- [00:00:00.040]So the overall goal of this project is to characterize comprehensive hearing and
- [00:00:14.160]balance function in people who misuse substances so illicit drugs or prescription opioids and see
- [00:00:21.060]how those results compare to an age, race, ethnicity, and gender matched healthy cohort.
- [00:00:29.200]For the whole entire study, it's spanning five years, and we're planning to get a thousand
- [00:00:35.020]people. 600 of those are going to be people with a substance use disorder and 400 are going to be
- [00:00:41.500]age, gender, and race/ethnicity matched people who are healthy controls, who don't have a
- [00:00:48.220]substance use disorder. So the aims of the project, we've got three aims. So the first
- [00:00:53.600]one is to investigate the role of substance misuse on hearing, and then the second aim,
- [00:00:58.400]is looking at the effects of substance misuse on comprehensive balance function. So our
- [00:01:06.660]is part of our balance system, and that's in the inner ear.
- [00:01:09.660]So a lot of times when we see hearing loss,
- [00:01:11.940]we also see some balance disturbances as well.
- [00:01:14.240]The third aim is looking at how specific
- [00:01:18.320]socio-demographic factors
- [00:01:20.140]and other potential comorbid health factors,
- [00:01:23.200]so that's physical health and mental health,
- [00:01:25.160]might influence some of the hearing imbalance findings
- [00:01:28.600]that we find between the two groups.
- [00:01:30.060]Yeah, so we're hoping to use the results
- [00:01:33.240]to help us understand better
- [00:01:35.760]how hearing imbalance are affected by substance misuse.
- [00:01:39.920]We're hoping to be able to share the information
- [00:01:44.220]across disciplines.
- [00:01:45.420]So for example, raising awareness
- [00:01:48.600]with addiction medicine specialists
- [00:01:51.160]on how substance misuse might impact hearing imbalance,
- [00:01:55.200]so then they can include screening questions
- [00:01:57.740]for the patients that they serve
- [00:02:00.020]to see if they're having any hearing or balance changes
- [00:02:02.860]that they notice so that maybe they can refer them
- [00:02:05.200]for further information.
- [00:02:05.740]or further help.
