“…Several studies have suggested that HbS has an effect of protection against Plasmodium falciparum, the etiologic agent of malaria [6], showing that heterozygous people carrying the sickle-cell trait (HbAS) are protected against severe malaria (prevalence of HbAS, in some populations, is above 90%) [6,8].…”

“…Of these 89 patients with SCD identified, 17 patients (14 males, 3 females; age, 10 -48 years) presented with inner ear symptoms and were evaluated by imaging of the brain or head and neck region or both. Presenting symptoms included SNHL (6 patients), dizziness, 6 vertigo, 5 and tinnitus, 3 or combination of multiple symptoms.…”

“…[1][2][3] The most accepted pathogenesis of inner ear involvement is recurrent vaso-occlusion of the labyrinthine blood vessels, which can result in LH and LO. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] LH is thought to result from altered capillary hemodynamics or reperfusion injury. 9 The association between LH and LO has not been fully demonstrated, but it is theorized that LH incites a reparative response that cascades from fibrosis to sclerosis and ultimately ossification of the inner ear structures.…”

“…The inner ear involvement is considered to result from vaso-occlusion of the labyrinthine blood vessels in SCD. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The membranous labyrinth is supplied by the labyrinthine artery that either arises from the anterior inferior cerebellar artery or as a direct branch of the basilar artery. The labyrinthine artery divides into the anterior vestibular, ves- tibulocochlear, and the proper cochlear arteries.…”

“…3 SNHL is a well-recognized complication of SCD. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] LH and LO have been reported to affect the inner ear in SCD; however, the association between inner ear involvement and imaging findings has not been fully described. Our purpose was to examine the prevalence of inner ear involvement of LH and LO and to assess the relationship between clinical and imaging findings of LH and LO in SCD.…”

IMPORTANCE Hearing loss in the US adult population is linked to hospitalization, poorer self-reported health, hypertension, diabetes, and tobacco use. As iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common and easily correctable condition, further understanding the association between IDA and all types of hearing loss in a population of United States adults may help open new possibilities for early identification and appropriate treatment. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and conductive hearing loss (CHL) and IDA in adults aged 21–90 years in the United States. DESIGN The prevalence of IDA and hearing loss (ICD-9 codes 389.1 (SNHL), 389.0 (conductive hearing loss), and 389 (combined hearing loss)) were identified in this retrospective cohort study. IDA was determined by low hemoglobin and ferritin levels for age and sex. Associations between hearing loss and IDA were evaluated using Chi squared test. Logistic regression modeled the risk of hearing loss among those with IDA. SETTING Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, PA. PARTICIPANTS Adults 21–90 years of age. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Hearing loss RESULTS Out of 305,339 patients in the study population, there was a 1.6% (n=4,807) prevalence of hearing loss and 0.8% (n=2,274) prevalence of IDA. Both SNHL and presence of combined hearing loss was significantly associated with IDA. Logistic regression confirmed increased odds of SNHL (adjusted OR 1.82 [95% CI 1.18–2.66]) and combined hearing loss (adjusted OR 2.41 [95% CI 1.90–3.01]) among adults with IDA, after adjusting for sex. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE IDA was associated with SNHL and combined hearing loss in a population of adult patients. Further research is needed to better understand the potential links between IDA and hearing loss, and whether screening and treatment of IDA in adults could have clinical implications in patients with hearing loss.
