Noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus: A Serviceman’s perspective

• noise exposure history – Chinook/MAOT (1992 – 1998) • first manifestation – War Operations Centre (2002) • the realisation – MOD (2008) • the impact – service environment

10 February 2016

The human component of defence

• the human component is central to delivering military capability

• provision of sufficient, capable and appropriately trained personnel is critical to operational success

• need to sustain capability by protection, treatment and rehabilitation

• high-quality support, care and treatment at all points along the continuum of care

REDUCING THE BURDEN OF HEARING LOSS AND TINNITUS

RSM LONDON 9 FEB 16

Hearing loss and tinnitus REDUCING THE BURDEN

Shifting the problem focus An analogy

The environmental challenges Noise protection vs hearing utility

DMS Research Strategy Where does hearing loss and tinnitus fit?

The CDE call Disruptive ideas that protect quality of life

Hearing loss and tinnitus A UK POLITICAL PRIORITY

“We will work to address hearing loss among veterans.”

US Military BENCHMARK DATA

The most prevalent individual Service-related disability

US DoD estimated compensation costs for FY 2014 = $2.3Bn

Tinnitus & deafness increasing by 13-18% annually

SOURCE: US DoD HCoE

SHIFTING THE PROBLEM FOCUS

Shifting the problem focus ANALOGY—IN-HOSPITAL CARDIAC ARREST

Outcome from in-hospital cardiac arrest is poor …but resources traditionally focused on management

of the arrest after it has occurred

Shifting the problem focus ANALOGY—IN-HOSPITAL CARDIAC ARREST

Early detection of deterioration and timely intervention saves lives …but requires a change in culture and resources

• Warning signs in around 75% of arrests • Warning signs not picked up in 35% • Not acted upon adequately in 56% • Not communicated to senior doctors in 55%

Shifting the NIHL problem focus PREVENTION, EARLY DETECTION & INTERVENTION

Established hearing loss and tinnitus impairs the quality of life and reduces employability …so the Defence research focus should be on

prevention and measures that slow, arrest or reverse early deterioration iot sustain productive Service

THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE

The environmental challenge

protection from impulse noise


protection from background noise


understanding speech in noise

CONSORTIUM

hearWELL COLLABORATION

hearWELL MISSION

Deliver a systematic research programme that provides comprehensive understanding and practical solutions to PREVENT, DETECT and TREAT Service-related noise induced hearing loss in order to PROTECT and SUSTAIN the operational effectiveness of the force

hearWELL CENTRES OF GRAVITY

PROBLEM The critical vulnerability

that provides opportunity to be attacked Prevention through education and culture change

STRENGTH

The component of the clinical system that must be protected

Regular hearing assessment/surveillance

hearWELL MAIN EFFORT

When resources are limited (people, time, money)

where should they be focused? Earlier and better detection

PREVENT?

DETECT?

TREAT?

NIHL A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH

1. What is the size and nature of

NIHL?

4. How can damage to hearing be quantified more

consistently & reliably?

2. What is the optimal hearing

protection?

5. How can hearing be

assessed more functionally in

relation to role?

3. How can damage to hearing

be detected earlier?

6. How can an accurate staging and prognosis be

determined for NIHL prior to discharge?

7. How do we optimally treat

established hearing loss?

PREVENT DETECT TREAT PRE-EMPLOYMENT

- DETECT genetic predisposing trait. DETECT recreational pre-existing damage.

-

EMPLOYMENT MAINTAIN optimal hearing by protection& avoidance. PREVENT further damage once established

IDENTIFY early loss (optimise test sensitivity; ensure reliability & consistency). DISCRIMINATE between recreational & occupational damage (pre- & post-deployment tests).

TREAT established hearing loss to optimise continued employment. AMELIORATE deterioration.

PRE-DISCHARGE - ESTABLISH final disability with reliable prognosis (relates to compensation)

ESTABLISH & ASSURE referral pathway & commissioning for long term needs

POST-EMPLOYMENT

- MONITOR deterioration in order to INFORM pre-discharge prognosis

SUSTAIN optimal treatment as a benefit of Service acquired disability

CDE THEMED COMPETITION

active serving personnel Disruptive ideas to prevent or limit harm and thereby sustain employability

Secondary benefit: to protect enduring quality of life

Prevent Passive/active occlusive hearing protection Otoprotectant drugs (pre- or post-exposure)

Detect Earlier detection of hearing loss & tinnitus

Treat Intervention to slow, arrest and reverse established

hearing loss & tinnitus

CDE themed competition HEARING LOSS & TINNITUS

CDE themed competition HEARING LOSS & TINNITUS

The competition relates to disruptive ideas that can be taken through proof of principle

But are their COTS solutions that are not being exploited?

Do you have ideas about occlusive prevention that we can separately exploit?
