Introduction. Lyme borreliosis (LB) is endemic spirochetosis with a transmission mechanism, which is often marked by a durable, recurrent course with multiple organ damages. LB is characterized by the appearance of migrating erythema at the site of tick bite. Durable persistence of the agent promotes disease progressing and occurrence of serious complications related to the nervous system, the heart and the locomotive apparatus. Among infrequent and especially dangerous complications of LB is damage to the hearing apparatus with the development of sensorineural deafness – hearing loss, which develops within 24 hours due to function impairment of the internal ear or auditory nerve. That infectious diseases account for 12.8-13% of numerous causes of sensorineural deafness development. Most frequently, the disease caused by B. burgdorferi is mentioned. Aim. To analyze the clinical case of Lyme borreliosis complicated by the sensorineural hearing loss. Materials and methods. The analysis of clinical-laboratory and instrumental data of the patient with Lyme borreliosis, whose course of the disease was complicated by sensorineural hearing loss. The patient received care at Lviv Regional Infectious Diseases Clinical Hospital (LRIDCH). Results. The article presents a clinical case of Lyme borreliosis, complicated by sensorineural hearing loss, which appeared on the 15th day from the onset of erythema annulare in the patient. Hearing recovery in the patient could not be achieved via administration of etiotropic treatment (2.0 g/per day of ceftriaxone for 28 days), which was likely associated with late visit of the patient for medical aid. Conclusions. Sensorineural hearing loss is one of the rare, but severe lesions of auditory analyzer in LB. Hearing improvement after antibiotic therapy is possible in certain cases in early treatment.

Introduction: Surgical treatment of deafness by cochlear implants is used for more than 40 years, and during this period permanently, gradual and significant expansion of indications for this surgery has been observed. Material and methods: In our Department in the years 1994-2018 1480 cochlear implantations were performed, both in adults (647) and in children (883). In this study current indications and the rules for eligibility of patients based on 25 years of experience are presented. Results: Indications for cochlear implantation in adults are: 1) bilateral postlingual deafness, 2) bilateral sensorineural hearing loss - in pure tone audiometry > 70 dB HL (average 500-4000 Hz) and in speech audiometry in hearing aids understanding < 50% of words for the intensity of the stimulus 65 dB, in the absence of the benefits of hearing aids, 3) bilateral profound hearing loss for high frequency with good hearing for low frequency, in the absence of the benefits of hearing aids, 4) some cases of asymmetric hearing loss with intensive tinnitus in the deaf ear. An indication in children is bilateral sensorineural hearing loss > 80dB HL confirmed by hearing tests, after about 6 months of rehabilitation with the use of hearing aids. Discussion: Although cochlear implantation is used for more than 40 years, the indications for this treatment underlies constant modifications. They concern the age of eligible patients, implantation in patients with partially preserved hearing, as well as treatment for patients with difficult anatomical conditions. In many countries, bilateral implantations are commonly performed, and more and more centers recommend this treatment in the case of unilateral deafness or asymmetric hearing loss, especially with the accompanying tinnitus in the deaf ear.

An overview of contemporary studies on the issue of theory of mind in deaf children is presented in the article. The author analyses conditions of developmental delays revealed by deaf children raised in hearing families. This delay is not, however, a simple consequence of deafness per se, but rather a result of interaction of deafness influence, and contextual linguistic and cultural variables. Child’s participation in conversations carried out using sign language, regarding mental states and processes, both at home and in school, seems to be crucial for the natural course of the development of false belief understanding. Practical implication of cited conferrals comes down to the postulate of a signing model in the development of a child brought up in a hearing family and the common bilingual education, based on the assumption that a deaf child must first master sign language, and then national language as a foreign one,because even in native signing families, ToM development in deaf children may be delayed if the child is educated in an oral education-oriented school.

Hearing impairment is the factor influencing individual experience and development. However, as it influences the identity development, it might also impact the temporal processes. The article analyses the three levels of psychological time in the context of contemporary research. The results are discussed in the frame of particularly crucial factors such as communication, language and culture. Temporal perspective is described in the context of world representation understood as a system of knowledge comprising an individual’s beliefs. This system, which plays a regulative role in making choices, building attitudes towards the real world and solving problems, develops as the individual gains experience. However, hearing-impaired adolescents concentrate on the present events more than their hearing peers.

This article summarizes current knowledge on the genetics and possible molecular mechanisms of human pathologies resulted from mutations within the genes encoding several myosin isoforms. Mutations within the genes encoding some myosin isoforms have been found to be responsible for blindness (myosins III and VIIA), deafness (myosins I, IIA, IIIA, VI, VIIA and XV) and familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (β cardiac myosin heavy chain and both the regulatory and essential light chains). Myosin III localizes predominantly to photoreceptor cells and is proved to be engaged in the vision process in Drosophila. In the inner ear, myosin I is postulated to play a role as an adaptive motor in the tip links of stereocilia of hair cells, myosin IIA seems to be responsible for stabilizing the contacts between adjacent inner ear hair cells, myosin VI plays a role as an intracellular motor transporting membrane structures within the hair cells while myosin VIIA most probably participates in forming links between neighbouring stereocilia and myosin XV probably stabilizes the stereocilia structure. About 30% of patients with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have mutations within the genes encoding the β cardiac myosin heavy chain and both light chains that are grouped within the regions of myosin head crucial for its functions. The alterations lead to the destabilization of sarcomeres and to a decrease of the myosin ATPase activity and its ability to move actin filaments.

Introduction: Although it is recommended to perform cochlear implantation in both ears at the same time for management of profound hearing loss in children, many centers prefer to perform sequential implantation. There are many reasons as to why a simultaneous bilateral implantation is not commonly accepted and performed. The major risk is the possibility of bilateral vestibular organ impairment. However, it is beyond doubt that children who received the first implant should be given a chance for binaural hearing and associated benefits. In the literature, there are no homogenous criteria for bilateral implantation, and it is hard to find uniform and convincing algorithms for second cochlear implantation. The aim of this study is an attempt to identify a safe way of qualifying for second cochlear implantation in children. Material and methods: Forty children with one cochlear implant were qualified for the second implantation. During qualification, the following were taken into account: time of the first implantation, audiometry results, use of the hearing aid in the ear without an implant and benefit of the device, speech and hearing development, and vestibular organ function. R esults: Fifteen out of forty children (38%) were qualified for the second implantation. In 35% of children, the decision was delayed with possible second implantation in the future. Eleven children (27%) were disqualified from the second surgery. Discussion: During evaluation according to the protocol presented in our study, 38% of children with a single cochlear implant were qualified for the second implantation with a chance for an optimal development and effective use of the second cochlear implant. We are convinced that sequential implantation with a short interval between surgeries and with an examination of the vestibular organ, hearing and speech development as well as an assessment of potential benefits from the second implant (bimodal stimulation) before the second implantation is the safest and most beneficial solution for children with severe hearing loss.

The aim of the following article was to investigate the attitudes towards different aspects of deafness among hearing parents of children with hearing impairment. It was hypothesized that the valence of the attitude correlates with various factors, for instance: parents’ level of education, child’s age and number of other people with hearing loss known by the parents. For the purpose of this research, a 32-item scale, based on the theory of dualistic models of attitudes was created. Positive attitudes were associated with preference for sociocultural perspective on deafness, including respect for child’s preferred communication method, acceptance for sign language, perceiving people with hearing loss as able-bodied. Contrarily, negative perspective was related to the medical perspective on deafness, which includes insisting on curing deafness and treating it as a disability which requires supportive solutions e.g. hearing aids or cochlear implants. Neither of the two models appeared dominant. Further analyses were addressed to explore parents’ knowledge and beliefs about hearing impairment.

The aim of the article is to analyse the aesthetic aspects of the reception and creation of art by people with hearing impairments. For most people, hearing loss is unimaginable and is often understood only in the context of communication problems. Meanwhile, deaf people perceive their otherness completely differently. Deafness is a total experience, affecting not only the physical aspect, but also changing the perception of reality as a whole. Divergences in the way of perceiving the world, resulting from the exclusion of one of the basic senses, are particularly visible in the field of art, especially in those areas that use sound effects. The large variety of types of deafness does not allow for broad generalizations or building some kind of universal theory of reception. Therefore, from the perspective of deaf people, contact with art is very individual and intimate, which also affects the issue of their artistic creation. The author of the article touches upon the problem of the visuality of sign language and its artistic possibilities. She analyses the perception preferences of people with hearing impairments, exposing the issue of polysensory perception, and presents the most interesting artistic projects created both by the deaf and those that allow to build multidirectional relations between the parallel worlds of the deaf and hearing people.

The publication presents the latest trends in indications for cochlear implantation in children. The principles of early detection of hearing loss in children as well as the detailed methodology and tools for diagnosis of a child before cochlear implant were discussed. Based on a review of publications from recent years, reference was made to the latest trends in implantation, taking into account: electroacoustic stimulation, electronatural stimulation, unilateral deafness, asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss, early implantation in children under 12 months of age and indications for brainstem implants in children with inner ear malformations . The significance of residual hearing in patients with cochlear implants as well as the use of appropriate electrodes for a specific clinical situation were also discussed. These factors may influence future development of speech and hearing.

This paper considers how Frances Itani’s Deafening imaginatively rethinks our understanding of the Great War in the age of postmemory. Seeing as the novel is set in Canada and Europe during the First World War and takes as its protagonist a deaf woman, the poetic attention given to the senses as a horizon of phenomenological experience magnifies the moral bonds that the characters establish in defi ance of both deafness and death. Guided by the theoretical reasoning of Marianne Hirsch, Elaine Scarry, and Alison Landsberg as well as contemporary phenomenological thinking, most significantly that of Edward S. Casey, Steven Connor, Michel Serres, and Jean-Luc Nancy, this paper examines how the novel’s attentiveness to the materiality of the body in regard to the ethical collisions of sound and silence as well as life and death contributes to a poetics of resonance that generates prosthetic memories, turning the anonymous record of war into a private experience of moral endurance inscribed on the ear of historical legacy.

Cerebellopontine angle tumors represent 6 to 10% of all proliferative lesions in the central nervous system. The most frequently encountered in this area are acoustic neuromas (80–90%), cholesteatoma (6%) and meningiomas (6%). Neuromas usually occur in women between the ages of 50–60 years. In 95% of cases these tumors are unilateral. Cerebellopontine angle tumors in the pediatric population are rare, and their occurrence is closely linked to genetically determined neurofibromatosis type 2, whose prevalence is 1/40000–50000. More than 95% of them are diagnosed with Schwannomas. We present the case of a 5-year-old boy, diagnosed in the our Department of Otolaryngology due to progressive unilateral hearing loss. In the pediatric and neurological examination, there were no significant deviations from the normal condition. The patient was otolaryngologically examined and had audiological diagnostics. We diagnosed deafness of the left ear, both in the subjective and objective studies. MRI examination revealed the presence of a solid tumor of 20 mm diameter in the left cerebellopontine angle, probably an acoustic neuroma. Cerebellopontine angle tumors in children are very uncommon and despite the lack of signs of neurofibromatosis type 2, they require precise genetic diagnosis.

Guzy kąta mostowo-móżdżkowego stanowią około 6–10% zmian rozrostowych w obrębie ośrodkowego układu nerwowego. Najczęściej spotyka się w tej okolicy nerwiaki nerwu słuchowego (ok. 80–90%), perlaki (ok. 6%) oraz oponiaki (ok. 6%). Nerwiaki w większości rozwijają się u kobiet, średnio w wieku 50–60 lat. Zwykle (w 95% przypadków) są to guzy nabyte, jednostronne. Guzy kąta w populacji dziecięcej są stosunkowo rzadkie, a ich występowanie jest nierozerwalnie związane z uwarunkowaną genetycznie neurofibromatozą typu 2, która dotyka 1 na 40–50 tys. ludzi, a u ponad 95% chorych diagnozuje się nerwiaki nerwu VIII. Najbardziej charakterystycznym objawem jest powstanie obustronnych nerwiaków nerwu przedsionkowo-ślimakowego. Omówiono przypadek 5-letniego chłopca diagnozowanego w Klinice Otolaryngologii Instytutu Centrum Zdrowia Matki Polki z powodu postępującego niedosłuchu w wywiadzie. W badaniu pediatrycznym i neurologicznym nie stwierdzono istotnych odchyleń od stanu prawidłowego, natomiast badanie otolaryngologiczne z nasofiberoskopią oraz diagnostyka audiologiczna wykazały głuchotę ucha lewego, zarówno w badaniach subiektywnych, jak i obiektywnych. Badanie rezonansu magnetycznego uwidoczniło obecność litego guza o średnicy 20 mm w lewym kącie mostowo-móżkowym, prawdopodobnie o typie nerwiaka nerwu VIII. Guz okolicy kąta mostowo-móżdżkowego u 5-letniego chłopca stanowi wyjątkową rzadkość i mimo braku objawów neurofibromatozy typu 2, zarówno w badaniu podmiotowym, jak i w badaniach dodatkowych, wymaga przeprowadzenia dokładnej diagnostyki genetycznej.

Osoby niedosłyszące bardzo często borykają się z problemem nieodpowiednio dobranego aparatu słuchowego. Najczęstszym problemem wśród osób noszących pomoce słuchowe jest niewłaściwe rozumienie mowy w różnych warunkach akustycznych. Obecnie aparaty ustawiane są za pomocą specjalistycznych programów i urządzeń na podstawie subiektywnych odczuć pacjenta. Przedstawiona w niniejszym artykule metoda dopasowania aparatów słuchowych przy użyciu systemu SpeechPro i urządzenia Avant REM Speech+ pozwala na obiektywne dopasowanie aparatu słuchowego każdej osobie niedosłyszącej bez jej czynnego udziału. Wyniki i dyskusja: Urządzenie Avant REM Speech+ całkowicie spełnia swoje zadanie – dopasowuje aparat słuchowy do danego ubytku słuchu bez ingerencji protetyka słuchu oraz subiektywnych odczuć pacjenta. Ustalenie natężenia dźwięku na zewnątrz i wewnątrz ucha pacjenta pozwala protetykowi słuchu dobrać rzeczywiste wzmocnienie niezbędne do danego niedosłuchu. Urządzenie jest bardzo dokładne, zakres błędu wynosi ±/1 dB. Wykres audiogramu oraz charakterystyka dopasowania są zbliżone do siebie, co odpowiada bardzo dokładnemu uzyskaniu skutecznego dopasowania aparatu słuchowego.

Background: According to current estimates, Polish population of totally deaf and deaf-mute persons reaches 45-50 000 and that of partially deaf people – about 800-900 000. Various mental disorders may occur in such a vast group of people. Several reports suggest that impairment of hearing may predispose to the development of mental disorders. One of the signs most frequently described in these patients (even in those, who do not present any other psychotic symptoms) are auditory or musical hallucinations. The aim of this paper was to assess the prevalence of total and partial deafness in patients hospitalized because of mental disorders and to describe their symptoms, with particular emphasis on auditory hallucinations. The present study is a preliminary one. Material and method: Analysis of medical records of patients treated at the J. Babiński Mental Hospital in Łódź, Poland, since 1998 thru 2004. Results: In this timespan, 10 patients with coexisting total (n=6) and partial (n=4) deafness have been treated at the Psychiatric Department of our hospital. Paranoid schizophrenia was diagnosed in 2 patients, depressive epizode in 2 and single cases of the following mental conditions: organic catatonic disorder, organic personality disorder, delusional disorder, behavioral-emotional disorder, adaptation disorder and mental retardation coexisting with alcohol abuse. Results obtained were discussed with a reference to statistical data provided in the literature. Pattern of mental disorders developing in these patients was presented and compared with reports encountered in the literature. Conclusions: The number of patients with coexisting hearing impairment and mental disorders was surprisingly small, precluding any far-reaching conclusions. Nevertheless, it is possible that most of these patients do not receive hospital psychiatric care, or do not receive psychiatric care at all. Further studies are required to confirm this thesis.

Wstęp: Szacuje się, iż w Polsce żyje obecnie 45-50 tys. osób głuchych i głuchoniemych oraz 800-900 tys. osób słabo słyszących. U tych osób występują różnorodne zaburzenia psychiczne. Ponadto istnieją też doniesienia, że głuchota i niedosłuch mogą być czynnikami predysponującymi do wystąpienia pewnych zaburzeń psychicznych. Jednym z najczęściej opisywanych objawów występujących u tych pacjentów (także tych, u których nie stwierdza się żadnych innych zaburzeń psychotycznych) są halucynacje słuchowe, w tym muzyczne. Celem pracy było stwierdzenie częstości występowania głuchoty i niedosłuchu u pacjentów hospitalizowanych z powodu zaburzeń psychicznych oraz opisanie ich objawów, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem omamów słuchowych. Praca ma charakter wstępny. Materiał i metoda: Analizowano historie chorób pacjentów Szpitala im. J. Babińskiego w Łodzi, hospitalizowanych w latach 1998-2004. Wyniki: W rozpatrywanym przedziale czasowym na oddziale psychiatrycznym przebywało 10 pacjentów ze współistniejącym niedosłuchem (6 osób) lub głuchotą (4 osoby). Spośród tych osób schizofrenię paranoidalną rozpoznano w 2 przypadkach, epizod depresyjny - u 2 osób. U pojedynczych osób rozpoznano: organiczne zaburzenia katatoniczne, organiczne zaburzenie osobowości, zaburzenie omamowo-urojeniowe, zaburzenie zachowania i emocji, zaburzenie adaptacyjne i upośledzenie umysłowe z alkoholizmem. Otrzymane wyniki przedyskutowano w odniesieniu do danych statystycznych opisywanych w literaturze. Przedstawiony został również obraz kliniczny występujących u tych pacjentów zaburzeń i porównany z doniesieniami zawartymi w literaturze. Wnioski: Liczba osób ze współistnieniem badanych zaburzeń była zaskakująco mała, co uniemożliwia wyciągnięcie daleko idących wniosków, a pozwala jedynie przypuszczać, że większość tych pacjentów nie jest objęta opieką stacjonarną lub nie jest objęta opieką psychiatryczną w ogóle. Wymaga to jednak potwierdzenia dalszymi badaniami.
