["Sudden binaural deafness" after acute heroin intoxication (author's transl)]
Abstract:
After intoxication by an overdose of intravenously applied heroin, a 20 year old man developed a nearly symmetrical, tub-shaped sensorineural deafness of max. 50-60 dB at the frequencies 1000-4000 Hz, which receded completely within 3 days. In addition, a short survey is given of hitherto known neurological complications after heroin intoxication.
