    Evaluation of the hearing status in carpenters
    (2021) Budak, Buse; Coban, Kubra; Erbek, Selim S.; 34389884
    Purpose Carpenters are constantly exposed to a noise level of 82-100 dB(A) in their professional lives. The aim of this study is to evaluate the hearing status of carpenters with pure -tone audiometry and transient evoked otoacoustic emissions test. Methods A total of 62 individuals were enrolled. The study group consisted of 31 carpenters and the controls were age and sex matched healthy individuals who were not exposed to continuous or sudden noise. Results The average age of the carpenters is 44.58 +/- 10.33, the average age of the control group is 41.84 +/- 8.65 and there was no statistically significant difference (p = 0.262). There was a significant hearing loss in the study group nearly at all frequencies when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The emission values of the right and left ears of the carpenters were significantly lower than the controls at 2000 and 2800 Hz (p < 0.05). Conclusion Accordingly, carpenters seem to be susceptible to the development of noise-induced hearing loss.

    The effects of hyperinsulinemia on cochlear functions
    (2020) Koca, Arzu Or; Koca, Huseyin Samet; Anil, Cuneyd; 33402607
    Context: Hyperinsulinemia is the most common metabolic change associated with cochleovestibular diseases. Aim: We aimed to investigate the auditory functions in hyperinsulinemic individuals. Settings and Design: A total of 164 patients were included in this case-control study. While 76 patients with insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance [HOMA-IR] of >= 2.5) constituted the case group, 88 patients with HOMA-IR values of <2.5 constituted the control group of the study. Material and Methods: The 75 g oral glucose tolerance test, blood biochemistry tests, hormonal analysis, audiological assessment, electrocochleography (EcochG), and transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) testing were performed. Statistical Analysis: One-way analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance were used for the comparison of the metabolic and ear parameters in the normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) groups. The chi-square test was used to compare nominal variables. Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients were used for the correlation analyses of continuous variables. Results: The pure tone audiometry at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz was better in the case group than in the control group. A positive correlation was found between HbA1c and right ear 0.5, 1, 4, and 8 kHz threshold values and left ear 2, 4, 6, and 8 kHz threshold values. A negative correlation was found between HbA1c and speech discrimination scores. The right ear 1.00 and 2.83 kHz TEOAE measurements in the individuals with NGT were found higher than those in patients with IGT, and the 1.42 kHz TEOAE measurements and reproducibility were found higher than those in patients with IFG. The left ear 1.00 and 1.42 kHz TEOAE measurements of the IGT patients were found lower than those of IFG and NGT patients. Conclusion: We showed that hearing was worsening in hyperinsulinemic patients and prediabetic conditions were related to hearing function impairment.
