title: Audiological evaluation in children with cumulative low-level of lead exposure

description: Purpose to verify the occurrence of sensorineural hearing loss in children with low level of cumulative lead exposure. Methods 156 lead-poisoned children, 94 males and 62 females, ranging in age from 18 months old to 14 years and 5 months old were subjected to analysis of longitudinal lead level in blood as well as pure tone audiometry and transient evoked otoacoustic emissions. Results the population studied had a mean estimated blood lead level of 12,2±5,7mg/dL (range between 2,4 and 33mg/dL); all children had a normal response in pure tone audiometry at 20 dBHL in the frequencies tested, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz, in both ears; the transient evoked otoacoustic emissions were presented for all frequencies bilaterally in 79 children surveyed. Conclusion there has been no hearing loss in children with a history of low cumulative lead exposure, as there was no injury of cochlear outer hair cells, even if subclinical.

title: Auditory thresholds, otoacoustic emissions and medial olivocochlear system of ex-drug users

description: Purpose to analyze whether the use of illicit drugs may interfere with the peripheral and central auditory system. Methods 17 subjects were divided according to the kind of consumed drug: 10 individuals in the cannabis group (G1) and seven in the group of crack/cocaine (G2). The groups were subdivided according to the time of drug use: five, six to 10 and more than 15 years. They were evaluated by anamneses, pure tone audiometry, tympanometry, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) and TEOAE suppression effect. Results comparing the pure tones of G1 and G2, the worst results were observed in the G2, with a statistically significant difference in the group of one to five years at 250, 500, 6000 and 8000 Hz in the right ear and six to 10 years of about 4000 and 8000 Hz in the left ear. For the users of for more than 15 years, there are pure tones above 25 dBHL from 3000 to 8000 Hz in the right ear. In TEOAE and TEOAE suppression effect, any statistically significant difference was found between G1 and G2 and between the time of drug use. The suppressive effect of TEOAE was present in 79% of the tested ears. Conclusion the use of crack/cocaine has more deleterious effect in the auditory system if compared to marijuana. The time of use of the drug only influenced the results of the G1. The use of illicit drugs did not cause disorders in the medial olivocochlear system.

title: Noise effects on hospital laundry workers? hearing

description: Purpose to carry out a characterize the hearing profile of workers from a hospital laundry. Method crosscut study, with 95 workers, males and females, age averaging 38.23, held at the laundry of a public hospital located in the city of Curitiba, Parana State/Brazil. Documental laundry analysis was carried out (Medical Control and Occupational Health Program and Environmental Risk Prevention Program), noise measurement, anamnesis-applied hearing evaluation, tonal threshold audiometry, acoustic immittance, and transient otoacoustic emission testing. Audiograms were analyzed through clinical and occupational criteria (Labor Ministry/ Regulatory Norm 7). Results noise levels found were 77.0 to 99.0 dB(A), 37.89% audiograms were altered, among them, 18.94% suggesting noise-induced hearing loss, mainly among the clothes folders. The test of otoacoustic emissions showed no transient responses in 13 subjects with no emissions in some ears. Conclusion the laundry is a hazardous place for hearing loss, thus preventive measures, such as Hearing Conservation Programs must be adopted.

title: Relation of noise-induced hearing loss and tobacco use among workers in a food industry

description: Purpose to determine whether tobacco use enhances the effects of noise caused hearing. Methods 153 workers of both sexes, smokers and nonsmokers, from an food sector industry, randomly chosen from among 14 sectors of the company, whose band noise was presented a variation from 85 to 109 dB, answered a questionnaire about time exposure to noise as well as on smoking habits and submitted to audiometry. Results the hearing thresholds in the frequencies of 4000 Hz and 6000 Hz were significantly higher in the group of smokers / ex-smokers when compared to nonsmokers in both ears, these thresholds, characteristic of hearing loss induced by noise. These differences remained significant after age adjustment and exposure time. Conclusion through the obtained results it was possible to conclude a correlation between the use of tobacco and hearing loss.

title: Etiological investigation of deafness in neonates screened in a universal newborn hearing screening program

description: Purpose to describe the results of etiology of deaf in neonates screened in a universal newborn hearing screening program. Methods a descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective study. The study included all newborns diagnosed with hearing loss identified in a universal newborn hearing screening program from August 2003 to December 2006. The etiology of deaf was determined after detailed anamnesis performed by the otorhinolaryngologist; survey of serological tests for toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes, syphilis and HIV; tomography of the temporal bone and genetic tests. Results 17 neonates were diagnosed with hearing loss in the period studied. 64.7% of cases presented as probable causes prenatal etiology, 29.4% perinatal causes and one child (5.9%) had unknown etiology. Of prenatal causes, 36.4% had confirmed genetic origin and 36.4% presumed etiology of heredity. We confirmed the presence of congenital infections in 18.2% of cases and one child (9%) had craniofacial anomalies as a possible etiology. The degree of hearing loss more frequently observed in the subjects studied was the profound (47.1%). Conclusion the increased occurrence of etiologies in this study was of prenatal origin, followed by perinatal origin.

title: Comparison of electronic and paper and pencil administration of the parenting stress index - short form (PSI-SF)

description: Purpose to assess whether the electronic version of the Parenting Stress Index – Short Form (PSI-SF) is comparable to the paper and pencil administration. To evaluate stress in parents of children with normal development. Methods forty adults, parents of children between six months and ten years of age, were divided into four groups matched for age, gender, education and child’s age. In two different occasions, seven to ten days apart, participants completed the PSI-SF in the formats: paper-pencil/paper-pencil (PP), paper-pencil/electronic (PE), electronic/electronic (EE) and electronic/paper-pencil (PE). The PSI-SF has 36 statements, divided into three subscales: Parental Distress, Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction, and Difficult Child. Pearson’s correlations and comparison of the PSI-SF scores within and between groups were obtained. Results strong positive correlations were found between PSI-SF subscales and total scores in the first and second administration, for all groups. Significant differences were observed between the mean scores for the PP group (subscale “Difficult Child”;) and EE group (subscale “Difficult Child”; and the total score). Such differences in scores, however, did not alter in any means the interpretation of the results. Participants’ stress fell into normal values, for all subscales. Conclusion the electronic format of the PSI-SF questionnaire yields similar results to the standard paper-and-pencil administration of the test. Observed stress levels were considered normal.

title: The relationship between the lack of stapedial muscle reflex and the presence of (central) auditory processing disorders

description: Purpose to characterize and relate the findings of the acoustic reflex of the stapedial muscle in individuals diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder. Methods descriptive retrospective cross-sectional research submitted and approved by the Ethics in Research Committee, under protocol number 0047/11. The sample consisted of 83 individuals (57 males and 26 females), who showed abnormalities in auditory processing associated with the absence of acoustic reflex. Results and Discussion the results showed that the frequencies which lack more in the acoustic reflex both in the ipsilateral and in contralateral research were 4000 Hz, 3000 Hz and 500 Hz, respectively for both, but without significant difference in the statistical analysis. Also, in both groups the auditory skills which presented more change frequency were the speech in noise and temporal ordering which called the attention to their number when compared to other skills without significant difference in the statistical analysis performed by the Fisher, chi-square and ANOVA tests. Conclusion with shown results we can conclude that the nervous system structures for the central hearing are responsible for the bridge reflex system of the stapedial muscle, which also relate to the acoustic physiologic of the auditory skills which shows a possible relation to the lack of RA to the changes of the disorder of the (central) auditory processing

title: Comparison of visual and auditory skills in diplegic cerebral palsy

description: Purpose to compare the performance of auditory and visual psycholinguistic abilities of children with CP-D. Methods a total of ten children with CP-D, classified using the Gross Motor Function Measure System (GMFMS) scale, aged between four years and one month to five years and six months. The clinical assessment consisted of interviews with responsible, analysis of medical records and application of auditory and visual subtests of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA). Statistical analysis consisted of descriptive analysis and application of the Wilcoxon test (significance level was p ≤ 0.05). Results the tests that presented the lowest scores were in auditory sequential memory and visual sequential memory. When comparing between the auditory and visual abilities there were only statistically significant differences in the subtests of reception and association. The group behaved unevenly. This study aims to draw attention to this issue because it believes that these skills are extremely important for the development of linguistic and communication skills that should be thought in rehabilitations programs of these individuals. Conclusion there were statistically significant differences in the subtests of auditory and visual reception and association in this population.
