Resumen
ANTECEDENTES: La hipoacusia es la disminución en la capacidad auditiva en uno o ambos oídos, y actualmente es el trastorno sensorial más frecuente. OBJETIVO: Determinar la utilidad de la audiometría de alta frecuencia como prueba en el adulto joven que refiere pérdida auditiva. METODOLOGIA: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, de corte transversal, que consideró muestra todos los pacientes que acudieron a la consulta de Otorrinolaringología con hipoacusia durante el periodo 2017 hasta 2021, con resultados de audiometría convencional normales. RESULTADOS: Se observó una relación directa entre la edad y la hipoacusia, con un mayor predominio del sexo femenino (135 pacientes). De los 200 pacientes de la muestra de estudio, 89 indicaron trabajar con exposición al ruido, cuya totalidad se concentra entre los 18 y 30 años. Se pudo determinar una diferencia significativa entre los resultados de la audiometría convencional y la AAF en los rangos de edad comprendidos entre los 18 y los 30 años, con una significancia bilateral del 0,043 en la prueba de diferencias de medias, lo que permite inferir que la AAF permite la identificación de la hipoacusia en pacientes con prueba convencional normal.
BACKGROUND: Hearing loss is the decrease in hearing capacity in one or both ears, and is currently the most common sensory disorder. OBJECTIVE: To determine the usefulness of high-frequency audiometry as a test in young adults who report hearing loss. METHODOLOGY: a descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study was carried out, which considered a sample of all the patients who attended the Otorhinolaryngology consultation with hearing loss during the period 2017 to 2021, with normal conventional audiometry results. RESULTS: A direct relationship between age and hearing loss was observed, with a greater predominance of females (135 patients). Of the 200 patients in the study sample, 89 reported working with exposure to noise, all of which is concentrated between 18 and 30 years of age. It was possible to determine a significant difference between the results of the conventional audiometry and the AAF in the age ranges between 18 and 30 years, with a bilateral significance of 0.043 in the mean difference test, which allows inferring that the AAF allows the identification of hearing loss in patients with a normal conventional test.
