[Effect of alcoholic intoxication on various indicators of the functional state of the acoustic analyzer]

The clinico-audiometric studies have shown that under the influence of acute alcoholic intoxication the normal examinees manifest dysfunction of the acoustic analyzer, whose intensity depends on the time elapsed since the moment of alcohol intake. In patients with alcoholism, chronic alcoholic intoxication results in the formation of steady dysfunction in the form of treble hypoacusis which correlates both with the stage and other clinico-dynamic parameters of the disease. In patients in the initial stage of acute alcoholic hallucinosis, acoustic analyzer function is characterized by marked disorders of audition in its central parts, which as acute alcoholic hallucinosis develops, tend towards aggravation.
