Will the Minister of HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE be pleased to state:

(a)  whether  the  Government  has  taken cognizance  of  a  recent  study  report published  on  the increasing number of teenagers experiencing tinnitus, often a symptom of hearing loss; and

- (b) if so, the steps taken by the Government in this regard?

## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (SMT. ANUPRIYA PATEL )

(a) : The  Ministry  of  Health  &  Family  Welfare  has  not  received  any  report  of  research teenagers experiencing tinnitus.  H owever, as per the information made available by All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS),  New Delhi,  there arefew newspaper reports on the issue on 'Tinnitus in adolescents.'  These newspaper reports point to the study  by  Brazilian author Sanche z.  The study evaluated the 'Tinnitus in adolescents' and have found them to have higher prevalence  and  worse  'Loudness  discomfort  levels.'  Suggesting  it  to  be  indicator  for  hearing loss would be a premature conclusion and even study has suggested so.

Another  recent study in British Medical Journal (BMJ) open published recently anal systematically all literature on tinnitus and hyperacusis in children and adolescents. Data on th prevalence of tinnitus and hyperacusis in childre n and young people vary considerably according to the study design, study population and research question with a variation from 4.7% to (tinnitus) and from 3.2% to 17.1% (hyperacusis)  in 25 articles. This review finds diffe tinnitus defini tions, the tinnitus question used to establish prevalence and whether or not been tested if the child understands the question as the biggest bias for comparing stu lack  of  methodological  consistency  among  studies  indicates  the  necessity  of examining  the epidemiology of tinnitus and hyperacusis in children and adolescents with a set of stand and consistent criteria.

AIIMS, New Delhi is coordinating the nationwide survey on prevalence and epidemiologyof hearing loss (ICMR spo nsored) and also impact of electromagnetic radiation on auditory  and  vestibular  system  (ICMR  sponsored)  in  all  age  groups. The  results  would  be available once the projects are completed.
