Abstract: (5219 Views)
Inner ear cells are sensitive to some metabolic and hormonal disorders, but
the relation between chronic renal failure (CRF), regular dialysis treatment (RDT)
and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is still a debatable field. The object of this
paper was to verify the presence of SNHL in patients submitted to hemodialysis
with different duration due to CRF and in those submitted to conservative treatments
compared to normal controls. Sixteen chronic renal failure patients, thirty CRF
patients with different duration of hemodialysis (14 cases less than 5 years, 9 cases
between 5 to 10 years and 7 cases more than 10 years) and sixteen controls were
studied according to clinical exam, pure tone audiometry and immitanciometry. The
hearing acuity in the CRF groups compared to the normal group showed impairment,
mainly in 4 and 8 kHz. There was no statistically significant difference in hearing acuity
between CRF patients on RDT and those with conservative management.
