“…*RA: Rheumatoid Arthritis. and this indicates the affection of the high frequencies hearing threshold is more than the rest of frequencies as observed previously by Treviño [15]. The most common type of hearing loss found in this study was the sensorineural hearing loss; which is probably explained by the affection of the cochlea or the auditory nerve pathway through systemic inflammation and tissue injury as mentioned by Harris and many others studies [5] [7] [16] [17].…”

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease is one of the most common chronic autoimmune diseases that affect many body systems including the auditory system. Objectives: To assess hearing thresholds and to ascertain types of hearing loss among Sudanese rheumatoid arthritis patients attending rheumatology clinic in Omdurman military hospital and matching them with non-rheumatoid arthritis subjects. Methodology: This descriptive and analytic (comparative) hospital based cross sectional study conducted from October 2020 to April 2021 which include 66 RA patients with age range (21 -60 years) matched with 41 non-rheumatoid arthritis group sharing same characteristics (nation, gender and age). Pure tone audiometry, tympanometry and acoustic reflexes were done for all RA patients and matched groups. Statistical analysis of the data was carried out using the association and correlation tests for associations and t-test for independent samples. Results: Thirty-six (54.5%) of RA patients had hearing impairment versus 9 (22%) non-RA in PTA test. Twenty-four RA cases (36.3%) showed asymmetrical hearing threshold and graph in PTA between right and left ears. Thirty-four (51.5%) right and 36 (54.5%) left ears were normal degree followed by 23 (34.8%) in the right and 24 (36.4%) in the left ears were mild degree hearing loss. Among hearing impaired RA patients; 20 right ears (62.5%) and 19 left ears (65.5%) had sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), conductive hearing loss 11 (34.4%) right ears and 9 (31%) left ears. Mixed HL was in 1 right ear (3.1%) and 1 left ear (3.5%). The most common degree of SNHL type was mild in (75%) and (78.9%) in right and left ears respectively, moderate and moderate severe were (20%) in the right and (15.7%) in the left ears. Fifty-eight right ears (87.9%) and 56 left ears (84.8%

“…The middle ear pressure and static compliance were within normal limits for all subjects, except for Type B tympanogram in three cases. Treviño et al [30] have also reported Type A tympanograms using impedance audiometry for 88.90% and 91.46% subjects in right and left ears respectively. Contrary to the present findings, authors have reported abnormal tympanometric findings for the RA group with the majority of subjects having stiffness related pathology or ossicular chain discontinuity [13,24,25,27].…”

“…Several authors [13,17,21,22,28,29] have also reported similar findings wherein individuals with RA reported a higher degree of hearing loss compared to their age and gender matched controls. Treviño et al [30] reported a high prevalence of sensory neural hearing loss in high and ultra high frequencies for subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. SNHL was reported in 94.02% patients in right ear and 95.73% in left ear for a frequency range of 10,000Hz to 16,000Hz.…”

The present study was conducted with the aim to investigate the peripheral and central auditory manifestations in individuals with RA. 40 subjects (age range: 25-45 years), diagnosed with RA and 40 age and sex matched otologically normal subjects participated in the study. Participants underwent a comprehensive audiological test battery comprising of conventional and extended high frequency puretone audiometry, impedance audiometry, otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) and auditory brainstem responses (ABR). Significant difference between the puretone thresholds for the two groups was found at high frequencies (beyond 4 kHz). Majority of the subjects in RA group had absent/reduced amplitude for TEOAE. A highly statistically significant difference was observed between the RA and the control group for the absolute latency of wave I, III and V of the left ear. Considering the high incidence of hearing loss in RA group, a regular referral for audiological evaluations is suggested.
