“…Another study reported that hearing became normal after 3 years post-operatively. [8][9][10] A prospective study conducted by Lim et al 13 on nine patients with communicating hydrocephalus who underwent audiological testing before shunting, 5 days and 1 month after shunt placement. In 40% of patients, the pure tone threshold increased by at least 15 dB at one or more frequencies.…”

Background: Hydrocephalus can cause hearing loss through the mechanism of the relationship between pressure cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), perilymph, and endolymph. Hidrocephalus is rare, estimated at 10 per mil. Most cases in infants (46.25%), neonates (5%). Men are more likely to experience hydrocephalus. Changes in pressure and loss of CSF cause endolymph hydrops which results in inner ear dysfunction Objective : To study how cases of hydrocephalus cause hearing loss. Case:Reported a case of a woman aged 1 year 7 months with hearing loss and hydrocephalus Methods: Search literature through Pubmed, Google Scholar. with the keywords hearing loss AND hydrocephalus AND children obtained 101 journals. The results of the screening obtained 4 analyzed journals. Result : Hearing loss was caused by IV ventricular pressure. Improvement of CSF pressure with VP shunt or ventriculotomy can improve inner ear function Conclusion: Hydrocephalus causes endolymph hydrops which results in hearing loss.

“…There have been sporadic reports of temporary and permanent hearing loss after lumbar puncture, spinal anesthesia, and neurosurgeries [2][3][4][5] . Recently, Lim et al [6] reported an increased hearing threshold after elective VP shunt surgery. They argued that pressure changes in the CSF can induce pressure changes in the inner ear.…”

OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to measure the radiological dimensions of the cochlear aqueduct in Meniere's disease and in low-frequency hearing loss (LFHL) patients and control patients. MATERIALS and METHODS:Groups of 26 patients (32 ears, including 6 with bilateral involvement) with Meniere's disease, 14 patients (18 ears) with LFHL, and 23 patients with unilateral chronic otitis media, as controls, were enrolled. For the measurements, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the temporal bone was performed. The cochlear aqueduct was evaluated for the following six parameters: medial opening (MO), petrous apex (PA), otic capsule (OC), lateral opening (LO), distance of the cochlear aqueduct (DC), and length of the cochlear aqueduct (LC). RESULTS:The PA, OC, DC, and LC were not significantly different between the groups. LO could not be measured because the LO was not visible in all cases. The MO diameter was narrower in the Meniere's disease group than in the LFHL group (p=0.001) and in the controls (p=0.035). When the dimensions of both ears were measured in patients with unilateral Meniere's disease, no statistically significant difference was found. CONCLUSION:Compared to LFHL and controls, the MO of the cochlear aqueduct was significantly smaller in the Meniere's disease group.
