Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) may cause subclinical vestibular system dysfunction. This study found decreased vestibulo-ocular reflex gain in workers with NIHL, suggesting a shared mechanism for cochlear and vestibular damage.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neuroscience
  • Occupational Health

Context:

  • Vestibular system derangement is documented in noise-exposed animals.
  • Clinical reports on vestibular disturbances in industrial/military personnel with noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) are contradictory.
  • This study investigates vestibular function in men with documented NIHL.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate vestibular function in men with NIHL using electro-nystagmography (ENG) and smooth harmonic acceleration (SHA) tests.
  • To compare vestibular function between 22 men with NIHL and 21 matched controls.
  • To explore correlations between hearing loss and vestibular function parameters.

Summary:

  • Patients with NIHL exhibited significantly lower vestibulo-ocular reflex gain and a trend towards decreased caloric response compared to controls.

  • No significant differences were observed in vertigo incidence, nystagmus types, or specific ENG/SHA parameters between groups.
  • Results indicate a symmetrical, centrally compensated decline in vestibular end-organ response linked to symmetrical hearing loss.

    • Impact:

    • Demonstrates a subclinical, well-compensated malfunction of the vestibular system associated with NIHL.
    • Identifies statistically significant correlations between average hearing loss and decreased vestibulo-ocular reflex gain and ENG caloric lateralization.
    • Suggests a potential shared underlying mechanism for both cochlear and vestibular damage in NIHL.
