“…Dikici O, et al . [ 12 ] in a recent case-control study of 20 adult patients revealed that there is an inverse relationship between Brinkman Index (= the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day × the number of years smoking) and Transiently Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAEs), an objective test to determine cochlear function especially outer hair cells, in patients with RA [ 23 , 24 ]. The authors suggested that the inner ear vascular system and nutrition may be disturbed as a result of cigarette smoking.…”

“…In this technique sounds emitted in response to acoustic stimuli of very short duration. These sounds are produced by healthy cochlear systems most probably the outer hair cells, whereas any kind of cochlear dysfunction results in decrease or disappearance of TEOAEs [ 23 ]. Various amounts of decreases have been reported in RA patients.…”

Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, inflammatory disease that affects 1% of the population. The auditory system may be involved during the course of disease; however the association of RA and hearing impairment has not been clearly defined. Objective: The objective of this review is to evaluate published clinical reports related to hearing impairment in patients with RA. Furthermore, we discuss possible pathologies and associated factors as well as new treatment modalities. Method:A thorough literature search was performed using available databases including Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane and ComDisDome to cover all relative reports. The following keywords were used: hearing loss, hearing difficulties, hearing disorders, hearing impairment, sensorineural hearing loss, conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, autoimmune hearing loss, drug ototoxicity, drug-induced hearing loss, hearing test, audiometry, auditory dysfunction and rheumatoid arthritis. Conclusion:Based on our review it can be postulated that patients with RA are at higher risk of hearing impairment compared to healthy subjects in their course of the disease. The hearing impairment in RA seems to be a multifactorial condition; however the mechanisms of injury, as well as the relative risk factors, are not completely clear. This review can aid to clarify this condition and is a guide for further evaluation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review of hearing impairment in RA.
