Influência do zumbido nos limiares auditivos de altas freqüências Tinnitus influence on high-frequency hearing thresholds

Abstract

OBJETIVO: Estudar a influência do zumbido nos limiares auditivos das altas freqüências. MÉTODOS: A amostra foi composta por 30 indivíduos do sexo feminino, com idades entre 19 a 56 anos, sendo 14 com zumbido (grupo estudo) e 16 sem zumbido (grupo controle), todos com limiares tonais de 0,25 a 8 kHz até 25 dB NA. Foram pesquisados os limiares tonais de 9, 10, 12, 14 e 16 kHz. RESULTADOS: Houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os limiares auditivos de alta freqüência entre o grupo estudo e o controle, sendo piores no grupo estudo. Não foi observada diferença significante entre os limiares auditivos das orelhas direita e esquerda dos indivíduos do grupo estudo, bem como em relação à localização da queixa de zumbido. Observou-se diferença estatisticamente significante entre as médias de idade dos grupos, sendo o grupo estudo composto por pessoas mais velhas. CONCLUSÃO: A pesquisa das altas freqüências apresenta-se como uma alternativa diagnóstica na identificação precoce de perdas auditivas.PURPOSE: To study tinnitus influence on high-frequency hearing thresholds (HFHTs). METHODS: The sample consisted of 30 female subjects aged 19 to 56 years, 14 with reported tinnitus (study group) and 16 with no tinnitus complaints (control group). All subjects had pure tone thresholds up to 25dB in the frequency range from 0.25 through 8 kHz. The research investigated the pure tone thresholds of 9, 10, 12, 14 and 16 kHz. RESULTS: The study group was found to have significantly lower HFHTs. No significant differences were found between hearing thresholds for right and left ears in the study group, as well as regarding the reported localization of the tinnitus. The average age of the subjects in the study group was significantly higher when compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: Determination of HFHTs is a diagnostic alternative for an early identification of hearing losses.
