“…In the same way, absence of the acoustic reflex was significantly more prevalent in RA patients compared to healthy subjects, Those results are in concordance with literature. Low frequency air conduction threshold deteriorations and air bone gap increase were also observed by different investigators [5,10,11]. Presence of worse air conduction thresholds and larger air bone gaps at lower frequencies suggest subclinical middle ear involvement [4,12].…”

“…However, because of the small number of SNL cases, we haven't looked for relationship between methotrexate and hearing impairment in our study. The presence of a mixed type of hearing loss (10%) suggested a multifocal involvement of the audiologic system in RA [5,10,15]. The DAS disease activity score was higher in cases of RA with hypoacusia.…”

“…Physiopathology of SNHL seems to be complex and immune complex-mediated vasculitis of the inner ear. [2,5,13]. Exposure to ototoxic antirheumatic medications may play a role in hearing impairment in RA patients [1,14].…”

“…The nature and prevalence of hearing loss (HL) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain debated [2,4]. Thus, each of the anatomical structures of the ear (internal, external and middle) has been cited to be possibly affected by this chronic rheumatic disease [2,4,5]. The incudomalleolar and incudostapedial joints are true diarthroses.…”

Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is well known to affect many different organ systems. Previous work suggests that this includes the auditory system. The objectives of this work are to evaluate the pattern of hearing impairment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and to examine the possible associations between hearing impairment and related RA features especially disease activity. Materials and methods: Thirty RA patients (mean age of 44.5 ± 9.9 years; female sex (90%)) and 17 healthy controls (mean age of 41.5±9.1 years; female sex (76.4%)) were included in our study. The 2 groups were matched for age and sex (p>0.05). Otoscopic examination was normal in all participants. No subject of the 2 groups has had any abnormalities at otoscopic examination. Hearing impairment was evaluated by pure tone audiometry and tympanometry including the static compliance, middle ear pressure, stapedial reflex threshold test. In all patients the clinical features, laboratory data, X-rays, disease activity index-DAS 28 were performed.

“…Bu hastalarda; iletim tipi, sensorinö-ral (SN) tip veya her ikisini de içeren işitme kayıpları rapor edilmiş olmakla birlikte, en sık (%25-72 oranın-da) sensorinöral tip işitme kaybının olduğu bildirilmiştir [3,[6][7][8][9]. RA'da iç kulak tutulumunun varlığı tam olarak anlaşılamamış olmasına rağmen, nörit, vaskülit veya ilaç ototoksisitesine bağlı olarak tutulabileceği belirtilmiştir [10][11][12]. RA'nın işitme sistemine etkileri konusunda çok sayıda çalışma yapılmış olmasına rağ-men tartışmalı bir konu olmaya devam etmektedir.…”
