Hearing Loss, Sensorineural Clinical Trial
Official title:
CNS Infections Effect on the Inner Ear
Study on patients with CNS infections.
Aims and objectives:
The present proposal aims to improve the outcome from central nervous system infections (CNS)
by improving the understanding of when and why patients develop hearing loss and other
neurological sequelae. The investigators will elucidate the temporal development and
restitution of a sensorineural hearing loss and will clarify if any therapeutic window
exists, where sequelae can be limited.
Also the investigators will investigate if communication between cochlea and cerebrospinal
fluid is a window to the intracranial pressure.
Background:
CNS infections remain diseases with high mortality and morbidity. Among survivors from
bacterial meningitis, 30 % suffer hearing loss or deafness arising from injury to the inner
ear - the cochlea. From previous work it is known that brain inflammation, brain edema and
subsequent pressure changes can be transduced to the inner ear due to communication between
the cochlea and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
The viability of cochlear hair cells can evaluated by non-invasive measurement of otoacoustic
(OAE) emissions which are low-intensity sounds from the cochlea (OAE).
Methods and materials:
The investigators will perform repeated measurements of OAE and Wide Band tympanometry (WBT)
in all patients admitted with suspicion of a CNS infection. OAE and WBT will be compared to
intracranial pressure (ICP) measured during lumbar puncture as well as clinical-,
biochemical- and imaging data. An age-matched control group will be included. At discharge
and at follow-up patients will receive a neurological, vestibulare examination, cognitive
test and a regular hearing test.
Expected outcome and perspectives:
From repeated measures during a course of disease, the investigators will elucidate the
development of a hearing loss and clarify if any therapeutic window exists, where sequelae
can be limited. This is also an opportunity to assess OAE as a non-invasive measure of
intracranial pressure which is believed to be among the clinical complications responsible
for a poor outcome.
