Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the prevalence of damage to the auditory system in patients with a Metal-on-Metal or revised Metal-on-Metal bearing, especially regarding mid frequency hearing loss. A distinction will be made between prevalence in patients with high plasma cobalt or chromium levels and patients with low plasma cobalt and chromium levels. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess which factors are associated with damage to the auditory system (We will only perform this if possible, if we have enough cases with hearing loss). o Factors of interest: highest known cobalt plasma concentration, highest known chromium plasma concentration, type of prosthesis, age, work in a noisy environment, presence of ARDM, revision o Patients will be asked to complete the hearing questionnaire as well as the Metal-on-Metal Prosthesis Questionnaire for Assessing General Health in order determine the general health of these patients and subjective hearing loss. | — |
