Abstract

Background: Younger adults frequently utilize personal music systems (PMSs) for extended periods for leisure. It has been reported in the literature that hearing abilities are affected in such individuals. However, its effect on auditory processing abilities and the vestibular system remains unclear. Hence, the present study was carried out to investigate the audiological and vestibular functioning in young adults who use PMSs regularly.

Methods: Forty participants between 18 and 25 years of age were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 included 20 regular PMSs users from 2 to 3 years, and group 2 comprised 20 participants who were non-regular PMSs users. Detailed audiological evaluations were carried out on 15 participants in each group, and vestibular evaluations were carried out on all the participants.

Results: It was observed that the extended high-frequency hearing thresholds and otoacoustic emissions were affected in the regular PMSs users. The gap in noise test and vestibular evoked myogenic potential testing revealed that temporal resolution abilities and vestibular system functioning are also compromised among regular PMS users.

Conclusion: Thus, this study highlights the subtle vestibular and auditory impairments that PMS may produce in young adults, as well as the significance of a battery of tests to detect them.

经常和不经常使用个人音乐系统的青少年的听觉前庭功能调查。
背景:年轻人经常使用个人音乐系统(pms)长时间休闲。据文献报道,这些人的听力能力会受到影响。然而,其对听觉处理能力和前庭系统的影响尚不清楚。因此,本研究旨在调查经常使用pms的年轻人的听力学和前庭功能。方法:40名年龄在18 ~ 25岁之间的参与者分为两组。第1组包括20名2至3年经常使用经前综合症的人,第2组包括20名不经常使用经前综合症的人。对每组15名受试者进行详细听力学评估,并对所有受试者进行前庭评估。结果:常规pms服用者的延长高频听阈和耳声发射受到影响。噪声测试和前庭诱发肌电位测试的差异表明,经常使用经前症候群的人时间分辨能力和前庭系统功能也受到损害。结论:因此,这项研究强调了经前综合症可能在年轻人中产生的微妙的前庭和听觉损伤,以及一系列检测它们的意义。
