[Total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in sensorineural deafness]

In order to verify an assumed hypothesis of a correlation between sensorial hearing loss and arteriosclerosis type injuries, these parameters were studied: total cholesterol and cholesterol associated to high density lipoproteins in order to evaluate the risk of developing coronary heart disease in patients with cochleopathy as compared to control patients. It proved impossible to point out any significant difference between results obtained in the two groups for any of the analytical parameters considered.
