Abstract :

Objective: To study the incidence and possible role of chronic renal disease in he� loss. Methods: 63 patients with chronic renal disease were studied. Patients were divided into three groups according to their age in order to make a precise comparison between their bone conduction thresholds and the corresponding normal audiograms. The age groups were as follows: Group A: 25–40 years. Group B: 41–55years. Group C: 56–75 years. The duration of chronic renal disease was taken into consideration and the relation between the duration of the disease and the degree of he� loss was assessed. Clinical evaluation of all patients was done, followed by pure tone audiometry and analysis was done of bone conduction threshold. Results: The incidence and severity of he� loss increased with the advancing age and duration of chronic renal disease. Conclusion: Patients with chronic renal disease had sensorineural deafness of greater severity which should be assessed and evaluated to halt its progression.
