According to some authors, vitiligo influences hearing, whereas others question such influence. Therefore, we conducted a study to evaluate audiological functions in vitiligo patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Objectives\u2003To determine the effect of vitiligo on auditory functions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods\u2003A hospital-based observational study was done from January 2017 to July 2017. Clinically diagnosed cases of vitiligo were enrolled for the study. A complete otological examination was conducted in all patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results\u2003Fifty-two patients (male: female 28:24) were included in the study. Ten patients (19.2%) had sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Seven patients (13.5%) had bilateral and 3 (5.7%) had unilateral SNHL. High frequency loss was seen in 17 out of 20 ears (10 affected patients), 6 ears had both low and high-frequency hearing loss. Of 12 ears with speech frequency involvement, mild hearing loss was seen in 5 and moderate to severe in 1 ear. Most cases of SNHL were detected in the age group 41 to 60 years old (63.6%), which was statistically significant (p-value 0.00).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion\u2003The results of this study suggest that vitiligo patients require routine monitoring for auditory functions for early identification of SNHL. Older subjects with vitiligo might be at a higher risk for audiological abnormalities. These patients should also be informed regarding the associated risk with noise and ototoxic drug exposure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0039-1696700","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,4]],"date-time":"2019-11-04T18:50:55Z","timestamp":1572893455000},"page":"e149-e153","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Audiological Abnormalities in Vitiligo Patients: A Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Neel","family":"Prabha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0522-3118","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ripudaman","family":"Arora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of ENT & HNS, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Namrata","family":"Chhabra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monalisa","family":"Jati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of ENT & HNS, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nitin M.","family":"Nagarkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of ENT & HNS, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,4]]},"container-title":["International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0039-1696700.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,28]],"date-time":"2020-01-28T20:50:54Z","timestamp":1580244654000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0039-1696700"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,4]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"02","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,4]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,4]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0039-1696700","relation":{},"ISSN":["1809-9777","1809-4864"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1809-9777","type":"print"},{"value":"1809-4864","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,4]]}}}
