The analysis of hearing thresholds obtained in the audiological evaluation performed in 2012 and, later, in 2015, indicated onset or progression of hearing loss, with aggravation of 10dB in most frequencies evaluated, being more expressive in acute frequencies. High rate of hearing complaints and alterations in individuals with SS and onset and/or progression of hearing loss in those who underwent serial...Continue Reading
