Abstract

Aim: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is becoming a great concern, especially in developing countries and SNHL among patients with CKD is considerably higher than general population. So, current study aims evaluation and assessment of degree of hearing loss in chronic kidney disease patients using pure tone audiogram and correlation of hearing loss with its contributing factors. Materials and methods:70 patients with CKD were included in this prospective observational cross sectional study performed in tertiary care hospital. A detailed history; general physical, otological examination, blood investigation was done.CKD staging was done using KDIGO guidelines and hearing assessment using pure tone audiometry. Hearing loss association with CKD and contributing factors were studied. Result: Out of 70 participants, SNHL was seen in twenty one participants. Hearing loss was present in 3 out of 22 participants of CKD-3; 6 out of 12 participants of CKD-4 and 12 out of 15 participants of stage CKD-5. A statistically significant association of hearing loss was found with CKD stage, albuminuria, hemodialysis, hypertension and other factors. Discussion: Since hearing impairment may well have a negative impact on the social function of an affected individual, the use of pure tone audiogram to monitor CKD patients should be considered as a routine procedure. Patients with CKD would benefit from early detection of hearing loss which will allow for early rehabilitative measures to be taken.
