102. Sudden Deafness OTORRHINOLARYNGOLOGY-MEDSTUDENTS A small review of sudden deafness including the most common etiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment of this otorrhynolaryngologic emergency. http://www.medstudents.com.br/otor/otor4.htm

OTORRHINOLARYNGOLOGY CHRISTIANE RIBEIRO ANIAS Medstudents' Homepage Sudden Deafness Introduction Sudden Deafness can be defined as a sensorineural hearing loss that develops over a period of hours or a few days. The severity of the hearing loss may vary from mild to total loss of perception of the most intense sound. The loss of hearing may be permanent, or the hearing may spontaneously return to normal or near normal. It is usually unilateral but it can be bilateral in about 4% of the cases. Although it has a small incidence, it is very important to know how to deal with this disease which is a medical emergency. Etiology Acoustic Neurinoma - About 15% of patients with this disease will present with sudden sensorineural hearing loss as their initial symptom. It is due to a compression of vestibulocochlear nerve in the inner. Noise - The exposition to acute acoustic trauma (gunfire injures and explosion for instance ) can cause severe and sudden hearing loss. The cause is partly a direct and mechanical one, due to bleeding and partly an indirect metabolic effect on the microcirculation causing partially reversible damage to the sensory cells of the organ of corti. Perilymph fistula - There is little doubt that perilymph fistula ( either spontaneous or following surgery, barotrauma or acoustic trauma ) can cause sudden deafness. Nevertheless, this is an area of significant controversy because of the lack of firm criteria for its diagnosis, including intraoperative observation.

119. The Auditory Laboratory - University Of Western Australia The laboratory carries out research into hearing and deafness in conjunction with the universities Audiology program. http://www.auditory.uwa.edu.au

The Auditory Laboratory specialises in original research into the physiology of hearing. It is one of Australia's leading research institutions in auditory physiology, having a world-wide reputation established over the past thirty years. Housed in the School of Biomedical and Chemical Sciences at the University of Western Australia , the Auditory Laboratory derives its funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council and from the Australian Research Council. Original research is presented at national and international conferences, and is published in international science journals of high prestige. Deafness is one of the most common forms of impairment in Australia. This laboratory carries out fundamental research into the basic physiological mechanisms underlying normal hearing and deafness, using experimental animals, computer simulations and human subjects. The laboratory consists of two academic staff, four research scientists, and Honours, Masters and PhD students. The Auditory Laboratory is attempting to answer the following broad questions: What are the basic cellular and biophysical mechanisms that determine hearing sensitivity?

120. White Cats And Deafness Is deafness linked only to oddeyed white cats? There is an established link between the white coat color, blue eyes and deafness. http://messybeast.com/whitecat.htm

WHITE CATS AND DEAFNESS 2001, Sarah Hartwell A few years back I was asked three related questions on a newsgroup. This article is adapted from my answer. - Are white cats, particularly blue eyed white cats, always deaf or is this an old wives' tale? - Is deafness linked only to odd-eyed white cats? - Some blue-eyed whites aren't deaf - why? There is an established link between the white coat color, blue eyes and deafness. The deafness is linked to the gene for blue-eye(s) and not to odd-eyed cats. Not all blue-eyed whites will be deaf since there are several different genes causing the same physical attributes (whiteness, blue-eyedness) so it all depends on the cat's genotype (its genetic make-up) not its phenotype (its physical appearance). Some people claim that 99% of blue-eyed white cats are deaf. This is inaccurate because blue-eyedness and whiteness can both be caused by different genes. It all depends on what genes the cat has inherited. These are the actual figures from scientific studies around the world. The percentages are given in ranges because results are different in different areas, partly because of the different genes found in the cat population. Where a cat is classed as deaf, the deafness may affect one or both ears. 95% of the general cat population is non-white cats (i.e. not pure white) and congenital deafness is extremely rare in non-white cats.
