C\u00f3mo evaluar los ac\u00fafenos en pacientes<\/h4>\n

Una evaluaci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica de los ac\u00fafenos tras una evaluaci\u00f3n auditiva inicial consta de mediciones subjetivas, objetivas y cuestionarios psicoanal\u00edticos que tienen como finalidad cuantificar los s\u00edntomas de los ac\u00fafenos y proporcionar informaci\u00f3n sobre el impacto de estos s\u00edntomas en la calidad de vida del paciente que los padece. Este paso tambi\u00e9n ayuda a los audi\u00f3logos a clasificar los ac\u00fafenos: subjetivos frente a objetivos (puls\u00e1tiles), primarios frente a secundarios, agudos frente a cr\u00f3nicos y molestos frente a no molestos.<\/p>\n

Los ac\u00fafenos suelen asociarse a condiciones auditivas, como por ejemplo la p\u00e9rdida auditiva y la hiperacusia, pero tambi\u00e9n a condiciones no auditivas, entre las que se incluyen el estr\u00e9s, la ansiedad, la depresi\u00f3n y el insomnio.<\/p>\n

1. Medici\u00f3n subjetiva: cuestionarios sobre ac\u00fafenos<\/h4>\n

Un protocolo de evaluaci\u00f3n de ac\u00fafenos incluye herramientas y cuestionarios \u00fatiles para evaluar la reacci\u00f3n a los ac\u00fafenos y elsufrimiento que estos causan en el paciente. Tres herramientas usadas en la evaluaci\u00f3n de los ac\u00fafenos subjetivos son el\u00a0test de incapacidad de los ac\u00fafenos (Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, o THI por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s)<\/a>\u00a0y el\u00a0\u00edndice funcional de ac\u00fafenos (o TFI por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s)<\/a>, que eval\u00faan y sit\u00faan en una escala la gravedad y el impacto negativo del ac\u00fafeno en el paciente1<\/sup>, y la\u00a0Encuesta de ac\u00fafenos y audici\u00f3n (THS, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s)<\/a>, una herramienta para diferenciar problemas auditivos potenciales derivados de los ac\u00fafenos.2 <\/sup>Adem\u00e1s, estas herramientas de evaluaci\u00f3n de ac\u00fafenos se utilizan para medir el progreso del tratamiento de losac\u00fafenos y los resultados del mismo.<\/p>\n"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"testimonial","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","testimonial_full_width_landing":{"module_options":{"":null,"module_id":"n68b6dc8081b81","module_class":"","module_background_type":"color","module_background_color":"","module_background_image":false,"module_background_video":"","activate_custom_padding":false,"padding_top_desktop":0,"padding_top_tablet":"","padding_top_mobile":"","padding_bottom_desktop":"","padding_bottom_tablet":"","padding_bottom_mobile":"","activate_custom_margin":false,"margin_top_desktop":"","margin_top_tablet":"","margin_top_mobile":"","margin_bottom_desktop":"","margin_bottom_tablet":"","margin_bottom_mobile":"","disable_on":[],"content_alignment_desktop":"left","content_alignment_tablet":"left","content_alignment_mobile":"left"},"inner_background":"#7288c4","icon_color":"","testimonial":"La Encuesta de ac\u00fafenos y audici\u00f3n es una excelente herramienta cl\u00ednica empleada para identificar a aquellos pacientes que atribuyen sus dificultades en la comunicaci\u00f3n a sus ac\u00fafenos en lugar de a su d\u00e9ficit auditivo.","name":"Dany Pineault, AuD","title":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"simple_content","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","content_full_width_landing":{"module_options":{"":null,"module_id":"n68b6dc808c093","module_class":"","module_background_type":"color","module_background_color":"","module_background_image":false,"module_background_video":"","activate_custom_padding":false,"padding_top_desktop":0,"padding_top_tablet":"","padding_top_mobile":"","padding_bottom_desktop":"","padding_bottom_tablet":"","padding_bottom_mobile":"","activate_custom_margin":false,"margin_top_desktop":"","margin_top_tablet":"","margin_top_mobile":"","margin_bottom_desktop":"","margin_bottom_tablet":"","margin_bottom_mobile":"","disable_on":[],"content_alignment_desktop":"left","content_alignment_tablet":"left","content_alignment_mobile":"left"},"activate_custom_container_width":false,"container_width":"","content":"

2. Medici\u00f3n objetiva: evaluaci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica de los ac\u00fafenos<\/h4>\n

Un segundo paso en la audiolog\u00eda de evaluaci\u00f3n de los ac\u00fafenos es definir mejor los atributos auditivos de los pacientes que padecen un ac\u00fafeno en t\u00e9rminos del tono percibido, intensidad y nivel de enmascaramiento con sonidos externos. Las mediciones psicoac\u00fasticas de estos indicadores claves abarcan procedimientos para identificar y definir el tono y el volumen del ac\u00fafeno por parte del paciente, pruebas de nivel de enmascaramiento m\u00ednimo y pruebas de inhibici\u00f3n residual (supresi\u00f3n temporal del ac\u00fafeno). Los procedimientos de identificaci\u00f3n y definici\u00f3n del tono y el volumen del ac\u00fafeno son vitales para prescribir la amplificaci\u00f3n para estos pacientes ya que los estudios han demostrado que los beneficios de los aud\u00edfonos para los pacientes que padecen ac\u00fafenos son mayores cuando sus atributos psicoac\u00fasticos se encuentran dentro del ancho de banda de frecuencia del aud\u00edfono3,4<\/sup><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Tener en cuenta la salud mental: cuestionarios psicoanal\u00edticos<\/h4>\n

Los cuestionarios psicoanal\u00edticos son el \u00faltimo paso en la evaluaci\u00f3n de un ac\u00fafeno y le ayudan a identificar cualquier sufrimiento emocional que los s\u00edntomas del ac\u00fafeno causen al paciente. Algunos de los problemas de salud mental m\u00e1s habituales asociados a los ac\u00fafenos molestos son depresi\u00f3n, trastornos de ansiedad, trastornos del sue\u00f1o y trastorno por estr\u00e9s postraum\u00e1tico.<\/p>\n

El\u00a0Inventario de Depresi\u00f3n de Beck<\/a>, la\u00a0Escala de Ansiedad Estado-Rasgo (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory o STAI, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) de Spielberger<\/a>\u00a0y el\u00a0Primary Care PTSD Screen (o PC-PTSD, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s)<\/a> son herramientas cl\u00ednicas que incluyen instrucciones de puntuaci\u00f3n f\u00e1ciles y r\u00e1pidas para medir cualquier reacci\u00f3n negativa a los s\u00edntomas. Entender mejor cu\u00e1l es el bienestar psicol\u00f3gico de un paciente que padece ac\u00fafenos es crucial para desarrollar la estrategia adecuada para combatirlos y mejorar la calidad de vida de su paciente. El valor terap\u00e9utico que aporta el asesoramiento a los pacientes con ac\u00fafenos est\u00e1 ampliamente demostrado y es uno de los componentes m\u00e1s importantes de todas las intervenciones audiol\u00f3gicas.5,6<\/sub><\/sup><\/p>\n
