Next Hearing Loss (Deafness) Medical Author: William C. Shiel, Jr, MD, FACP, FACR What are forms of hearing loss? What are other classifications of hearing loss? What is the treatment for hearing loss? What are forms of hearing loss? Hearing loss, or deafness, can be present at birth (congenital), or become evident later in life (acquired). The distinction between acquired and congenital deafness specifies only the time that the deafness appears. It does not specify whether the cause of the deafness is genetic (inherited). Acquired deafness may or may not be genetic. For example, it may be a manifestation of a delayed-onset form of genetic deafness. Alternatively, acquired deafness may be due to damage to the ear from noise. Congenital deafness similarly may or may not be genetic. For example, it may be associated with a white forelock, and be caused by a genetic disease called Waardenburg syndrome . In fact, more than half of congenital hearing loss is inherited. Alternatively, congenital deafness may be due to a condition or infection to which the mother was exposed during

OTORRHINOLARYNGOLOGY CHRISTIANE RIBEIRO ANIAS Medstudents' Homepage Sudden Deafness Introduction Sudden Deafness can be defined as a sensorineural hearing loss that develops over a period of hours or a few days. The severity of the hearing loss may vary from mild to total loss of perception of the most intense sound. The loss of hearing may be permanent, or the hearing may spontaneously return to normal or near normal. It is usually unilateral but it can be bilateral in about 4% of the cases. Although it has a small incidence, it is very important to know how to deal with this disease which is a medical emergency. Etiology Acoustic Neurinoma - About 15% of patients with this disease will present with sudden sensorineural hearing loss as their initial symptom. It is due to a compression of vestibulocochlear nerve in the inner. Noise - The exposition to acute acoustic trauma (gunfire injures and explosion for instance ) can cause severe and sudden hearing loss. The cause is partly a direct and mechanical one, due to bleeding and partly an indirect metabolic effect on the microcirculation causing partially reversible damage to the sensory cells of the organ of corti. Perilymph fistula - There is little doubt that perilymph fistula ( either spontaneous or following surgery, barotrauma or acoustic trauma ) can cause sudden deafness. Nevertheless, this is an area of significant controversy because of the lack of firm criteria for its diagnosis, including intraoperative observation.

For More Information What Is Aphasia? Aphasia (uh-fay'-zhuh) is a communication disorder that can affect a person's ability to use and understand spoken or written words. It results from damage to the side of the brain dominant for language. For most people, this is the left side. Aphasia usually occurs suddenly and often results from a stroke or head injury, but it can also develop slowly because of a brain tumor, an infection, or dementia. Top Types of Aphasia There are many different classification systems for aphasia and many different types of aphasia within each system. Some systems are based primarily on the location of the lesion, while others are based solely on the person's behavior. One system adopted by the National Aphasia Association divides aphasia into two broad categories: fluent and non-fluent aphasia.

D I S E A S E I N F O R M A T I O N E L D E R L Y Deafness Deafness can be either due to nerve deafness which involves the auditory poor hearing nerve in the brain itself or it can be a form of conduction deafness. This occurs when there is interference in the transmission of sound waves from the outer ear through to the inner ear before the auditory nerve carries sound on into the brain. Nerve deafness occurs in elderly people whose hearing deteriorates in the same way as eye sight does with age. Both conditions can be due to degenerative causes affecting the eye and ear tissue. Deafness due to excessive noise is mostly preventable - protective ear muffs should always be worn in noisy working environments. If caught early, nerve deafness due to loud noise will sometimes improve over a period of six months if the noise is avoided. Conduction deafness can be due to wax, foreign bodies, inflammation and tumours in the external canal. Deeper in the ear perforations of the ear drum, acute and chronic infection of the middle ear, degeneration, scarring and tumours, all of which can show up as conduction deafness. Your doctor should be consulted if you are growing deaf. It may be a simple matter of removing wax or it may necessitate seeing a specialist to determine the extent, type and cause of a deafness which may need more extensive treatment. Finally, in cases unsuitable for other methods of treatment or to complement other treatments, it may be necessary to institute hearing rehabilitation such as lip reading and auditory training to recognise sounds.

It is probably the most developed sensory system in the human apart from vision. The outer, middle and inner ear, hearing nerve and it's central connections allow us to hear what we want to hear while suppressing what we don't want to and attach meanings so that an appropriate response can be made. Hearing is extremely important for the development of spoken language. Those with a pre-lingual profound hearing loss will not have access to speech sounds and hence will not develop oral language, while those with a severe pre-lingual hearing loss will not develop normal speech. Moderate hearing loss may affect speech and (oral) language development and will have a considerable effect on the mainstream education of children. Mild hearing losses also may affect the ability to learn depending on a number of other factors. The incidence of significant permanent congenital hearing loss is about 1 in 1,000 live births. This almost doubles by the age 10 years because of acquired hearing loss from meningitis, mumps, measles, trauma and other causes. Most congenital hearing losses are due to the malfunction of the inner ear but a few are due to malformation of the middle ear ossicles or the ear canal. If the hearing loss is due to a problem within the inner ear, or occasionally due to abnormalities in the hearing nerve, the term sensorineural hearing loss is used. Hearing loss due to a problem within the middle ear or the outer ear is called a conductive hearing loss while a combination is called a mixed loss.

117. Deafness to an end when he began to experience his first symptoms of deafness. Karl Ameda on 1 July 1801, he admitted he was experiencing signs of deafness. http://www.lucare.com/immortal/deaf.html

Deafness Beethoven's career as a virtuoso pianist was brought to an end when he began to experience his first symptoms of deafness. In a letter written to his friend Karl Ameda on 1 July 1801, he admitted he was experiencing signs of deafness. How often I wish you were here, for your Beethoven is having a miserable life, at odds with nature and its Creator, abusing the latter for leaving his creatures vulnerable to the slightest accident ... My greatest faculty, my hearing, is greatly deteriorated. Apparently Beethoven had been aware of the problem for about three years, avoiding company lest his weakness be discovered, and retreating into himself. Friends ascribed his reserve to preoccupation and absentmindedness. In a letter to Wegeler, he w rote: How can I, a musician, say to people "I am deaf!" I shall, if I can, defy this fate, even though there will be times when I shall be the unhappiest of God's creatures ... I live only in music ... frequently working on three or four pieces simultaneously. Many men would have been driven to suicide; Beethoven may indeed have contemplated it. Yet his stubborn nature strengthened him and he came to terms with his deafness in a dynamic, constructive way. In a letter to Wegeler, written five months after the despairing one quoted above, it becomes clear that Beethoven, as always, stubborn, unyielding and struggling against destiny, saw his deafness as a challenge to be fought and overcome:

Full Article The Center for Hearing and Deafness Research at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center was established with the following primary objectives: To improve the clinical care of children with hearing impairment by providing innovative medical, surgical and rehabilitative management, and To advance understanding of the biological basis for normal hearing and deafness through cutting-edge molecular research. The mission of Cincinnati Children's Center for Hearing and Deafness Research receives impetus from the observation that as many as one out of every 2,000 children born in the United States will demonstrate a moderate or worse hearing loss, making congenital hearing loss one of the most common birth defects in the U.S. In Ohio alone, 450 to 500 children will be born each year with such a handicapping hearing loss. Of these congenitally deaf children, approximately 50 percent will have a genetic / hereditary basis to their deafness. Therefore, the study of genes involved in hearing and deafness is crucial to our understanding and care of children with handicapping hearing loss.
