Stroke patients

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Audiology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Stroke can affect various neurological functions, including auditory processing.
  • Hearing impairment is a common comorbidity in the elderly population.
  • The impact of stroke on hearing thresholds requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess pure-tone hearing thresholds in patients with right and left hemiplegia post-stroke.
  • To investigate the relationship between stroke-induced hemiplegia, aphasia, and hearing loss.
  • To compare hearing loss prevalence in stroke patients with general elderly populations.

Main Methods:

  • Pure-tone audiometry via air conduction was performed on 140 right hemiplegic and 103 left hemiplegic patients.
  • Statistical analysis was used to evaluate audiometric thresholds and their correlation with stroke characteristics.

  • Hearing loss severity was compared between groups and against established population data.

    • Main Results:

    • Aphasic patients' ability to perform audiometric tests was not dependent on aphasia severity.
    • Aphasic patients did not experience disproportionately greater hearing loss than non-aphasic right hemiplegic patients.
    • No correlation was found between hearing loss severity, test ear, or side of hemiplegia.
    • High-frequency hearing loss severity aligned with elderly male populations.
    • Hearing loss prevalence was higher in stroke patients than the general elderly population but consistent with nursing home residents.

    Conclusions:

    • Stroke severity or side of hemiplegia does not appear to directly influence hearing loss.
    • Aphasia does not significantly exacerbate hearing impairment in stroke patients.
    • Stroke patients exhibit a higher prevalence of hearing loss compared to the general elderly population, suggesting a need for audiological screening.
