Hearing

56.2K
When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.8K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

The Auditory Ossicles

2.8K
The auditory ossicles of the middle ear transmit sounds from the air as vibrations to the fluid-filled cochlea. The auditory ossicles consist of two malleus (hammer) bones, two incus (anvil) bones, and two stapes (stirrups), one on each side. These bones develop during the fetal stage and are the ones to ossify first. They are fully mature at birth and do not grow afterward.
The aptly named stapes look very much like a stirrup. The three ossicles are unique to mammals, and each plays a role in...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted healthcare, necessitating adaptations in various medical fields.
  • Anosmia (loss of smell) and ageusia (loss of taste) have emerged as prominent symptoms associated with COVID-19, drawing considerable attention.
  • The widespread use of face masks for infection control has introduced new challenges in communication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the field of otolaryngology.
  • To review considerations for treating smell and taste dysfunction related to COVID-19, particularly with quinine-derived medications.
  • To analyze the impact of mask-wearing on interpersonal communication within an otolaryngological context.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research on COVID-19 symptoms, treatments, and communication.
  • Analysis of clinical observations regarding anosmia, ageusia, and therapeutic interventions.
  • Examination of audiological and speech-language pathology principles related to masked communication.

Main Results:

  • Anosmia and ageusia are significant, frequently reported symptoms of COVID-19.
  • Quinine-derived drugs present potential treatment avenues for smell and taste disorders, requiring careful consideration.
  • Masks demonstrably impede auditory cues and speech clarity, affecting communication effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • Otolaryngology faces unique challenges due to COVID-19, including managing sensory dysfunctions and communication barriers.
  • Further research is warranted on the efficacy and safety of specific treatments for COVID-19-related olfactory and gustatory impairments.
  • Strategies to mitigate communication difficulties caused by mask-wearing are essential for patient care and interaction.
