Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Audiology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Profound hearing loss (PHL) significantly impacts communication and quality of life.
  • Defining deafness accurately is essential for appropriate patient management.
  • Understanding the clinical spectrum of PHL aids in diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical characteristics of profound hearing loss (PHL).
  • To determine the significance of clinical findings in defining deafness.
  • To evaluate the role of audiological and medical data in diagnosing hearing loss.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of audiological data from 3660 patients.
  • Analysis of medical charts, including diagnoses, surgical records, and radiological findings.
  • Identification of patients with bilateral, unilateral, and borderline profound hearing loss.

Main Results:

  • 34 patients had bilateral PHL/deafness, 177 unilateral PHL, and 123 borderline PHL.
  • Congenital and unknown-cause hearing loss predominated (79.9%).
  • Surgical intervention was indicated in 11.7% of cases for conditions like middle ear infections and tumors.

Conclusions:

  • Audiometric PHL necessitates comprehensive evaluation for reversible conditions.
  • Accurate deafness diagnosis requires integrating audiological, medical, surgical, and radiological data.
  • Aural rehabilitation should be individualized based on etiology and residual hearing.
