This study found subclinical sensorineural hearing loss in patients with ulcerative colitis. This suggests hearing loss may be an under-recognized extra-intestinal manifestation of this inflammatory bowel disease.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Sensorineural hearing loss is rarely reported in ulcerative colitis patients.
  • The association may be sporadic or an under-recognized extra-intestinal manifestation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of hearing loss in patients with ulcerative colitis.
  • To investigate if hearing loss is an extra-intestinal manifestation of ulcerative colitis.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 20 active ulcerative colitis patients and 20 matched controls.
  • Evaluations included otoscopy, tympanometry, and pure tone audiometry.
  • Disease activity was assessed using a 12-month cumulative disease activity index.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • No auditory symptoms were reported by patients.
  • Otoscopy and tympanometry results were normal for all participants.
  • Pure tone audiometry revealed significant sensorineural hearing loss across all frequencies in ulcerative colitis patients compared to controls.

Conclusions:

  • Subclinical sensorineural hearing loss is associated with ulcerative colitis.
  • Further research is needed to understand the relationship and its pathological basis.
