Background and Aim: Difficulty in perception of speech in noise is one of the main complaints of hearing-impaired people. Due to profound hearing loss in cochlear implant (CI) users, they need higher signal-to-noise ratio for a better perception. Bimodal fitting is a preferred way  for CI users because it prevents auditory nerve degeneration, is a complement of frequency range at the opposite ear, an is less invasive to provide binaural hearing. Acceptable noise level (ANL), as a reliable test to assess noise tolerance, has not yet been used in comparing children with bimodal hearing and CI. This study aimed to determine whether bimodal fitting can help CI children tolerate more noise. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 13 children with unilateral CI and bimodal hearing. Audiometry test was performed at aided and non-aided conditions. Then, their noise tolerance was assessed by the Persian version of ANL test. Results: Bimodal hearing resulted in  statistically significant increase in ANL. The  mean of ANL at unilateral CI and bimodal hearing conditions were 6.15±2.90 and 4.77±1.70, respectively. Conclusion: Bimodal fitting lead to more noise tolerance in unilateral CI children due to the combination of binaural summation and binaural release from masking. Keywords: Acceptable noise level; cochlear implant; hearing aid; bimodal hearing; profound hearing loss; binaural hearing
背景与目的:噪声环境下的言语感知困难是听障人士的主要抱怨之一。由于人工耳蜗(CI)用户有严重的听力损失,他们需要更高的信噪比才能获得更好的感知。双峰拟合是CI用户的首选方式,因为它可以防止听神经退化,是对耳频率范围的补充,并且提供双耳听力的侵入性较小。可接受噪声水平(ANL)作为评估噪声耐受性的可靠测试,尚未用于比较具有双峰听力和CI的儿童。本研究旨在确定双峰拟合是否可以帮助CI儿童耐受更多的噪声。方法:对13例单侧CI和双峰听力儿童进行描述性分析。听力测试在辅助和非辅助条件下进行。然后,通过波斯版ANL测试来评估他们的噪声耐受性。结果:双模态听力导致ANL在统计学上显著增加。单侧CI和双峰听力条件下ANL的平均值分别为6.15±2.90和4.77±1.70。结论:由于双耳相加和双耳从掩蔽中释放的结合,双峰拟合使单侧CI儿童具有更高的噪声耐受性。关键词:可接受噪声水平;人工耳蜗;助听器;双峰听力;严重听力损失;双耳听力

Background and Aim: The masking level difference (MLD) test is a behavioral test that assesses binaural interactions and central auditory processing. This study aims to design a binaural MLD (BMLD) test application using tonal and Speech Stimuli in Persian. Methods: In the first stage, the BMLD test application was designed in MATLAB software. Then, the spondaic words were recorded and added to the sound processing panel of the application. In the next stage, the MLD of tonal and speech stimuli was measured on 20 subjects aged 18–25 years. To examine the test-retest reliability of the application, all steps were repeated after one week. Results: The MLD values for tonal and speech stimuli under the SoNo-SπNo condition were significantly different from those under the SoNo-SoNπ condition (p<0.05). These values for tonal and speech stimuli were 10.50 and 6.12 dB under the SoNo- SπNo condition, and 6.85 and 4.43 under the SoNo- SoNπ condition. There was no significant difference in the MLD values between males and females. The intraclass correlation coefficient value for different phase conditions was more than 0.8, indicating the high reliability of the BMLD test application for tonal and speech stimuli in Persian (p<0.05). Conclusion: The designed BMLD test application using tonal and speech stimuli in Persian has similar results compared to the conventional methods of MLD test for other languages, therefore, this application can be used in audiology clinics in Iran to perform the MLD test. Keywords: Release from masking; masking; binaural hearing; software
背景和目的:掩蔽水平差(MLD)测试是一种评估双耳相互作用和中枢听觉处理的行为测试。本研究旨在设计一个使用波斯语音调和语音刺激的双耳MLD(BMLD)测试应用程序。方法:在第一阶段,在MATLAB软件中设计了BMLD测试应用程序。然后,对应的单词被记录并添加到应用程序的声音处理面板中。在下一阶段,对20名18-25岁的受试者测量音调和言语刺激的MLD。为了检查应用程序的重新测试可靠性,在一周后重复所有步骤。结果:在SoNo-SπNo条件下,音调和语音刺激的MLD值与SoNo-SoNπ条件下的MLD有显著差异(p<0.05)。在SoNo-SoπNo条件下音调和语音激励的MLD分别为10.50和6.12dB,在SoNoSoNπ条件下声音和语音刺激分别为6.85和4.43。男性和女性的MLD值没有显著差异。不同相位条件下的组内相关系数值大于0.8,表明BMLD测试应用程序对波斯语音调和语音刺激的可靠性很高(p<0.05),该应用程序可用于伊朗的听力学诊所进行MLD测试。关键词:掩蔽释放;掩蔽;双耳听力;软件

This work is a part of a complete project on preparing and validating the necessary materials for speech and central auditory processing tests for the Arabic Syrian community. Methods: In this cross-sectional comparative study, two sets of phonetically balanced monosyllabic word lists were constructed. The two selected 25-monosyllabic word lists were presented to 50 normal hearing participants with the age range of 5 to 10 years. Tests of validity and reliability were conducted to assure the suitability of this material for the word recognition test. The test was repeated for the same children after three weeks. Results: The two word lists have shown high face and content validity, Cronbach`s alpha coefficient was 0.79, 0.85 for the two lists respectively. Factor validity has shown that the test materials are one-dimensional, the first factor achieved 57.25 and 53.13 of the variance. Test- retest reliability (p<0.001) and Intraclass Correlation Coefficients reliability (p<0.001) were also significant. Conclusion: The data analysis shows that the Syrian version of the word recognition test has high degree of validity and reliability. Therefore, developing the Syrian version of the scale has good psychometric properties, which makes it appropriate for the local use.

Background and Aim: Although cochlear implantation (CI)  is a safe  surgical  procedure for severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) but, due to the embryological and anatomical connection between the vestibular and cochlear structures, vestibular dysfunction may occur after CI. Video head impulse test (vHIT) is a reliable test for assessing the function of semicircular canals (SCCs). This study aimed to determine the early effect of CI on SCCs function, by comparing pre- and post-operative vHIT results. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, participants were 22 adults with SNHL scheduled for unilateral CI in the right ear and 22 age-matched healthy subjects as a control group. The vHIT was conducted before and two weeks after CI. Results: The mean vHIT gains in the SNHL group were significantly lower than in controls, with a large effect size. Furthermore, the mean vHIT gains in the right lateral SCCs (p<0.001) and right anterior SCCs (p=0.003) were significantly reduced  after  CI,  compared  to the gain values before CI, with a large pooled effect size. However, these differences were not statistically significant for the right posterior SCCs. The comparison of vHIT gains in the non- implanted ear showed no statistically significant difference between pre- and post-operative phases. Conclusion: The vHIT is a useful clinical method to detect the early effects of CI on the function of SCCs. These effects are more obvious in the lateral and superior SCCs in the implanted ear. Keywords: Cochlear implantation; semicircular canals; video head impulse test
背景与目的:虽然人工耳蜗植入术是治疗重度至重度感音神经性听力损失(SNHL)的安全手术,但由于前庭和耳蜗结构在胚胎学和解剖学上的联系,人工耳蜗植入术后可能发生前庭功能障碍。视频头部脉冲试验(vHIT)是评估半规管(SCCs)功能的可靠试验。本研究旨在通过比较术前和术后vHIT结果来确定CI对SCCs功能的早期影响。方法:在这项横断面研究中,参与者是22名计划在右耳单侧CI的SNHL成人和22名年龄匹配的健康受试者作为对照组。vHIT分别在CI前和CI后两周进行。结果:SNHL组vHIT平均增益显著低于对照组,效应量较大。此外,与CI前相比,CI后右侧SCCs的平均vHIT增益(p<0.001)和右侧SCCs的平均vHIT增益(p=0.003)显着降低,具有较大的合并效应大小。然而,这些差异在右侧后部SCCs中没有统计学意义。未植入耳的vHIT增益比较显示术前和术后无统计学差异。结论:vHIT是临床早期检测CI对SCCs功能影响的有效方法。这些影响在植入耳的外侧和上部SCCs中更为明显。关键词:人工耳蜗植入术;半规管;视频头脉冲测试

Background and Aim: Generally, in noisy environments more informational masking occurs. Older adults benefit less than younger adults from spatial hearing and they have more problems of understanding speech in the presence of distracting speeches. This study was conducted to examine the effect of auditory spatial training on informational masking release in the elderly. Methods: Thirty-two 60-75-year-olds with normal hearing, who complain about difficulty   in speech perception in noise, participated in control and intervention groups (16 people in each group). The intervention included fifteen sessions of auditory spatial training. The informational masking measurement test scores were compared before the intervention, one session after the intervention, and one month after between the two groups. Results: There was a significant improvement in informational masking measurement scores in the intervention group compared to the control (p<0.02). The results showed no significant differences between the informational masking measurement scores before and after the intervention in the control group (p>0.05) and a significant difference in most signal to noise ratio i.e. 0, -5 and -10, in the intervention group (p≤0.006). No significant difference was found between the results of the two assessments one session and one month after the intervention in any of the positions (p>0.05), which suggests that both groups’ scores remained highly stable one month after the intervention Conclusion: This study introduced a spatial training program to improve speech perception in noise in normal-hearing elderly listeners. It was recommended that this kind of training be included in geriatric population auditory rehabilitation programs. Keywords: Informational masking; energetic masking; elderly; speech perception in noise
背景和目的:一般来说,在嘈杂的环境中,会出现更多的信息掩蔽。与年轻人相比,老年人从空间听觉中获益较少,而且在有分散注意力的演讲时,他们在理解演讲方面存在更多问题。本研究旨在检验听觉空间训练对老年人信息掩蔽释放的影响。方法:32名60-75岁听力正常、抱怨噪音中言语感知困难的老年人参加对照组和干预组(每组16人)。干预包括15次听觉空间训练。两组在干预前、干预后一次和干预后一个月比较信息掩蔽测量测试得分。结果:干预组的信息掩蔽测量得分与对照组相比有显著改善(p0.05),在干预组中(p≤0.006)。在任何位置的干预一个疗程和干预后一个月的两次评估结果之间均无显著差异(p>0.05),这表明干预一个月后,两组的得分都保持了高度稳定。结论:本研究引入了一种空间训练计划,以改善听力正常的老年听众在噪声中的言语感知。建议将这种训练纳入老年人听觉康复计划。关键词:信息屏蔽;能量掩蔽;老年人噪声中的言语感知

Background and Aim: Each year, millions of older people experience falling which can cause serious injuries such as broken bones, head injuries, or even death. Since Diabetes Mellitus can disrupt the balance system and increase falling, and given that fear of falling and balance confidence are critical fall-related psychological concerns that can be the risk factors of falls in the diabetic elderly, this study aimed to compare fear of falling and balance confidence of diabetic and non-diabetic older adults in Iran. Methods: Participants were 63 diabetic older patients and 59 non-diabetic peers aged 60 years and over. Data were collected using the Persian versions of falling efficacy scale-international and activities-specific balance confidence-short form questionnaires. In addition, modified Romberg and timed up and go tests were performed to assess subjective balance performance. Results: The scores of falling efficacy scale-international questionnaire and timed up and go test were significantly higher in diabetic group while the scores of activities-specific balance confidence-short form questionnaire were lower (p<0.001). No significant differences were observed in the modified Romberg test scores between two groups. Conclusion: Fear of falling and low balance confidence are more common in diabetic older adults compared to non-diabetic peers. They have poor performance in timed up and go test and have more falls during the last 12 months. Keywords: Type 2 diabetes mellitus; aging; fear of falling; balance confidence
背景和目的:每年都有数百万老年人经历跌倒,这可能导致骨折、头部受伤甚至死亡等严重伤害。由于糖尿病会破坏平衡系统并增加跌倒,并且对跌倒的恐惧和平衡信心是与跌倒相关的关键心理问题,可能是糖尿病老年人跌倒的风险因素,因此本研究旨在比较伊朗糖尿病和非糖尿病老年人对跌倒和平衡信心的恐惧。方法:参与者包括63名老年糖尿病患者和59名60岁及以上的非糖尿病同龄人。数据是使用波斯版的国际疗效下降量表和特定活动平衡置信度简式问卷收集的。此外,还进行了改良的Romberg和计时测试,以评估主观平衡表现。结果:糖尿病组下降疗效量表国际问卷和定时及go测试得分显著高于对照组,而活动特异性平衡信心简表得分较低(p<0.001),两组间改良Romberg测试得分无显著差异。结论:与非糖尿病同龄人相比,糖尿病老年人对跌倒的恐惧和低平衡信心更常见。他们在计时测试中表现不佳,在过去12个月里摔倒次数更多。关键词:2型糖尿病;变老害怕跌倒;平衡置信度

Background and Aim: Hearing loss is a highly prevalent symptom in patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Comorbidities such as Diabetes Mellitus is known as the most common cause of CKD and a significant risk factor for sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The aim of this study was to compare SNHL among diabetic with non-diabetic hemodialysis patients. Methods: In this study, 33 diabetic patients on hemodialysis were selected from Hami center, Arak, Iran. Non-diabetic subjects were 31 hemodialysis patients without diabetes were matched for age, duration of CKD and hemodialysis. Data were obtained via questionnaire, patients’ files, physical examination, otoscopy and tympanometry. Hearing was analyzed using pure-tone audiometry for both groups. Results: In the study, 66.2% of diabetic patients and 52.1% of non-diabetic subjects had SNHL. Results showed that diabetic patient has 1.3 times more likely to have hearing impairment. This difference was not statistically significant. Bilateral mild SNHL was the most prevalent in both groups. No significant difference was reported in SNHL prevalence, mean thresholds of hearing and ear laterality between the groups. Gender and age had a significant effect on hearing loss after adjusting covariables. No significant association was found between diabetes and hearing loss. Conclusion: SNHL was more common in hemodialysis patients with diabetes. Patients with diabetes had poorer hearing thresholds compared to non-diabetic group, with no significant difference between groups. The periodical assessment of hearing and extending audiological care in this high-risk population is recommended due to long-term irreversible symptoms of the disease. Keywords: Diabetes mellitus; hearing loss; end-stage renal disease
背景和目的:听力损失是慢性肾脏疾病(CKD)患者的一种非常普遍的症状。糖尿病等合并症是CKD最常见的病因,也是感音神经性听力损失(SNHL)的重要风险因素。本研究的目的是比较糖尿病和非糖尿病血液透析患者的SNHL。方法:本研究从伊朗阿拉克哈密中心选取33例糖尿病血液透析患者。非糖尿病受试者是31名无糖尿病的血液透析患者,他们的年龄、CKD持续时间和血液透析相匹配。通过问卷调查、患者档案、体格检查、耳镜检查和鼓室镜检查获得数据。采用纯音听力计对两组患者的听力进行分析。结果:在本研究中,66.2%的糖尿病患者和52.1%的非糖尿病受试者患有SNHL。结果显示,糖尿病患者出现听力障碍的可能性是正常人的1.3倍。这种差异在统计学上并不显著。双侧轻度SNHL在两组中最为普遍。两组之间的SNHL患病率、平均听力阈值和耳朵偏侧性没有显著差异。调整协变量后,性别和年龄对听力损失有显著影响。糖尿病和听力损失之间没有发现显著的关联。结论:SNHL在糖尿病血液透析患者中更为常见。与非糖尿病组相比,糖尿病患者的听力阈值较差,各组之间没有显著差异。由于该疾病的长期不可逆症状,建议对该高危人群进行定期听力评估和扩大听力护理。关键词:糖尿病;听力丧失终末期肾病

Background and Aim: To evaluate the success rate of revision myringoplasty using temporalis fascia graft and to assess the effect of potential influencing factors on closure of tympanic membrane (TM) and hearing outcome such as size and site of perforation, whether the patient is smoking or not and condition of contralateral ear. Methods: Thirty patients were included in this prospective study, who underwent revision myringoplasty for chronic otitis media without cholesteatoma in the period between 2017- 2019 in the Department of Ear, Nose, and Throat-Head and Neck Surgery in Almowasat University Hospital. Data of all patients: perforation size and site, middle ear status, surgical approach, graft material, pre and postoperative morphological and functional results were assessed. The temporal fascia was used for the reconstruction of TM. The interrelation between multiple preoperative parameters and postoperative morphological (closure of the perforation) and functional (hearing level) outcomes were assessed. Results: Successful closure rate of the TM perforation was 86.66% and failure rate was 13.34% in revision myringoplasty. The improvement of the air bone gap between 10-20 dB was 76.66% while the air bone gap between 20-30 dB was unchanged 23.33%. Conclusion: Revision myringoplasty can offer reasonably good chances for postoperative graft healing and hearing improvement with a high success rate. This gives the patient a good benefit in protecting the ear from developing complications that may have poor structural changes in the middle ear (ossicular necrosis and tympanosclerosis) which in turn leads to hearing loss. Keywords: Revision myringoplasty; temporalis fascia; tympanic membrane perforation
背景和目的:评估颞筋膜移植鼓膜翻修术的成功率,并评估穿孔大小和部位、患者是否吸烟和对侧耳朵状况等潜在影响因素对鼓膜闭合和听力结果的影响。方法:本前瞻性研究纳入了30名患者,他们在2017年至2019年期间,在Almowasat大学医院耳鼻喉头颈外科接受了无胆脂瘤的慢性中耳炎鼓膜翻修成形术。评估所有患者的数据:穿孔大小和位置、中耳状态、手术方法、移植物材料、术前和术后的形态学和功能结果。颞筋膜用于TM的重建。评估多种术前参数与术后形态(穿孔闭合)和功能(听力水平)结果之间的相互关系。结果:鼓膜修补术TM穿孔闭合成功率为86.66%,失败率为13.34%。10~20dB的气骨间隙改善率为76.66%,20~30dB的气缝改善率为23.33%。这使患者在保护耳朵免受并发症的影响方面有很好的益处,这些并发症可能会导致中耳结构的不良变化(听骨坏死和鼓室硬化),从而导致听力损失。关键词:翻修鼓膜成形术;颞筋膜;鼓膜穿孔

Background and Aim: Behcet’s disease (BD) is a multisystemic, chronic and progressive disorder with a relatively high prevalence in Iran. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the vestibular function between Iranian BD patients and normal subjects using cervical vestibular- evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) and video head impulse test (vHIT). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 44 patients with definitive BD in the inactive stage of disease and 30 age and sex matched normal subjects were evaluated via cVEMP and vHIT tests and dizziness handicap inventory (DHI). Then the parameters of the tests were compared between the two groups by statistical methods. Moreover, the effects of DHI scores and other contextual variables on the test results were examined. Results: In terms of the cVEMP test, the response rate and mean latency of p13 in the left ear were significantly lower, the amplitude of the cVEMP wave in the left ear and the amplitude asymmetry ratio were significantly higher in BD patients compared to normal subjects (p<0.05). Fifteen BD patients had abnormal amplitude and nine patients had abnormal latency of cVEMP responses. In terms of the vHIT test, the mean vestibule-ocular reflex gain of the left posterior semicircular canal and the mean gain asymmetry ratio of lateral canals were significantly higher in BD patients than in the controls (p<0.05). Conclusion: the vestibular system of some patients with BD is disturbed and the results of this study indicate the presence of unilateral vestibular weakness in BD. So vestibular assessment can be helpful for these patients. Keywords: Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials; video head impulse test; saccule; semicircular canals; behcet’s disease
背景和目的:白塞病(BD)是一种多系统、慢性和进行性疾病,在伊朗的发病率相对较高。因此,本研究旨在使用颈前庭诱发肌源性电位(cVEMP)和视频头部脉冲测试(vHIT)比较伊朗BD患者和正常受试者的前庭功能。方法:在这项横断面研究中,通过cVEMP和vHIT测试以及头晕障碍量表(DHI)对44名处于疾病非活动期的最终BD患者和30名年龄和性别匹配的正常受试者进行评估。然后用统计学方法对两组的各项试验参数进行比较。此外,还考察了DHI评分和其他情境变量对测试结果的影响。结果:在cVEMP测试方面,BD患者左耳p13的应答率和平均潜伏期显著低于正常人,左耳cVEMP波的振幅和振幅不对称率显著高于正常人(p<0.05)。vHIT测试显示,BD患者左后半规管的平均前庭眼反射增益和侧管的平均增益不对称率均显著高于对照组(p<0.05)。结论:部分BD患者的前庭系统受到干扰,本研究结果表明BD存在单侧前庭无力。因此前庭评估对这些患者有帮助。关键词:颈前庭诱发肌源性电位;视频头脉冲试验;囊状;半规管;白塞氏病

Background and Aim: Gallery walk is an active learning strategy in form of discussion that enables students to be more active in learning process. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of this strategy on the clinical performance of audiology students. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 30 fourth-year undergraduate students in audiology participated. They were assigned into two groups of traditional learning and gallery walk.  The educational content of both groups was similar and was related to the adult care clinical practicum. The assessments included Eustachian tube function test, site-of-lesion tests, and clinical masking. The clinical knowledge, and satisfaction level of students were compared before and after intervention. Results: Before the intervention, the difference in clinical knowledge was not statistically significant between the two study groups (p>0.05). After the intervention, we observed a considerable improvement in knowledge scores in both groups, mostly in the gallery walk group. The mean scores of site-of-lesion tests, and total score of knowledge were also significantly higher in the gallery walk group (p<0.05). The satisfaction level of students was above the average level (mean score=3.9±0.74). Conclusion: The gallery walk strategy has more positive effects on clinical practice of audiology students compared to traditional learning strategy. Keywords: Gallery walk; clinical education; audiology; satisfaction
