The aim of this study was to investigate cochlear functions in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG).
Twenty-nine HG patients (58 ears) and 31 healthy control subjects (62 ears) were included. Audiometry testings at 250 and 500 Hz and 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 kHz were performed to the patients and controls.
Mean age of patients with HG was 26,5 ± 4,4 years and the mean age of control group was 28,0 ± 4,2 years. At the time of the tests mean gestational age of the HG group and controls were 9 and 11 weeks respectively. No differences were observed between the groups in tympanic membrane status, or other otolaringological evaluations. No significant differences were observed in audiometric tests at any frequencies between the groups (p values for all > 0.05).
There was not a difference between pregnant cases with HG and cases with normal pregnancy in terms of audimetric tests. Cochlear functions are not affected remarkably in women with HG.
本研究旨在调查妊娠剧吐(HG)患者的耳蜗功能。
纳入29例HG患者(58耳)和31名健康对照者(62耳)。对患者和对照者进行了250Hz、500Hz以及1、2、4、8、10、12、14、16kHz的听力测试。
HG患者的平均年龄为26.5±4.4岁,对照组的平均年龄为28.0±4.2岁。测试时,HG组和对照组的平均孕周分别为9周和11周。两组在鼓膜状态或其他耳鼻喉科评估方面未观察到差异。两组在任何频率的听力测试中均未观察到显著差异(所有p值>0.05)。
在听力测试方面,HG孕妇与正常孕妇之间没有差异。HG女性的耳蜗功能未受到显著影响。
