A Study of Relationship between Serum Lipids and Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Objectives: To study the correlation between sensorineural hearing loss and serum level of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL (High Density Lipoprotien) and LDL (Low Density Lipoprotien) in patients aged between 30 to 60 years attending otorhinolaryngology department of KIMS. Materials and methods: 100 adults aged 30-60 years, with SNHL were included in a prospective comparative study and various degree of hearing loss was compared with serum lipids level. Relevant history was obtained. Examination and investigations were conducted. Results: Statistically significant(p<0.05)mean values of total cholesterol, triglycerides among different degrees of SNHL were found out to be directly proportional in both sexes. In contrast mean values of HDL was inversely proportional. Conclusion: The study shows significant relationship between serum lipid and various degrees of sensorineural hearing loss. Increase in total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL, were associated with worsening of hearing levels. Elevated levels of HDL were found to be associated with better hearing levels. Early detection can prevent high risks for both coronary artery disease, hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction.
