Abstract:
Hearing loss is an ignored community health problem. Along with various mental and motor developmental impairments, iron deficiency anemia (IDA) may cause hearing abnormalities. Study aimed to correlate the Sensorineural hearing loss with iron deficiency anemia in adults. This case control study conducted. Total of 200 participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in present study and grouped into group 1 as cases and group 2 as controls. The participants included in present study after obtaining the consent and evaluated for the iron profile, PTA, OAE for sensory neural hearing loss. They were followed up for 3 months and 6 months. The mean age of case was 41.9 ± 10.77 and there was female preponderance in present study with 120 female and 80 males. Among 100 participants with iron deficiency anemia, twenty among them had the SNHL. The hearing impairment improved with the treatment of the IDA in patients in follow-up. There is a significant association between the SNHL and the Iron deficiency anemia in the patient. The treatment of IDA improves the hearing loss among the adults.

The retina is composed of several layers and contains specialized cells called photoreceptors. The photoreceptors (rods and cones) change their membrane potential when stimulated by light energy. There are two types of photoreceptors—rods and cones—which differ in the shape of...
