  1. Hearing Loss Peter Rigby M.D. Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans

  2. Strategies in Patient Management • Review and compare the clinical presentation of hearing loss for children and adults • Review diagnostic workup for new onset hearing loss • Review initial management for new onset hearing loss

  3. Strategies in Patient Management OLD YOUNG

  4. Strategies in Patient Management SENSORINEURAL CONDUCTIVE

  5. NORMAL LEFT EAR

  6. Epidemiology • Congenital: • unilateral or mod 50/1000 • Profound SNHL 4/1000 • Genetic SNHL 1/1000 • Adult SNHL (age 65) 166/1000 • Hereditary SNHL 27/1000 • Mature SNHL (age 80) 500/1000 • CHL 10/1000

  7. Strategies in Patient Management Child with newly discovered hearing loss: Infant screening Language delay Difficulty in school

  8. Genetic Aquired Unknown Congenital Hearing Loss Etiology of Congenital Hearing Loss

  9. Epidemiology • Congenital Infection: • Cytomemalovirus • *found in 1-2% of all live births • Rubella *progressive hearing loss • Syphilis • measles (rubeola), mumps, toxoplasmosis, herpes simplex

  10. Epidemiology • Neonatal Infection: • bacterial meningitis • *7% of all childhood hearing loss • pneumococcus • NeisseriaHaemophilus influenza

  29. Laboratory Testing • MRI temporal bones • Acoustic neuroma • Facial schwannoma • Multiple sclerosis • Cholesteatoma • encephalocele • Central axis tumors

  32. Ossicular Fixation • Audiogram • CT- Coronal • ossicles, middle ear size, oval window, facial nerve, otic capsule, IAC • vestibular aquaduct • cochlear aquaduct • Watch out for SNHL, balance symptoms

  33. Stapes Fixation • juvenile otosclerosis • Treacher Collins • Klippel-Feil • Pfeiffer • branchio-oto-renal • ear pits-deafness • cervico-acoustic syndromes • Crouson • X linked mixed deafness with gusher • osteogenesis imperfecta

  34. Atresia • 1:10,000 - 1:20,000 • 1/3 bilateral • usually asymmetric defects

  35. Atresia: Timing • Bilateral Atresia: • Audiometric evaluation: early • Amplify: early • Auditory/Speech assistance in school • CT age 4-5 • Repair age 6 • Unilateral Atresia: • Audiometric evaluation: early • Amplify: usually not accepted • CT age 4-5 (also screen for canal cholest) • balance need/timing of repair with risks

  36. Herpes zoster oticus

  37. Polyp in ear canal

  38. Acute otitis media

  39. tympanosclerosis

  40. cholesteatoma

  41. cholesteatoma

  42. Chronic otitis media Cholesteatoma tympanosclerosis

  43. aspergillosis

  44. Basal cell carcinoma

  45. Squamous Cell carcinoma

  46. Squamous Cell carcinoma

  47. Conclusion • A stepwise approach to hearing loss evaluation aids in identification of etiology without excessive testing • Workup should be tailored to age, history, and early examination of the ear • Workup should be directed at treatable causes
