Brucellosis, a multisystem infection, rarely affects the ear. This study found that patients with brucellosis do not experience significant hearing loss, suggesting peripheral brucellosis is not linked to auditory complications.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection known for multisystemic complications.
  • Ear involvement in brucellosis is infrequently documented in medical literature.
  • Assessing the audiological status in brucellosis patients is crucial due to potential complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the hearing status of individuals diagnosed with brucellosis.
  • To investigate the correlation between brucellosis and potential hearing impairment.
  • To contribute data on the otological manifestations of brucellosis.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 32 patients diagnosed with brucellosis was enrolled.
  • Comprehensive audiological assessments were conducted, including pure tone audiometry and speech audiometry.

  • Tympanometry was performed to assess middle ear function.

    • Main Results:

    • Mean pure tone averages for brucellosis patients were within normal ranges and consistent between ears.
    • No significant difference in hearing levels was observed between patients who received anti-Brucella treatment and those who did not.
    • Hearing levels across various frequencies (250-8000 Hz) showed no statistically significant variations.

    Conclusions:

    • Peripheral brucellosis does not appear to be associated with hearing loss.
    • The study suggests that brucellosis, in its peripheral form, does not significantly impact auditory function.
    • Further research may explore central nervous system involvement and its effect on hearing.
