Hearing impairment is common in adults, but few studies have addressed it the US Hispanic/Latino population.To determine prevalence of hearing among adults diverse backgrounds and associations with potential risk factors.The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study Latinos (HCHS/SOL) a population-based sample Hispanics/Latinos four communities (Bronx, New York; Chicago, Illinois; Miami, Florida; San Diego, California). Examinations were conducted from 2008 through 2011. The HCHS/SOL examined...
There are growing concerns over noise exposure via personal music system use by young adults. One purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and listening patterns associated with these systems in a large sample A second measure dB SPL ear canal adults while they blindly set volume four settings.In first study, survey completed 1016 students at various locations on San Diego State University campus. Questions included sex, age, ethnicity, race, whether or not used system. Students...
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the relation between self-reported cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cochlear function in older adults. Epidemiology Hearing Loss Study (EHLS) is an ongoing population-based study hearing loss its risk factors Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. As part EHLS questionnaire, participants were asked about their medical history. CVD history determined from questions regarding angina, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke. Questions use antihypertensive medication...
Little is known about hearing loss in children with HIV infection (HIV+). We examined the prevalence of perinatally HIV+ and HIV-exposed but uninfected (HEU) children, compared these percentage general population evaluated possible risk factors for HEU children.
To investigate the risk for language impairment (LI) in children perinatally infected or exposed to HIV.
Age-related hearing loss affects quality of life. Data on among aging human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive (HIV+) adults are limited.
The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy self-reported hearing loss in older Latino-American adults. Fifty-nine individuals, 32 women (mean age 62.2 years) and 27 men 62.4 years), participated. questionnaire addressed loss, aid use, other people's views their abilities. Based on question, ‘Do you feel have a loss?’, prevalence 57.6%, with 56.3% 59.3% reporting loss. Sensitivity, specificity, were calculated using question compared pure-tone average (PTA) at 500, 1000, 2000, 4000...
Children with perinatally acquired HIV (CPHIV) exhibit hearing impairments and language delays despite combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). Efficient sound processing depends on the peripheral central auditory systems (PAS, CAS), yet studies of HIV's effects have mainly focused PAS. Language also relies interactions between CAS non-auditory brain regions. This study used resting-state fMRI to map functional connectivity (FC) in 11-year-old CPHIV, focusing its links regions, within a...
Background: Children living with HIV are at higher risk for hearing loss compared to children HIV-unexposed, uninfected (HUU). There is little known regarding the effects of perinatally-acquired (PHIV) and those perinatal exposure but (PHEU) on central auditory function. Methods: aged 11–14 years who were participating in Auditory Research study. administered dichotic digits test (DDT) evaluate binaural integration as a part comprehensive protocol. Scores recorded percent correct each ear....
Introduction Children living with perinatally acquired HIV (CPHIV) demonstrate hearing impairments and language processing delays even in the presence of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). Investigations on effect auditory system have predominantly focused peripheral system. Additionally, requires efficient interaction between central (CAS) brain regions non-auditory regions. Investigating functional connectivity (FC) within CAS may reveal influence involved function. Methods Within...
1. To correlate exostosis severity with ear canal evaporative cooling. 2. assess hearing and complications after canalplasty.Retrospective chart review.A retrospective review from 1990 to 2007 at a university tertiary referral center.Surfers the west coast of United States were twice as likely have severe exostoses in right compared left. Evaporative cooling predominant northerly wind direction during coldest water temperature months this region may contribute lateral bias because surfers on...
Researchers are showing that the rate of hearing loss in children with perinatal HIV infection (PHIV) is higher than HIV-unexposed, uninfected children. These data, however, have been collected mostly USA; extensive data from low- and middle-income countries lacking. The purpose this study was to collect audiometric PHIV HIV-uninfected living Cape Town, South Africa. Questionnaire along distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) pure-tone testing were completed. Hearing determined...
Objectives: The recent integration of portable music players into cell phones has further increased the use personal listening devices (PLD) among young adults, raising concerns about potentially hazardous effects on hearing. Methods: Assessment adults’ hearing ability and preferences by subjective objective measurement. Young adult users PLDs (n = 50; 30 females, 20 males; mean age 24.1 ± 4.2 years; average PLD 6.1 2.1 years) were included. Subjective assessment was performed via a...
Studies have observed neurodevelopmental (ND) challenges among young children perinatally HIV-exposed yet uninfected (CHEU) with in utero antiretroviral (ARV) exposure, without clear linkage to specific ARVs. Atazanavir (ATV) boosted ritonavir has been a preferred protease inhibitor recommended for pregnant women, associations of ATV ND problems CHEU reported. early school-age are lacking. The pediatric HIV/AIDS cohort study (PHACS) surveillance monitoring therapy (ART) toxicities (SMARTT)...
As a means of partially distinguishing age effects and other risk factors in presbyacusis, hearing thresholds for 56- to 65-year-old participants screened exclusion selected were compared with 48- 55-year-old without the same factors. Hearing both groups also age-appropriate International Standards Organization (ISO) norms. Even after screening factors, differences sensitivity remained across groups. Across male female groups, generally better (lower) 48 55 year olds than 56 65 olds. ISO...
