The link between NSAIDs and hearing loss tends to be greater in women, especially those who take ibuprofen six or more times a week. [36] Others may cause permanent hearing loss. [37] The most important group is the aminoglycosides (main member gentamicin) and platinum based chemotherapeutics such as cisplatin and carboplatin. [38] [39]
The symptoms of hearing loss in babies and children, however, are slightly different, and can be difficult to catch. For instance, a baby with hearing loss may not startle at loud noises.
All three types of otitis media may be associated with hearing loss. [2] [3] If children with hearing loss due to OME do not learn sign language, it may affect their ability to learn. [8] The cause of AOM is related to childhood anatomy and immune function. [4] Either bacteria or viruses may be involved. [4]
Hearing loss has multiple causes, including ageing, genetics, perinatal problems and acquired causes like noise and disease. For some kinds of hearing loss the cause may be classified as of unknown cause. [citation needed] There is a progressive loss of ability to hear high frequencies with aging known as presbycusis. For men, this can start as ...
Alport syndrome is a genetic disorder [1] affecting around 1 in 5,000–10,000 children, [2] characterized by glomerulonephritis, end-stage kidney disease, and hearing loss. [3] Alport syndrome can also affect the eyes, though the changes do not usually affect vision, except when changes to the lens occur in later life. Blood in urine is universal.
Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) was first defined by Dr. Brian McCabe in a landmark paper describing an autoimmune loss of hearing. [2] The disease results in progressive sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) that acts bilaterally and asymmetrically, and sometimes affects an individual's vestibular system .
Fluid accumulation is the most common cause of conductive hearing loss in the middle ear, especially in children. [3] Major causes are ear infections or conditions that block the eustachian tube , such as allergies or tumors. [ 3 ]
Auditory symptoms are common with Norrie disease. Progressive hearing loss has been reported to occur in 85–90% of patients and onset is generally in childhood and before the patient reaches their mid-20s. [9] [18] Early hearing loss is sensorineural, mild and asymmetric. [2] By adolescence, high-frequency hearing loss begins to appear.
