Zusammenfassung: | Objective: To identify risk factors related to sensorineural hearing
loss in elderly. Methods: The sample consisted of 60 selected elderly,
divided into two groups: the Case Group, composed by 30 individuals, 21
females and 9 males, aged at least 60 years, presenting sensorineural
hearing loss, and the Control Group, composed by 30 individuals matched
on gender and age, with normal hearing. The patients were submitted to
audiological anamnesis and tonal audiometry. The hearing impairment was
defined according to average threshold greater than 35dBNA, in the
frequencies of 1,000; 2,000 and 4,000 Hz, in the best ear. Results:
Statistically significant odds ratios were: a) to audiological history:
noise exposure and family history of deafness; b) to situations
involving hearing difficulty: television, church, telephone, silent
environment, spatial location of sound, difficulty with voices and
noisy environment; c) to otologic history: tinnitus, otorrhea and
nausea; and d) to medical history: visual problems, smoke, alcohol,
thyroid problems and kidney disease. Conclusion: The findings of this
study highlighted, for sensorineural hearing loss, risk factors related
to audiologic, otologic and medical history, and to situations
involving hearing difficulty.
Objetivo: Identificar os fatores de risco relacionados à perda
auditiva sensorioneural em idosos. Métodos: Casuística
constituída por 60 pacientes idosos separados em dois grupos: o
Grupo de Caso, composto por 30 idosos, 21 do sexo feminino e 9 do sexo
masculino, com idade mínima de 60 anos de idade, apresentando
perda auditiva sensorioneural; e o Grupo Controle, composto por 30
idosos, pareados por gênero e idade, apresentando
audição normal. Os pacientes foram submetidos à anamnese
audiológica e audiometria tonal. O comprometimento auditivo foi
definido de acordo com média de limiar maior que 35dBNA, nas
frequências de 1000, 2000 e 4000 Hz, na melhor orelha. Resultados:
As razões de chances estatisticamente significantes foram: a) para
história audiológica: exposição a ruído e
história familiar de surdez; b) para situações de
dificuldade auditiva: televisão, igreja, telefone, ambiente
silencioso, localizar sons, dificuldade com vozes e ambiente ruidoso;
c) para história otológica: zumbido, otorréia e nauseas;
e d) para história médica: problemas visuais, fumo,
álcool, problemas na tireóide e doenças renais.
Conclusão: Os achados do estudo evidenciaram, para a perda
auditiva sensorioneural no idoso, fatores |
