“…The elevation of CRP or the increase in ESR may precede the deterioration of hearing (9). Thus, these findings may be useful as markers of increased risk of the development of a hearing deficit.…”

“…There are a few other reports of hearing loss associated with Takayasu's arteritis (6, 7), especially in Japan (8-13), but general physicians are often not aware of the hearing deficit that occurs as a complication of this disease. Many reports showed the beneficial effects of steroid administration on hearing loss in Takayasu's arteritis (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17), and thus, steroids should be used as first-line therapy. The interruption of steroid treatment will exacerbate the hearing deficit (11,14).…”

A 49-year-old woman complained of hearing loss and diminution of left radial arterial pulsation. She had been diagnosed with sudden deafness and treated with corticosteroids. Her audibility deteriorated again after the cessation of the therapy. Angiograms showed stenosis in the bilateral carotid arteries, the left vertebral artery, the left subclavian artery, and the pulmonary arteries. She was diagnosed with Takayasu's arteritis. After steroid therapy was restarted, there were improvements in her audibility, radial arterial pulsation, and levels of inflammatory markers (erythrocyte sedimentation rate, Creactive protein, and gamma-globulin), fibrinogen, interleukin-6, and RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted).
