Abstract

Background & Aim: Hearing evaluations for MEDICOLEGAL purposes are requested by organizations such as forensic medicine, military medical councils, insurance companies and employers for determining hearing disability. PSEUDOHYPACUSIS in MEDICOLEGAL population increases in order to gain compensation or advantages, such as length of treatment and exemption from combats or military service. There is no available study on PREVALENCE of PSEUDOHYPACUSIS in MEDICOLEGAL compensation claims in Iran. The aim of this study was determining frequency of PSEUDOHYPACUSIS in individuals referred by Tehran MEDICOLEGAL center to audiology clinic of Loghman-e-Hakim hospital in Tehran in 2005-2006 (from 5-April-2005 to 20-March-2006). Materials & Methods: All individuals referred by Tehran MEDICOLEGAL center during the year 2005-2006 (from 5-April-2005 to 20-March-2006) evaluated for possibility of PSEUDOHYPACUSIS or exaggeration in hearing threshold levels. We used subjective and objective conventional audiological procedures for detecting PSEUDOHYPACUSIS. Findings: During the year 2005, 463 people including 282 males (60.9%) and 181 females (39.1%) referred to the audiology clinic of Loghman-e-Hakim hospital. Definite PSEUDOHYPACUSIS detected in 21.16% of the clients. There was no significant difference between the proportions of males (20.9%) and females (21.5%) showing PSEUDOHYPACUSIS. Conclusion: Frequency of PSEUDOHYPACUSIS in MEDICOLEGAL patients referred to Loghman-e-Hakim hospital is considerably high that require development of tertiary auditory electrophysiology section for assessment of PSEUDOHYPACUSIS- suspected individuals.
