As consequências da hipoacusia unilateral

Abstract

A hipoacusia unilateral é uma doença que afeta cerca de 1 a 3 em cada 1000 nados-vivos. As suas consequências estendem-se para lá da diminuição da acuidade auditiva, revelando-se uma diminuição da capacidade de compreensão do discurso em ambientes ruidosos (decorrente da disfunção na audição binaural), atraso na aquisição de competências linguísticas e comunicativas, menor capacidade de atenção e piores resultados académicos. Recentemente, tem surgido evidência de que estes doentes apresentam alterações neurológicas estruturais e funcionais importantes que podem representar o substrato neuronal para algumas das manifestações da doença. Os modelos mais atuais de estudo do sistema nervoso central (nomeadamente o conectoma, através da ressonância magnética funcional) têm demonstrado que, para além de alterações da massa cinzenta, parecem também existir alterações da conectividade concordantes com os resultados até aqui obtidos. Questiona-se hoje em dia qual o papel que este conhecimento pode representar para os avanços na compreensão da doença, nomeadamente quanto à sua reversibilidade, gravidade e de que forma influenciam o prognóstico da mesma.

Unilateral hearing loss is a disease that affects about 1 to 3 per 1000 live births. Its consequences extend beyond the reduction of auditory acuity, revealing a reduction in the comprehension capacity of speech in noisy environments (due to binaural hearing dysfunction), delayed acquisition of linguistic and communicative skills, reduced attention span and worse academic results. Recently there has been evidence that these patients have crucial structural and functional neurological changes that appear to represent the neuronal substrate for some of the disease manifestations. The most recent models of studying the central nervous system (namely the connectome, via functional magnetic resonance imaging) have been revealing that changes in gray matter are also associated with changes in the connectome-level of the brain, consistent with the manifestations observed. It is nowadays questioned what role this knowledge might play in the advances of the diseases understanding, specifically their reversibility, severity and in what manner they influence its prognosis.
