Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis is widely believed to be driven by the Amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition. A relationship between Aβ deposition and objective measures of vestibular function in cognitively intact older adults with peripheral vestibular disorders had gained previous attention; however, no significant relationship between the two was observed. The aim of this study was to examine the association between chronic subjective dizziness (CSD) and Aβ deposition among older adults who are at risk of AD. Methods. The study included 5707 participants without dementia, enrolled in the Mayo Clinic Study of Ageing with reported dizziness, neuropsychological and cognitive evaluations, and brain imaging at baseline and for every 15-months. Results. A total of 924 ageing adults reported dizziness at baseline. The estimated risk of developing CSD at 10-year was 49%. The CSD group is twice likely to have elevated Aβ deposition (HR = 2.23; p ≤ .001) compared to the control group. After controlling for demographic and other risk factors, CSD was significantly associated with Aβ deposition [HR = 1.8, p ≤ .001]. The status of neuropsychiatric symptoms plays a significant role in this association [HR = 1.0, p ≤ .001]. Conclusion. CSD was associated with Aβ deposition in older adults who are at risk of AD including those without dementia and cognitively unimpaired individuals, and modestly more significant cognitive decline during follow-up. The status of neuropsychiatric symptoms plays a significant role in this association. Screening for and appropriately managing CSD as a risk factor for AD may be warranted.","PeriodicalId":43765,"journal":{"name":"Hearing Balance and Communication","volume":"36 1","pages":"247 - 256"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84705942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The listening effort was measured using the dual-task paradigm at four different signal-to-noise conditions. In addition, a gap detection test was used to assess temporal processing ability. Results The repeat and recall scores were reduced with decreased signal-to-noise ratios in each group. These differences were significantly poorer in the clinical group than in the control group. A significant strong positive relation was observed between the recall and repeat scores of both groups for the listening effort tasks.

A repeated measures research design was utilised to investigate phrase perception in unprocessed and deep band modulated phrases at different signal-to-noise (SNR) ratios (−4, 0, and +4). Temporal processing, spectral discrimination and speech intelligibility index were assessed. Results Regardless of the group, the phrase perception in the deep band modulated condition was significantly better than the unprocessed condition at each SNR. A significantly strong negative correlation was observed between: Gap detection threshold (GDT) and phrase perception scores in unprocessed condition at −4 dB SNR in each group; frequency difference limen in each condition and DBM phrase perception at −4 dB SNR in the older adult group with hearing impaired (OAG-HI) group. Furthermore, audibility reflected in the speech intelligibility index (SII) did not influence phrase recognition irrespective of condition, SNRs and group.

This study aims to demonstrate the relationship between risk factors for hearing loss and the results of Otoacoustic emission in Iranian newborns. Methods We have retrospectively considered 536 newborns admitted to the Audiology Department of a Children’s Hospital in the north of Iran. Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAEs) was recorded during the first week of birth, and the risk factors of hearing loss were collected. Results We found that parent relatives and family history were significantly correlated with OAEs refer results. Moreover, hyper-bilirubinemia indicated a significant correlation only with first right OAEs. There was a significant correlation between gender and first left and right OAEs. Other risk factors such as seizure, transient tachypnoea of the newborn (TTN) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and lip cleft had a significant correlation with first left and right OAEs results; however, these correlations were not relatively highlighted. Conclusions Generally, our data confirm that hearing screening is an absolute necessity in the greater number of newborns. People who got consanguineous marriages should be aware of high incidence of the congenital hearing loss due to parent relatives and family history.","PeriodicalId":43765,"journal":{"name":"Hearing Balance and Communication","volume":"267 1","pages":"82 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86349467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve the best developmental outcomes in case of profound deafness, cochlear implantation (CI) needs to take place in a critical period during the first year of life, before the cross-modal reorganization of the brain due to auditory deprivation stabilises, preventing the typical development of the auditory cortices. Despite its importance for implantation outcomes, the nature of this critical period and the underlying neural reorganization have not been fully explored. Materials and methods: To fill this knowledge gap, we investigated the cortical responses of 12-month-old profoundly deaf infants and their age-matched controls to sounds produced by a human voice as compared to non-human sounds using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The deaf infants were tested before undergoing CI surgery and wore hearing aids, allowing them to perceive low frequencies. Human voice stimuli have been shown to trigger brain responses early in development, possibly due to its evolutionary relevance for survival. Results: We found increased brain responses to the human voice in the deaf infants in the bilateral fronto-temporal areas, and their responses correlated with their residual hearing thresholds. These results suggest that even the limited sound stimulation that these deaf infants receive due to their residual hearing allowed the temporal cortices to develop sensitivity to the human voice prior to implantation. The hearing control group showed an inverted hemodynamic response to both voice and non-voice stimuli in the left parietal and right temporal areas, suggesting that by 12 months of age, they habituate rapidly to these very familiar stimuli. While both groups showed an inverted response to the non-voice stimuli, they differed in their responses to voice stimuli. Conclusions: We hypothesize that the responses found in deaf infants to human voice can be consider a good cochlear implant prognosis.","PeriodicalId":43765,"journal":{"name":"Hearing Balance and Communication","volume":"1 1","pages":"179 - 185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87950023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
