Abstract

Background: A rescue treatment is needed in cases of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL)which fail to obtain complete hearing restoration after conservative steroid therapy. In order to acquirebetter access of steroid to the cochlea, sealing the round window with a sponge soaked in steroid couldbe considered as an alternative delivery strategy. Purpose: To review the evidence about the impact ofround window sealing in SSNHL patients whose hearing failed to recover completely after treated withsystemic and/or intratympanic steroid. Cases: Seven patients with SSNHL, who had experienced either noor slight response to previous systemic and/or intratympanic steroid administration, underwent transcanalround window sealing with steroid-soaked sponge. Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) results and symptoms(hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo) were compared pre- and post-operatively. Five patients reported betterhearing and tinnitus symptom. Method: A scoping review was made by conducting literature searchingat Cochrane, Pubmed, and Google Scholar using keywords “sudden sensorineural hearing loss”, AND“round window sealing”, and their relevant synonymous terms, employing Boolean operators. Result: Atotal of 8 observational studies with 430 subjects met the inclusion criteria. Time measurement of hearingimprovement range from 6 days until 1 year. Most of the studies agreed that the procedure of sealingthe round window had a positive impact on hearing improvement. Conclusion: This study revealed thatround window sealing with steroid-soaked sponged could be considered as an alternative approach forpatients with SSNHL who failed in conservative therapy.   Keywords: “round window sealing; sudden sensorineural hearing loss; transtympanic steroid”

Abstract

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the acceptance among Posyandu cadres of the Littlears application, which is designed to identify hearing impairments in children early on. Method: The LittlEars Questionnaire, designed to identify hearing impairment in children, has evolved into the LittlEars application with the objective of early detection of hearing loss. The evaluation of system usability within the framework of the USE Questionnaire involves four key elements: usability, user-friendliness, learnability, and user satisfaction, and is assessed through 35 specific questions. Result: The usability assessment of the LittlEars application through the USE questionnaire revealed that its usefulness stands at 95.4%, its ease of use at 93.5%, its ease of learning at 92.8%, and satisfaction levels at 94.6%. The average for all dimensions combined is 9.07%. Conclusion: The LittlEars application can be accepted by users, especially Posyandu cadres, and is an application that is easy to use in detecting hearing loss in children.
