“…In theory, this HL could be a coincidence of sudden idiopathic deafness, which is a condition affecting 5 -20 of 100,000 people per year [7,12]. Olsen et al [13] found no records of hearing problems among the complications listed in 1,000 consecutive CABG operations performed between 1993 and 1995, but a certain underreporting of any HL might be expected if hearing is not systematically tested before and after surgery.…”

Hearing loss (HL) is a rare complication following cardiac surgery with extracorporal circulation (CSWEC) or other non-otologic surgery under general anesthesia, as is HL caused by loss of cerebrospinal fluid during neurosurgery or spinal anesthesia. The incidence of HL after CSWEC is not known since preoperative hearing testing is not commonly done and a perioperative HL may occur unnoticed. We present four cases of profound sensorineural hearing loss following CSWEC for coronary artery bypass or cardiac valve surgery. The hearing loss was noticed immediately on waking from anesthesia in three of the patients, whereas the fourth patient noticed decreased hearing during the first postoperative week. In all patients audiological investigation suggested a cochlear etiology of the HL. The possible mechanisms for HL are discussed. HL after CSWEC is most likely caused by a microembolism generated by atheromatous material.

“…They involved a mastectomy, a cholecystectomy, and a pupilloplasty. Jaffe, 16 in a series of 143 sudden hearing loss patients, reported 4 cases which were associated with non-otologic surgery. Those cases were a thryoidectomy, 2 abdominal procedures, and a cardiac pacemaker insertion.…”

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a well recognized phenomenon in otologic practice with both viral and vascular etiologies being supported. However, sudden hearing loss as a complication of non‐otologic surgical procedure is a seldom reported and rare phenomenon. Five cases of unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss which are time related and probably causally related to non‐otologic surgery are presented. Two cases underwent open heart surgery and support previous reports of hearing loss secondary to cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. Three noncardiac cases are also reviewed. None of these patients had prior otologic disease which would predispose to a sudden hearing loss, and no intraoperative or postoperative complication was specifically noted as a cause of the hearing loss. The literature is reviewed and attention is drawn to the problem. We wish to encourage further reports and to recommend early identification and treatment in those cases related to cardiopulmonary bypass.
