“…[19] Similarly, Yassin et al found a correlation between hearing loss and hyponatraemia and suggested the possibility of a common defect in membrane transport of ions. [20] In our study, we found that both hyponatraemia and hypokalaemia has an association with hearing loss group, but association of hyponatraemia is more stronger than hypokalaemia.…”

“…[21] Though the role of dialysis is unclear, adverse factors possibly related to haemodialysis are acute hypotension, reduction in blood osmotic pressure, acute clearance of urea, increased red blood cell mass and immunologic reaction to dialyzer membranes. [22] Further, it has been proposed that long-term haemodialysis may cause electrolyte, osmotic and biochemical alterations leading to sensorineural hearing loss, [20] though a single session may not have significant effect on hearing. In a study by Erkoc et al, the mean duration of haemodialysis in the patient group with hearing loss was longer than that in the patient group without hearing loss.…”

BACKGROUNDHearing loss in chronic kidney disease is believed to be of multifactorial aetiology. Associated hypertension and diabetes mellitus, use of ototoxic drugs, haemodialysis and the changes in metabolic parameters are the various reasons implicated in hearing loss. Also, the prevalence, degree and patterns of hearing loss associated with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) reported by various studies differ significantly.The current study was conducted to assess the degree and type of hearing loss in CKD patients and to find out the association of duration of disease, haemodialysis and certain blood parameters with hearing loss. MATERIALS AND METHODS70 consenting patients of age 20 -60 yrs. with Non-Syndromic Chronic Kidney Disease referred from Nephrology Department were divided into 2 groups of 35 each, those with hearing loss i.e. HL group and without hearing loss i.e. non-HL group. Their demographic details and duration of the disease were recorded. They were subjected to physical examination, blood investigations and pure tone audiometry. Both groups were studied on the basis of above parameters. RESULTSIn the HL group, most patients (54.3%) were shown to have mild degree of hearing loss and higher frequencies were mostly affected. In addition, there was a comparatively stronger association of hyponatraemia and hypokalaemia with HL group than with non-HL group. Mean duration of the disease and haemodialysis was higher in HL group than in non-HL group. CONCLUSIONThe patients of Chronic Kidney Disease have mild degree of hearing loss, mostly at higher frequencies. A longer duration of the disease and haemodialysis are directly related to the hearing loss. Nonetheless, low serum sodium and potassium has a stronger relation with hearing loss group than in non-hearing loss group.

“…In this study, patients reported within a mean [16]. Hearing assessment in normal Indian adults (\60 years of age) with no risk factors for hearing loss show the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss to range from 0 to 6 % [21,22] and males comprising two-thirds of them [21]. The 78 % prevalence of hearing loss in pSS noted in our study with predominantly female population, therefore, does not reflect the commonly prevalent scenario of hearing impairment in the normal Indian population.…”

This study aims to assess the frequency and the profile of hearing loss among patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome in a tertiary care hospital in India and to look for an association between hearing loss and immunological parameters (anti-SSA antibody, anti-SSB antibody, anticardiolipin antibodies, complements C3 and C4). This prospective observational study was done from January 2011 to October 2011 on consecutive patients diagnosed with primary Sjögren's syndrome in our tertiary care hospital. All patients underwent a puretone audiogram, tympanogram and acoustic reflex testing. The results of the tests were correlated with clinical and immunological findings. The frequency of audiometrically confirmed hearing loss in primary Sjögren's syndrome was estimated to be 78.38 %, though only 17.24 % complained of hearing loss; minimal to mild sensorineural hearing loss were the most common varieties. The commonest finding on tympanometry was 'A' type curve and acoustic reflex was absent in 18.92 % of cases. There was no association between hearing loss and age, sicca symptoms, systemic symptoms or immunological test results in primary Sjögren's syndrome. There was a high prevalence of hearing loss among patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome, but most patients were unaware of this. Hearing assessment and regular monitoring of hearing thresholds is advisable for all patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome.

“…10,11 Notably, many older studies have shown higher prevalence of hearing loss, possibly due to small sample sizes. Hearing thresholds were abnormal at high frequencies in 77.5 per cent of CKD patients and at low frequencies in 27.5 per cent in our study.…”
