40. Hearing deficits in young adults who had a history of otitis media in childhood: use of personal stereos had no effect on hearing

Abstract

Objective. To test the hypothesis proposed in a recent French study that a history of recurrent otitis media (OM) in childhood increases susceptibility to hearing loss from frequent exposure to a personal stereo (PS) during development to early adulthood. Methods. A subcohort of 358 young adults selected from a historic cohort study, all 18 years old and with a well-documented OM history (secretory and acute), provided data on the sound level and length of exposure to PSs. Four contrasting groups were formed: those with the highest or lowest PS exposure combined with a positive or negative history of OM (n = 238). The main outcome measure was hearing thresholds from pure-tone audiometry (0.5-8 kHz). Results. Young adults with a history of recurrent OM in childhood did not show greater susceptibility to hearing loss from PS use than their peers without a history of OM. However, a history of recurrent OM was associated with significant mean air-conduction hearing loss of 4 dB and a mean bone-conduction hearing loss of 2 dB compared with the participants without a history of OM (Fig 1). Conclusions. Recurrent OM in childhood may have an irreversible effect on the middle ear and the cochlea and may lead to hearing deficits in later life. No interaction with PS exposure is seen.

48. Development of a Central Auditory Test Battery for Adults.

Abstract

There is little standardized test material in Dutch to document central auditory processing disorders (CAPDs). Therefore, a new central auditory test battery was composed and standardized for use with adult populations and older children. The test battery comprised seven tests (words in noise, filtered speech, binaural fusion, sentences in noise, dichotic digits, frequency and duration patterns, backward masking) and a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics obtained from 28 Dutch adults with normal hearing are presented. Eleven of the subjects were retested. The test--retest results showed that the variability between subjects was not due to systematic effects. Except for the backward masking test, the results were comparable with data from other studies. As most test scores did not follow a normal distribution, cut-off scores are recommended to evaluate individual subjects. Experiments on subjects with suspected CAPDs are in progress to validate the test battery and to see whether the number of tests can be reduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
