Abstract

Šum u uhu ili tinitus predstavlja percepciju zvuka koji osoba moţe osjećati unutar glave ili uha, a nastaje iako ne postoji očiti vanjski podraţaj. Šum u uhu ne predstavlja bolest, već je simptom u čijoj se pozadini mogu nalaziti brojne bolesti i stanja, stoga zahtjeva pravovremeno prepoznavanje te detaljnu dijagnostičku obradu koja najčešće uključuje više specijalista različitih grana medicine. Terapija šuma u uhu uvelike ovisi o njegovoj etiologiji te je sukladno s time manje ili više učinkovita. Tinitus je najčešće posljedica oštećenja ili gubitka sluha, drugi najčešći uzrok nastanka šuma u uhu je prekomjerno izlaganje buci visokog intenziteta. Šum u uhu u stomatološkoj praksi najčešće se javlja kao posljedica dugotrajne izloţenosti buci na radnom mjestu, moţe se takoĎer javiti kao posljedica akutne akustične traume. U stomatološkoj praksi koja uključuje rad u ordinacijama dentalne medicine kao i rad u dentalnim laboratorijima razina intenziteta buke vrlo često prelazi granicu od 85 dB koja predstavlja najvišu dopuštenu izloţenost buci tijekom radnog dana ili tjedna na radnim mjestima na kojima je prisutna buka promjenjivog intenziteta. Iako postoji više različitih pristupa u terapiji tinitusa, potpuni nestanak simptoma često nije moguć. Prevencija nastanka oštećenja sluha i pojave šuma u uhu temelji se na primjeni osobnih zaštitnih sredstava za zaštitu sluha.

Abstract (english)

Ringing in ears or tinnitus represents the perception of sound that a person can feel inside the head or ears, and it is a sensation even though there are no obvious external stimuli. Tinnitus is not a disease, but a symptom in the background of which there could be numerous diseases and conditions, so it requires timely recognition and detailed diagnostic processing, which usually involves multiple specialists from different branches of medicine. The therapy of tinnitus depends largely on its etiology and is accordingly more or less effective. Tinnitus is most often the result of damaged hearing or hearing loss, the second most common cause of tinnitus is high intensity noise. Ringing in ears in dental practice most commonly occurs as a result of prolonged exposure to workplace noise, and may also occur as a result of acute acoustic trauma. In dental practice, which often involves working in dental practice as well as in dental laboratories, the noise intensity level very often exceeds the 85 dB limit, which is the maximum permissible noise exposure during a work day or week in workplaces with variable intensity noise. Although there are several different approaches to tinnitus therapy, complete disappearance of symptoms is often not possible. The prevention of hearing damage and ringing in ears is based on the use of personal hearing protection aids.
