Abstract

Hypertension is an important health problem because it has a high prevalence and can cause damage to target organs. The relationship between hypertension and hearing loss is not difficult to understand, when blood pressure becomes high blood vessel damage occurs. Hearing loss cases caused by hypertension are considerable, in America 64 million people aged 18 to 75 years suffer from hypertension, 40% with hearing loss. This damage is not centered on one area of the body, but the whole body is also affected, including the ears. The incidence of hearing loss in hypertension is due to the occurrence of inner ear damage due to high pressure in the vascular system, changes in microcirculation and the occurrence of ionic changes.

Abstract

Keratosis obturans is a large accumulation of plaque from desquamated keratin distributed in the ear. The etiology of keratosis obturans remains unclear. Keratosis obturans generally occurs in young patients between the ages of 5-20 years and can attack one or both ears. Patients suffering from keratosis obturans and have a history of bronchiectasis or sinusitis reported 77% of adolescent cases, only 20% of adult cases. The diagnosis of keratosis obturance is made on the basis of anamnesis and clinical examination, while CT scan is performed to determine whether or not bone erosion is present. This disease can be controlled by performing clearance of the ear canal periodically every one to three months to reduce debris accumulation. Ear dropping of mixtures of alcohol or glycerin in 3% peroxide, three times a week can often be helpful.
