Abstract

Background: Hearing loss is often not addressed by the patient. Patients underwent pure tone audiometry test before the Intra-arterial Heparin Flushing (IAHF) procedure, and some patients had hearing loss.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to find out how patients describe their hearing loss before the IAHF procedure at Gatot Subroto Central Army Hospital.

Methods: The study was a cross-sectional descriptive study from November 2021 to May 2022 on 220 patients subjected to pure tone audiometry tests before the IAHF procedure at Gatot Subroto Central Army Hospital. Patient characteristics were recorded, and audiometric results were grouped based on the information provided which are the type and degree of hearing loss.

Results: Pure tone audiometry results for patients before the IAHF were 37.7% normal and 62.3% abnormal (with hearing loss). Based on the hearing loss type, there were 50.4% sensorineural type, 29.9% conductive type, and 19.7% mixed type. There were mild (55.5%), moderate (29.2%), moderate-severe (8.0%), severe (6.6%), and very severe (0.7%) based on hearing loss degree.

Conclusion: This study found that most patients are unaware of their hearing loss because it is modest and generally sensorineural. Attention is required for the early detection of hearing loss.
