Understanding Hearing Loss in Osteogenesis Imperfecta
<p>Hearing loss is a common yet understudied manifestation of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a hereditary disease of the connective tissues caused by mutations in collagen type I. The hallmark of OI is bone fragility, leading to frequent fractures in childhood that tend to decrease after puberty. …

Hearing loss in experimental bacterial meningitis
… inflammatory response and a labyrinthitis. Hearing loss in pneumococcal meningitis was measured by recording the evoked auditory nerve compound action potential from the round window membrane. Animals infected with PLN-A sustained significantly less hearing loss than those infected with …

Mutation of SLC7A14 Causes Syndromic Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit worldwide. Various pathogenic variants have been linked to sensorineural hearing loss, and transcriptomic analysis has also implicated novel mutations in hair cell genes. This study investigated Slc7a14, which is upregulated in adult mouse inner hair …

Caregivers' experiences with the diagnosis of hearing loss
Knowledge of the impact of a diagnosis of hearing loss in children on their caregivers and the nature of their relationships with professionals during this process is inadequate in South Africa. The purpose of this study was to understand the experiences and perceptions of caregivers of diagnosis …

Emergency vehicle siren noise: A potential for hearing loss
… noise was of an intensity to cause noise induced hearing loss. Previous studies in Western Australia and in South Australia examined noise emissions from emergency vehicle sirens for the purpose of selecting the most suitable siren for emergency vehicles, this being the siren emitting the greatest …

Elevated Cochlear Adenosine Causes Hearing Loss Via Adora2B Signaling
… people in the world have been diagnosed with hearing loss (HL). Current treatments for the most common type of HL, sensorineural HL, are limited to hearing aids and cochlear implants with no FDA-drugs available. The hearing process demands an abundance of ATP and HL is often attributed to a …

Examining the Relation Between Hearing Loss and Successful Aging
… engaged, it was hypothesized that self-perceived hearing problems limit the frequency of engagement in social and productive activities that require, to a large degree, the ability to hear and understand the speech of others. It was also hypothesized that social disengagement due to hearing …

Identification and Characterisation of New Mouse Models for Hearing Loss
… of two new ENU-induced mouse models of hearing loss, goya and Boycie, identified at the MRC Harwell Institute. The goya mice carry a splice site mutation in the mitogen-activated protein kinase Map3k1 gene. In addition to an eyes-open-at-birth phenotype, Map3k1goya/goya mice initially …

Pitch, loudness and frequency selectivity in low-frequency hearing loss
… cochlear hydrops show fluctuating low-frequency hearing loss (FLFHL). At present these changes are followed as patients' subjective reports and occasional measurements. Consecutive long-term measurements should provide more comprehensive information on the hearing fluctuations than the occasional …

Association Between Smoking, Chemical Exposure and Hearing Loss in an Occupational Setting
… Americans or roughly 8% of the population are hearing impaired. This affects more than just the ability for one to hear. In the last three decades, younger Americans have shown a sharp increase in hearing impairment. Hearing loss affects social and emotional well being and thus has the ability …
