Item Audiological tinnitus management: an essential audiological protocol for elderly patients with comorbidity of hypertension and tinnitus(IntechOpen, London, United Kingdom, 2019) Osisanya, A.Elderly population with comorbidity of hypertension and tinnitus is increasing across the world, and the dilemma in the management of such elderly patients across the neurology and audiology/otology clinics seems enormous due to the attendant effects of such health-related comorbid conditions and ageing. This has been observed to have negative effect on the general well-being of quite a number of the elderly patients identified with the comorbid health conditions. It has also increased the tinnitus severity and related psychosocial reactions of the elderly patients. Worse still, the situation causes undulating increase in the prevalence of the comorbid condition of advanced age both male and female irrespective of cultural differences. Due to the aforementioned, this chapter is written with the aim of highlighting the efficacy of audiological tinnitus management options considered essential in the rehabilitation of individuals with comorbidity of hypertension and tinnitus. The chapter also discusses the benefits of combined therapies in rehabilitating elderly patients with comorbidity of hypertension and tinnitus and concluded with some useful recommendations for effective management of the comorbid condition.Item Therapeutic considerations for individuals with communication difficulties and co-morbid challenges(Department of Special Education, Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2019) Osisanya, A.The comorbidity nature of communication difficulties and associated developmental challenges often times impair the overall functional ability and quality of life, learning and psycho-social behaviours, and health stability of those with the conditions, especially the children. With the attendant effect of those comorbid challenges, children would experience delayed language development, reduced vocabulary, poor clarity of speech, poor word recall, difficulty forming sentences, poor understanding of spoken speech, difficulty following instructions, poor empathy, poor ability to express needs/feelings, literal understanding/speech, repetitive speech, swallowing problems, poor listening skills and poor copying/imitation skills. Therefore, the management of such communication difficulties and associated developmental challenges in children is a complex task requiring professional competence and expertise, experience, a blend of therapeutic options and multidisciplinary team-work approach. It is against this background that this paper highlighted the benefits of different therapeutic options for both children and adults with comorbidity of communication difficulties and developmental challenges. The need for multidisciplinary team-work services in rehabilitating the conditions has also been emphasized. The paper concluded by advocating cooperative efforts of the allied professionals and combined therapeutic options towards rehabilitating comorbid communication and developmental challenges.Item Audiological tinnitus management: an essential audiological protocol for elderly patients with comorbidity of hypertension and tinnitus(IntechOpen, London, United Kingdom, 2019) Osisanya, A.Elderly population with comorbidity of hypertension and tinnitus is increasing across the world, and the dilemma in the management of such elderly patients across the neurology and audiology/otology clinics seems enormous due to the attendant effects of such health-related comorbid conditions and ageing.

O.Ototoxicity caused by injectable aminoglycosides are capable of causing cochleotoxicity which is characterised as death of auditory hair cells (hearing loss) and vestibuiotoxicity manifesting as balance disorders. Ototoxicity is always as a result of insidious effects of aminoglycosides on auditory system, with a kind of irreversible (permanent) hearing loss which is common among individuals being treated for Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (DRTB). Therefore, this study examined the effect of injectable aminoglycosides on the auditory performance of patients with DRTB in Osun state. Twenty (20) DRTB patients comprising of 14 males and 6 females were purposively selected to participate in this ex post facto research. Instruments used include Otoscope to diagnose infection of the middle ear and outer parts of the ear, Maico ST 20 portable diagnostic audiometer to determine the hearing threshold of the participants, and audiograms to record the test results. Baseline audiometry revealed that 35% of the participants had mild hearing loss before commencement of treatment with injectable aminoglycosides, while 70% of the participants had severe to profound hearing loss after completion of injectable aminoglycosides. 65% of the participants had tinnitus in addition to hearing loss, while 55% had high frequency loss only. Therefore, health workers should ensure that people with DRTB are well educated about the side effects of injectable aminoglycosides and be encouraged to access audiologic follow up and rehabilitation, while alternative injectable drugs with reduced or milder side effects are employed for treatment of Drug Resistant Tuberculosis.Item The psycho-social adjustment difficulties of students with hearing impairment school setting in Oyo State, Nigeria(2000-09) Osisanya, A.This study was designed to examine the effects of mainstreaming on the psycho- social adjustment difficulties of students with hearing impairment in integrated school settings. It also assessed the effects of hearing-impairment on the social and emotional adjustment difficulties of the affected students. The main instruments used for the study were two sets of questionnaires. Four research questions were raised and tested statistically. The sample consisted of 60 students with hearing impairment and 60 teachers from four integrated schools in Oyo Slate. The findings reveals that the students with hearing impairment attending integrated schools manifested higher adjustment difficulties than their normal hearing peers. The study also reveal that the students isolated themselves from the social and emotional demands as a result of their communication difficulties and ineffective interaction strategies.Item Evidence-based interventions of dichotic listening training, compensatory strategies and combined therapies in managing pupils with auditory processing disorders(Taylor and Francis, 2017) Osisanya, A.; Adewunmi, A.The need to develop a measure of managing children with a single profile of auditory processing disorders (APDs), and differentiate between true and artefactual improvements necessitated the study. The study also sought to determine the efficacy of interventions – both single and combined on APD, against no-treatment. Design: A randomised controlled trial of interventions (RCT) was adopted. Participants were randomly allocated to each of the intervention groups or the no intervention group. The 10 weeks intervention included 45 minutes three times a week therapeutic intervention on listening with noise and sound localisation ability in the home and school environments. Study sample: 80 pupils (7–11 years) with a single profile of APD participated in the study. Results: Treatments were effective on the cocktail party and sound localisation. The best result was realised with the combined therapy (CT), and there was no significant difference in performance in the remaining treatment groups. Conclusion: The intervention groups were beneficial to pupils with APD and should be adopted by clinicians.Item Effects of auditory integrationtraining and acoupedic therapy on word recognition of children with hearing impairment(2017) Osisanya, A.; Adeniyi, S. O.; Olubukola, F. O.This study examined the effectiveness of auditory integration training and acoupedic therapy on word recognition among children with hearing impairment. Thirty three children between five and ten years old participated in this study. All the participants had Pre-Lingual and Post-Lingual hearing impairment with degree of hearing loss ranging from mild, moderate, severe to profound. All the children had their hearing loss confirmed through audiometric test and they were fitted with hearing aids. The instruments used consisted of Macro 53 brand of audiometer calibrated on ISO-13485:2008, word recognition test adapted from Betts (1946) with reliability of 0.89 for pre and post tests and case history of the participants. Data collected were coded and analysed using Analysis of Co-variance using SPSS version 17. The results revealed that Auditory Integration Training and Acoupedic therapy had significant effects on word recognition among the participants and that Auditory Integration Training was more effective on word recognition among children with hearing impairment. Also, there were significant main effects of degree and onset of hearing loss on participants’ word recognition. It was recommended that early intervention in the form of Auditory Integration Training and Acoupedic Therapy should be adopted.
