Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim to compare the degree of sensorineural hearing loss in patients with and without pseudo exfoliationMaterials and Methods A comparative study design enrolling 44 patients each with and without pseudoexfoliation was employed Pure tone audiometry was done to detect sensorineural hearing loss and to quantify the same according to WHO classificationResults 523 of patients in the group with pseudo exfoliation had mild sensorineural hearing loss ie difficulty with faint speech68 had moderate sensorineural hearing loss409 had no significant hearing loss In the group without pseudo exfoliation 568 had no significant hearing loss while 295 had mild sensorineural hearing loss136 had moderate to moderately severe sensorineural hearing lossConclusion There is an increased incidence of hearing impairment in pseudo exfoliation syndrome though not statistically significantKeywords Pseudoexfoliation Sensorineural hearing loss
