“…Multisystem, autoimmune diseases such as Wegener granulomatosis, lupus erythematosus and polyarteritis nodosa have been demonstrated to cause sensorineural hearing loss by affecting the inner ear 4 . Also, there are studies in the literature on hearing abnormalities in autoimmune/ autoinflammatory dermatologic diseases such as vitiligo 5,6 , psoriasis [7][8][9][10] and Behçet's disease 11,12 . Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of melanocytes.…”

“…Inflammation caused by macrophages, T lymphocytes and macrophage-like melanocytes was determined to cause damage to the inner ear and result in hearing loss 4 . There are many studies investigating hearing loss in various inflammatory dermatoses such as vitiligo, psoriasis, and Behçet's disease [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] . However, there has been only one study investigating the audiologic anomalies in AA patients in the literature 13 .…”

Öz Amaç: Alopesia areata (AA) hastalarında işitme kaybı olup olmadığını saf ses odyometri ile değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 48 AA hastası ve 39 sağlıklı gönüllü dahil edildi. Hastaların kulak burun boğaz hastalıkları uzmanı tarafından muayeneleri yapıldı. Odyometrik değerlendirme saf ses odyometrisi ile yapıldı. Her iki kulak için 250-8000 Hz frekanslarında hava yolu işitme düzeylerine bakıldı. Bulgular: AA hastalarının %18,8'inde, kontrol grubunun ise %10,3'ünde sensorinöral hipoakuzi saptandı. İki grup arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p=0,422). Saf ses ortalaması AA hastalarında sağ kulak için 10,89±5,45, sol kulak için 10,50±5,98 idi. Kontrol grubunda ise sağ kulak için 10,25±3,43, sol kulak için ise 10,23±5,46 olarak bulundu. AA hastalarının saf ses ortalaması her iki kulak için de kontrol grubundan daha yüksek olmasına rağmen bu fark istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı değildi (sırasıyla p=0,829, p=0,526). Her iki kulak için AA ve kontrol grubunun frekanslara göre işitme eşiği değerleri karşılaştırıldığında iki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark görülmedi (p>0,05). Sonuç: AA hastalarında işitme kaybı yönünden kontrol grubuna göre fark saptanmadı.

“…Soylu et al [26] found significant differences in hearing thresholds at frequencies of 250, 500, 2000 and 4000 Hz in patients with Behçet's disease; Ak et al [25] found a statistically significant difference at 250, 500, 4000, 6000 and 8000 Hz. Aslan et al [27] stated that there was a significant difference between patient and control group at 250, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 Hz. In our study, we observed statistically significant differences in frequencies of 500, 1000, 2000 and 8000 Hz in the left ear, and 500, 1000 and 8000 Hz in the right (p < 0.05).…”

Objectives: Behçet's disease is an inflammatory rheumatic disease with recurrent scarring in the oral and genital area, as well as skin, eye, joint, vein, and nerve involvement. The aim of the study was to investigate the level of hearing in Behçet's disease and whether there is a change in hearing levels as the level of the disease increases. Methosd: In this study we examined 32 patients with Behçet's disease and 50 healthy volunteers. All patients were evaluated with audiometry, tympanometry and acoustic reflex tests, as well as detailed ear, nose, and throat examinations. Results: Sensorineural hearing loss was observed in 9.3% of the patients with Behçet's disease, according to the audiological data, and all patients were bilateral. We also observed sensorineural hearing loss to be the fifth most common symptom in our study. Especially in high frequencies, there was positive correlation between hearing levels and disease exposure time (p < 0.05). Conclusions: We think that the audiological examinations should be included in the routine checkups of Behçet's patients. In addition, a follow-up assessment of the hearing level of these patients with high frequency audiometry may be more meaningful.

“…Both syndromes have a higher prevalence in the ancient silk road, and some MEFV mutations may increase susceptibility in BD [11] . Cochlear involvement has been shown to be present by audiological assessment in the course of BD [12,13] . Also, in a retrospective study, cerebral stroke in FMF patients has been shown to have a higher prevalence than in the general population.…”

OBJECTIVE:Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common and best understood disease of hereditary periodic fever syndromes. Various degrees of sensorineural hearing loss can be seen in the progression of some hereditary periodic fever syndromes. There are very limited and controversial studies in the literature with regard to hearing loss in patients diagnosed with FMF. We aimed to evaluate cochlear function in children with FMF. MATERIALS and METHODS:Forty-nine patients diagnosed with FMF and 49 age-and sex-matched controls were included in the study. All of the children had undergone a routine ear-nose-throat examination. Patients with pathological findings in the otologic examination or a history of recurrent otitis media; using proven ototoxic drugs; or having an abnormal tympanometry finding were excluded from the study. Following audiologic evaluation, tympanometry and distortion product otoacoustic emissions testing were conducted on all subjects. Pure-tone and high-frequency audiometry were carried out on 40 subjects from both groups who could cooperate in the testing. RESULTS:Hearing thresholds of FMF patients were found to be increased at all frequencies (250 to 16,000) (p<0.001). The difference between the hearing thresholds of the two groups could be seen more prominently at higher frequencies, and despite a statistically significant difference, the hearing thresholds of the two groups were within the normal range of tonal audiometry frequencies. In the otoacoustic emission evaluation, the distortion products and signal/noise ratio of children with FMF were lower in the tested frequencies from 1000 to 4000 Hz (p<0.001). CONCLUSION:Our results demonstrated that FMF disease may cause hearing loss in children with FMF. Hearing loss in children with familial Mediterranean fever has been observed, showing increased hearing thresholds at all frequencies in audiometry, together with decreased distortion products and signal: noise ratios, demonstrated by distortion product otoacoustic emissions testing. We think this might be due to cochlear involvement. Regular follow-up of auditory function in FMF children may be helpful for determining early possible hearing loss.
