Keman sanatçılarının sağ ve sol kulak işitmesinin odyolojik testlerle karşılaştırılması

Year 2022, Volume: 3 Issue: 4, 224 - 230, 01.12.2022

Abstract

Amaç: Yüksek şiddette müzik sesi üretebilen kemanın özellikle tutuş şeklinden dolayı sol kulağa yakınlığı sebebiyle daha fazla ses iletilmesi ve bu durumun odyolojik testlerle, sağ-sol kulak arasında anlamlı bir işitme farkı oluşturup oluşturmadığının tespit edilmesi, işitme kaybı var ise izlenmesi ve zamanında önlenebilmesine yönelik düzenlemelerin yapılabilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya, uzun yıllar boyunca keman çalan, konservatuar mezunu, profesyonel olarak müzikle ilgilenen dolayısıyla her gün çalışma ve egzersiz yaparak müzik/gürültü sesine maruz kalan, 18-55 yaş arası kadın ve erkek yetişkin keman sanatçısı bireyler ile müzikle ilgisi olmayan ve enstrüman çalmayan 25 kişiden oluşan kontrol grubu dahil edilmiştir. Çalışma grubu ve kontrol grubu tüm bireylere saf ses odyometri, yüksek frekans odyometri, otoakustik emisyon ve timpanometri testleri ile odyolojik değerlendirme yapılmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmamızda keman sanatçısı grubu ve kontrol gruplarında veriler cinsiyete göre, sağ ve sol kulağa göre ayrı ayrı karşılaştırılmıştır. Sol kulak Yüksek Frekans 9000 Hz (p= 0,001, p<0,01) ,10000 Hz (p= 0,018, p<0,05), 11200 Hz (p=0,006, p<0,01), 12500 Hz (p=0,002, p<0,01)), 14000 Hz (p=0,050, p<0,05) ve 16000 Hz (p=0,010, p<0,01) ölçümlerinde çalışma ve kontrol gruplarında anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Sol kulak Yüksek Frekans 9000 ,10000, 11200, 12500, 14000 ve 16000Hz ölçümlerinin tamamında çalışma grubunun ortalamasının kontrol grubunun ortalamalarından daha yüksek olduğu anlaşılmıştır.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda uzun yıllar ve uzun çalışma saatleri boyunca maruz kalınan keman sesine rağmen saf ses odyometri eşikleri beklenenden daha iyi sonuçlar vermiş, sağ ve sol kulak arasında işitme farklılığı izlenmemiştir. Sol kulak yüksek frekans işitme eşiklerinde sağ kulağa göre düşüşler gözlemlenmiştir. Cinsiyet, yaş grubu, enstrümana başlama yaşı ve aktif el değişkenlerine göre tinnitus varlığı karşılaştırmasında tüm değişkenlerde anlamlı farklılık tespit edilememesine karşılık sol kulak tinnitus şikayeti olduğunu ifade eden 3 keman sanatçısının aynı zamanda sol kulak yüksek frekans işitme eşiklerinde düşüş ile paralellik göstermiştir.

Violinists comparison of right and left ear hearing with audiological tests

Year 2022, Volume: 3 Issue: 4, 224 - 230, 01.12.2022

Abstract

Aim: The violin, which can produce high-intensity musical sounds, transmits more sound due to its proximity to the left ear, especially due to the way it is held, and to determine whether this situation creates a significant hearing difference between the right and left ear with audiological tests, and to monitor if there is hearing loss and to prevent it in a timely manner.
Materials and methods: In this study, playing violin for many years, a graduate of the Conservatory of music, professionally interested in music, by exercising and working out every day, hence the music/noise exposed to the adult male and female individuals between the ages of 18-55 violinists who play music with the instrument and a control group of 25 subjects that have nothing to do was included. Audiological evaluation was performed by pure sound audiometry, high frequency audiometry, auto acoustic emission and tympanometry tests on all individuals in the Working Group and control group.
Results: In our study, data in violinist group and control groups were compared separately according to gender, right and left ear. 9000 Hz high frequency in your left ear (p= 0.001, p<0.01) ,10000 Hz (p= 0,018, p<0.05), 11200 Hz (p=0,006, p<0.01), 12500 Hz (P=0.002, p<0.01)), 14000 Hz (p=0,050), p<0.05) and 16000 Hz (p=0,010, p<0.01) in the study and the control groups, there were significant differences in the measurements. In all left ear High Frequency 9000 ,10000, 11200, 12500, 14000 and 16000Hz measurements, it was understood that the Working Group's average was higher than the control group's average.
Conclusion: In our study, despite the violin sound exposed for many years and long working hours, pure sound audiometry thresholds gave better results than expected, and there was no difference in hearing between the right and left ear. Drops in left ear high frequency hearing thresholds compared to right ear have been observed. 3 violin artists who expressed a complaint of left ear tinnitus, in contrast to the inability to detect significant differences in all variables in comparing the presence of tinnitus according to gender, age group, age of instrument initiation, and active hand variables, also paralleled the decrease in left ear high frequency hearing thresholds.
