[Treatment of occupational neurosensory deafness and noises in internal ear]

Neurosensory deafness treatment can be effective only after removal of specific etiologic factor--exposure toindustrial noise, that necessitates change of work and occupation, i.e. occupational disablement. Search for effective, complex methods to treat and prevent neurosensory deafness in patients exposed to occupational noise remains topical problem in otorhinolaryngology and occupational therapy. The article presents a method of treatment and prevention of neurosensory deafness in patients exposed to occupational noise; demonstrates its efficiency. Combination of medical therapy and physical therapy improves function of conductive pathways of hearing analyser, enables adequate rehabilitation of hearing in workers--that was confirmed by audiologic and neurofunctional parameters. The method is inexpensive, can be operative in medical stations at enterprises.
