Abstract

Hearing loss or deafness is the partial or complete inability to hear sounds in one or both ears. Hearing loss can occur at any age. The most common cause of hearing loss in the elderly is presbycusis.1 Presbycusis or known as age related hearing loss (ARHL) is a loss of hearing ability that occurs slowly with age. The method used is literature review with Narrative Review design. The results obtained in this literature are that there are 10 articles obtained with restrictions from 2020 - 2024 and in-depth analysis of the strengths and limitations of each article on the characteristics of presbyacusis has been carried out. 10 articles that discuss the characteristics of presbyacusis, 8 articles mention the characteristics of presbyacusis based on age, 8 articles mention the characteristics of presbyacusis based on gender. Based on the results of the identification and review of several in this literature review, it can be concluded that there are several characteristics of presbyacusis including age, gender and history of chronic disease. Early recognition of the diagnosis of presbyacusis is very important, because if left untreated it can have serious consequences on mental health, cognitive, and even physical health.

Abstract

Herpes zoster oticus (HZO) is an infectious disease characterized by an erythematous vesicular eruption or rash on the pinna and external auditory canal along with severe otalgia. Antiviral drugs are very effective in reducing the severity and duration of HZO when treatment is started within 72 hours of the onset of the rash. Objective: This retrospective study summarizes the knowledge of the relationship of antiviral therapy to the incidence of Herpes Zoster Oticus . Method: This article is a literature study or literature review. The literature was obtained by collecting and reviewing Narrative Review, Case Report, Journal Method articles that were downloaded using electronic based accredited/indexed by Scopus and Sinta. Results: In this literature, 20 research articles were obtained discussing herpes zoster oticus and in them discussing treatment using antivirals. Among them consisted of 8 Case reports, 6 Narrative Reviews, and 6 Journal Methods. Conclusion: Antiviral administration in the occurrence of Herpes Zoster Oticus Antiviral administration in cases of Herpes Zoster Oticus is still effective until now. Administration of antivirals as early as possible within 72 hours is effective in reducing the severity of Herpes zoster oticus . Early treatment can stop the invasion and replication of the Varicella zoster virus further into the cranial nerves so that the prognosis for healing nerve function is very good. The combination of Antivirals and corticosteroids is the standard treatment for Herpes zoster oticus which helps full recovery of facial paralysis and inhibits hearing loss. However, from this literature review it is known that the delay in treatment of hearing function experienced will continue.

Abstract

Background: Acute suppurative otitis media (ASOM) is a short-lived middle ear infection often triggered by Eustachian tube dysfunction. Swimming, especially in unsterile waters, can be a risk factor for ASOM due to the ingress of contaminated water or pressure changes that disrupt middle ear ventilation. Individuals with contralateral chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) are at higher risk due to pre-existing anatomical changes and decreased mucociliary defense. Case Report : A 36-year-old man, a physical education teacher, presented with severe pain in his right ear for one week, worsening the previous night, accompanied by otorrhea and hearing loss. The complaints arose after water entered the patient's ear while teaching swimming. Otoscopic examination revealed a 40–50% tympanic membrane perforation with hyperemia in the right ear, and a 20–30% perforation without hyperemia in the left ear. Tuning fork and audiometric examinations confirmed bilateral conductive hearing loss (mild in the right ear, moderate in the left ear). The patient was diagnosed with ASOM dextra and inactive chronic otitis media sinistra, then given therapy with Burow's tampon, oral ciprofloxacin, methylprednisolone, acetylcysteine, and education regarding the possibility of operative measures. Discussion : This case demonstrates a relationship between water exposure during swimming and the development of ASOM in a patient with contralateral CSOM. The underlying mechanisms involve Eustachian tube dysfunction, impaired middle ear ventilation, and bacterial colonization due to decreased mucociliary defense. The CSOM condition on one side can be a predisposing factor for acute infection on the other side through tube dysfunction and cross-colonization. Comprehensive management includes eradication of infection, control of inflammation, improvement of middle ear ventilation, and patient education to prevent complications such as permanent hearing loss. Conclusion : Swimming in unsterile waters can be a gateway for infection causing ASOM, especially in individuals with contralateral CSOM. Early and comprehensive treatment is crucial to prevent complications and preserve hearing function.
