Kurang Pendengaran Sensorineurai pada Lansia dengan dan Tanpa Hipertensi Sensorineurai hearing loss in elderly with and with out hypertension
Background: Sensorineurai hearing 1055 (SNHL) was a decrease in hearing acuity caused by lesions in the cochlea and/or cochlear nerve. The prevalence hearing 1055 in elderly increased due to manyfactors including disturbance of circulation. The aimed of the study was to analysis the differences of SNHL incidence in elderly with and without hypertension.
Methods : Cross sectional study of 90 elderly patients in Geriatric Clinic of Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang was conducted in March 2011. Data was taken from the anamnesis and medical records. Blood pressure measurements were taken, followed by ENT physical examination and pure tone audiometry. Differences of SNHL incidence measured by x2 test and prevalence ratio.
Results: Ninety respondents consisted of 45 SNHL (+) and 45 SNHL (-) were enrolled. Fifty five and 35 respondents were hypertension and normotension respectively. There were significant differences of SNHL incidence between hypertension and normotension (p=0.005) with a prevalence ratio of 1.96. There were no significant differences of duration and degree of hypertension on the SNHL (p= 0.86).
Conclusion : There was significant differences of SNHL incidence between hypertension and normotension. Hypertension had a greater risk for SNHL than normotension, but the duration and degree of hypertension had no effect on SNHL incidence.
