loss of hearing performance in people over 60 years of age. The research took the form of a diagnostic survey using the questionnaire technique (WHOQOL-BREF – Short Version of the Quality-of-Life Survey; Multidimensional Acceptance Scale of Hearing Difficulties; Screening Test with TSOS battery). The article presents theoretical issues related to the quality of life of older people with hearing difficulties, with the methodological basis of this research being presented. The results from the conducted research are presented at the end of the article and a number of conclusions for subsequent activities in the field of pedagogy are drawn. It was found that the higher the acceptance level of the loss of correct hearing, the higher the quality of life of the surveyed seniors. The research shows the need to conduct various activities aimed at supporting seniors with hearing difficulties in their psychosocial functioning. It is necessary to raise social awareness in areas connected with the quality of life of older people with hearing difficulties.

Background: Ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) is one of recently introduced tests used to assess the function of the equilibrium system. It is still under research and no consensus has been reached yet. Aim: To analyze AC-oVEMP response parameters in subjects with no history of neurological or vestibular deficits. Material and Methods: The AC-oVEMPs collected from 50 subjects (100 ears) were analyzed in this prospective study for the response presence in the time domain, the latencies and amplitudes of the waves. Results: No statistically significant differences were observed between the right and left ear considering both N1 latency, and amplitude. Significant differences were noted when comparing the groups <40 yo vs ≥40 yo (shorter latencies and higher amplitudes were observed in subjects <40). Conclusions and Significance: This thorough AC-oVEMP analysis in a group of healthy volunteers facilitated the proposal of reference ranges with a simultaneous indication of age-related differences. Shorter oVEMP latencies and higher amplitudes were observed in subjects <40 yo, while in the subjects ≥40 yo the latencies were longer and the amplitudes lower.

Opis:
Tinnitus is defi ned as a perception of sound in the absence of an external acoustic stimulus. Several factors are known to infl uence tinnitus, e.g. hearing loss, noise exposure, age, and hypertension. As only certain individuals develop tinnitus in the presence of the above risks and in approximately 50% of cases tinnitus is not attributed to any particular cause, the question arose whether this inter-individual susceptibility to tinnitus could be explained by the infl uence of genetic factors. Objectives: To test the hypothesis that genetic variability in genes of the potassium recycling pathway is associated with increased susceptibility to tinnitus. Materials and Methods: The study group consisted of 626 subjects exposed to occupational noise (128 with tinnitus and 498 without tinnitus). 99 single nucleotide polymorphisms were investigated in 10 genes involved in the potassium recycling pathway in the inner ear, previously selected as putative noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) candidate genes. Results: Nominally signifi cant associations were obtained for 2 variants in KCNE1 (potassium voltage-gated channel, Isk-related family, member 1) and SLC12A2 (solute carrier family 12, member 2) genes. The first gene contributed to tinnitus that developed independently of hearing loss, while the second one was associated with increased susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss. Conclusions: Present fi ndings lend support to the notion of potassium recycling pathway genes as possible risk modifi ers of tinnitus in individuals with and without hearing loss. Due to the lack of replication in other independent populations these results should be seen as suggestive.

Introduction: The Polish Universal Neonatal Hearing Screening Program (PUNHSP) is one example of a nationwide pro-health program in Poland. This program is aimed at early diagnosis and intervention in children with hearing impairment, and is an example of a well-managed program. Presenting the results of the PUNHSP, particularly organisational aspects and experience, can assist institutions managing other programs to achieve high efficiency. The aim of this work was to perform a detailed analysis of the PUNHSP by identifying the changes implemented over the 15 years it has been active, as well as the consequences of their introduction in terms of improved quality and efficiency. Materials and methods: Data from the PUNHSP, registered in the central database, were evaluated, as well as organisational information related to management, IT support and infrastructure. The analysis was based on quality assessment parameters (identification of changes and the purpose of their introduction) and effectiveness (consequences of introducing the changes). The analysis includes the 15-year period in which the PUNHSP has been active, from 2002 to 2017. Results: Thirteen main modifications of the program were identified according to the definition of “change”, in addition to 11 smaller modifications resulting from the necessity to adapt to current requirements. The changes were grouped into five categories: legal, administrative, management, audit and control, and IT. Discussion: The changes implemented in the PUNHSP can be assumed to have positively influenced various aspects of the program, but do not exhaust the possibilities for further optimisation of functioning. Conclusions: The program requires constant development in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of its operation, and the changes and solutions implemented in this program could be applied to improve existing pro-health programs, as well as those yet to be created.

Opis:
Noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a serious occupational related health problem worldwide. The A-wave impulse noise could cause severe hearing loss, and characteristics of such kind of impulse noise in the joint time-frequency (T-F) domain are critical for evaluation of auditory hazard level. This study focuses on the analysis of A-wave impulse noise in the T-F domain using continual wavelet transforms. Three different wavelets, referring to Morlet, Mexican hat, and Meyer wavelets, were investigated and compared based on theoretical analysis and applications to experimental generated A-wave impulse noise signals. The underlying theory of continuous wavelet transform was given and the temporal and spectral resolutions were theoretically analyzed. The main results showed that the Mexican hat wavelet demonstrated significant advantages over the Morlet and Meyer wavelets for the characterization and analysis of the A-wave impulse noise. The results of this study provide useful information for applying wavelet transform on signal processing of the A-wave impulse noise.

Opis:
The study presents evaluating the effectiveness of the hearing aid fitting process in the short-term use (7 days). The evaluation method consists of a survey based on the APHAB (Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit) questionnaire. Additional criteria such as a degree of hearing loss, number of hours and days of hearing aid use as well as the user’s experience were also taken into consideration. The outcomes of the benefit obtained from the hearing aid use in various listening environments for 109 hearing aid users are presented, including a degree of their hearing loss. The research study results show that it is possible to obtain relevant and reliable information helpful in assessing the effectiveness of the short-term (7 days) hearing aid use. The overall percentage of subjects gaining a benefit when communicating in noise is the highest of all the analyzed and the lowest in the environment with reverberation. The statistical analysis performed confirms that in the listening environments in which conversation is held, a subjective indicator determined by averaging benefits for listening situations individually is statistically significant with respect to the degree of hearing loss. Statistically significant differences depending on the degree of hearing loss are also found separately for noisy as well as reverberant environments. However, it should be remembered that this study is limited to three types of hearing loss, i.e. mild, moderate and severe. The acceptance of unpleasant sounds gets the lowest rating. It has also been observed that in the initial period of hearing aid use, the perception of unpleasant sounds has a big influence on the evaluation of hearing improvement.

Opis:
W związku z wykazanymi właściwościami ototoksycznymi rozpuszczalników organicznych w Dyrektywie 2003/10/WE Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady Unii Europejskiej zalecono, aby w szacowaniu ryzyka zawodowego uszkodzenia słuchu brać pod uwagę interakcję skutków działania hałasu i rozpuszczalników na narząd słuchu. Uwzględniając brak sprecyzowanych do tej pory zaleceń profilaktycznych, niniejsze opracowanie ma na celu dostarczenie lekarzowi wskazówek w zakresie prowadzenia badań słuchu u pracowników eksponowanych na te zagrożenia. W tej pracy omówiono biologiczne skutki działania hałasu i rozpuszczalników organicznych na narząd słuchu oraz aktualne możliwości szacowania ryzyka uszkodzenia słuchu w przypadku izolowanego narażenia na rozpuszczalniki oraz ich współdziałania z hałasem. Przedstawiono zakres badania lekarskiego oraz znaczenie poszczególnych badań słuchu, w tym audiometrii tonalnej, otoemisji akustycznych, audiometrii impedancyjnej, słuchowych potencjałów wywołanych pnia mózgu, audiometrii mowy w ciszy, audiometrii mowy w szumie oraz dychotycznego testu cyfrowego w diagnostyce uszkodzeń spowodowanych przez rozpuszczalniki organiczne. Opracowano algorytm przeprowadzania badań słuchu w przypadku narażenia na rozpuszczalniki organiczne oraz hałas i rozpuszczalniki w zależności od poziomu narażenia. Wskazano konieczność corocznych badań audiometrycznych u wszystkich pracowników narażonych na rozpuszczalniki organiczne w przypadku przekroczenia ich stężeń w powietrzu, bezpiecznych dla narządu słuchu, niezależnie od współwystępowania narażenia na hałas. U osób narażonych na hałas i rozpuszczalniki organiczne okresowa audiometria tonalna powinna być obowiązkowo wykonywana już przy przekroczeniu wartości dolnego progu działania dla hałasu określonego w Dyrektywie 2003/10/WE, tj. LEX,8h = 80 dB. Biorąc pod uwagę działanie uszkadzające rozpuszczalników organicznych na część ośrodkową narządu słuchu, dodatkowo do audiometrii tonalnej zalecane jest badanie audiometrii mowy (optymalnie audiometrii mowy w szumie). Wprowadzenie profilaktycznych badań słuchu u pracowników narażonych na rozpuszczalniki organiczne oraz rozszerzenie wskazań i zakresu badań słuchu u osób eksponowanych łącznie na hałas i rozpuszczalniki jest warunkiem skutecznej profilaktyki uszkodzeń słuchu w tych grupach zawodowych.
Robust evidence confirms that occupational exposures to organic solvents are ototoxic and can aggravate the effects of noise on the auditory organ. Accordingly, Directive 2003/10/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council recommends that in assessing the risk of occupational hearing loss, the interaction of noise and organic solvents to hearing should be taken into account. Given that no prophylactic recommendations have been established to date, this study is intended to provide physicians with guidance in conducting audiometric tests in workers exposed to noise and organic solvents. The paper discusses the biological effects of noise and organic solvents on the auditory organ and current possibilities of estimating the risk of hearing loss due to isolated exposures to solvents, as well as combined exposures to these chemicals and noise. The scope of medical examination and the significance of individual hearing tests, such as pure-tone audiometry, impedance audiometry, auditory brainstem responses, speech in quiet and speech in noise audiometry, and dichotic digit test, in the diagnostics of solvent-induced hearing loss are presented. An algorithm for conducting hearing tests in workers exposed to organic solvents, and co-exposed to noise and organic solvents, has been proposed depending on the concentration of solvents and noise level. Shown also is the necessity to perform annual audiometric testing in all workers exposed to organic solvents whose concentration in the air exceeds values safe for hearing. In workers exposed to noise and organic solvents, audiometric examinations should be mandatory in all subjects in whom the level of noise exceeds the lower action level defined by Directive 2003/10/EC, which is LEX,8h = 80 dB. Taking into account the detrimental effects of organic solvents to central auditory pathways, in addition to pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry (preferentially speech in noise) should be included. The introduction of preventive audiometric tests in workers exposed to organic solvents, along with an extension of indications and the scope of hearing tests in workers co-exposed to noise and solvents, is a prerequisite for effective prevention of occupational hearing loss in these professional groups.

Opis:
The article presents the problems of deaf and hard of hearing people in education. This topic is widely analyzed. The text describes the difficulties experienced by students at school, at various stages of learning, and the barriers experienced by deaf and hard of hearing students at higher education levels. In general, the hearing deficit entails various communication complications. The person with hearing impairment has a limited opportunity to have different experiences and what is most important in the text – hearing loss or deafness often makes it impossible to gain an optimal education. There are different methods of educating people from the non-hearing environment, depending on the degree of hearing impairment. Hearing impaired student often has difficulty understanding Polish, as it is not always their first language (their first language may be the Polish sign language). Hearing impaired students sometimes don’t understand academic texts because they have weaker poorer vocabulary due to their communication dysfunction. Another issue is the social isolation of many people with hearing impairments which often have a dilemma which environment to integrate with – with hearing or hearing impaired? Teaching staff approaches such people in different ways. Stereotypes do not help in educational progress (for example, the assumption that such students communicate only in sign language). It is important to be aware of the types of hearing loss and the different types of hearing (each hearing impaired hears differently and needs an individual approach). Finally, the article discusses the issue of education of people with hearing impairment from the category of “space”. Through “space” you can understand here the environment (school space, classes and associated architectural-acoustic barriers) as well as the language of the Deaf. The sign language is specifically designed for living space (some of the signatures must be shown in the specified movement and direction, depending on the intention of the sender).

Introduction: For many years, surgical treatment of otosclerosis has been a widely accepted approach. Hearing improvement following stapes surgery is sometimes spectacular, and good treatment results are obtained in many centers in over 90% of patients. However, in the subsequent years after the treatment, some patients develop permanent or progressive conductive hearing loss. Aim: The aim of the study is to present a group of patients with conductive hearing loss after the first otosclerosis surgery and to analyze the causes of its occurrence. Materials and Methods: The retrospective review covered patients who underwent the initial surgery in the years 2000–2009. We analyzed the patients’ medical records from before the end of 2019, which provided results of at least 10 years of postoperative follow-up. The group consisted of 1118 patients aged 14–82, including 802 women and 316 men. Results: Reoperations due to conductive hearing loss were performed on 93 patients, who accounted for 8.3% of the originally operated patients. They were much more common in patients after stapedectomies (19.7%) than in patients after stapedotomy (5.5%). Prosthesis dislocation was found to be the most frequent intraoperative observation (44.1%) and was often associated with erosion or necrosis of the long process of incus (28%). Less frequent reasons for hearing loss were: adhesions around the prosthesis (10.8%), too small hole in the stapes footplate (8.6%), too short prosthesis (8.6%), progression of otosclerosis (7.5%), too long prosthesis (6.4%), presence of a granuloma around the prosthesis (5.4 %), and displacement of incus (4.3%). Conclusions: Surgical treatment of otosclerosis is a widely accepted and good method. It allows to achieve an improvement in hearing in the vast majority of patients treated in this way. Unfortunately, over the years some patients develop recurrent conductive hearing loss. Reoperation creates an opportunity for finding the cause and improving hearing in the majority of cases.

Opis:
Hearing impairment caused by noise, traditionally called – depending on the duration of exposure - acute or chronic acoustic trauma, includes, in addition to presbyacusis, the most common adult population of hearing impaired. In Poland - according to the report of the Central Statistical Office (GUS, 2011), the number of workers employed in NDN exceeded the noise level (85 dB) is about 200 thousand, the highest in the mining, metal and metal products production, textiles and wood production. According to the Regulation of the Council of Ministers of on June 30, 2009, on the list of occupational diseases (Journal of Laws No. 132, item 1115), it is defined as "bilateral permanent hearing loss of the cochlear or sensory-nerve type, expressed as an increase in hearing threshold of at least 45 dB in the ear better heard, calculated as an arithmetic mean for frequencies 1,2 and 3 kHz. Hearing impairments also occur in the military and police during field training and in combat where the source of acoustic injuries are firearms and pulse-inducing explosions (as in some industries) with high C peak levels (Lc peak) Time to rise to a maximum of <1 ms. The prevalence of loud music listening, particularly by personal stereo players, is also affecting children and adolescents with audiometric hearing loss, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates of around 15-20%. The preventive action strategy is defined by the European Union legislation and the national implementing legislation that reduces or eliminates the risk and reduces (if not eliminated), taking into account available technical and organizational solutions to minimize the risk of hearing damage. If you can not reduce the noise levels with technical and organizational methods, you need individual hearing protectors. Ear protectors may be equipped with electronic systems with active noise reduction (which can improve low and medium frequency performance), adjustable attenuation (improves speech intelligibility and perception of warning signals), and wireless communication for verbal communication.

Opis:
Sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss is an emergency condition in otorhinolaryngology. Despite its common occurrence, the investigation and treatment of this condition are still controversial. Auditory brainstem response is one of hearing assessment tools used in sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss. However, its findings may be false positive at early stages of the disorder, leading to unnecessary investigations and treatments. We report two cases of idiopathic sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss, which manifested in abnormal auditory brainstem response during the acute phase of illness. However, a complete recovery of auditory brainstem response was observed after treatment completion. Therefore, we suggest that auditory brainstem response should be performed reasonably, especially during the acute phase of sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss.
Nagły idiopatyczny niedosłuch czuciowo-nerwowy jest stanem nagłym w otorynolaryngologii. Pomimo częstego występowania badanie i leczenie tego zaburzenia nadal budzą kontrowersje. Jednym z narzędzi diagnostycznych stosowanych u pacjentów z nagłym idiopatycznym niedosłuchem czuciowo-nerwowym jest pomiar słuchowych potencjałów wywołanych pnia mózgu. Badanie to może jednak dawać wyniki fałszywie dodatnie we wczesnych stadiach choroby, prowadząc w konsekwencji do niepotrzebnych dalszych badań i prób leczenia. W pracy przedstawiono dwa przypadki nagłego idiopatycznego niedosłuchu czuciowo-nerwowego objawiającego się nieprawidłowościami w zapisie słuchowych potencjałów wywołanych pnia mózgu podczas ostrej fazy choroby. Po zakończeniu leczenia stwierdzono całkowite przywrócenie słuchu w badaniu słuchowych potencjałów wywołanych pnia mózgu. Autorzy zalecają wykonywanie tego badania w sposób racjonalny, w szczególności podczas ostrej fazy choroby.
