Abstract

We investigated whether preeclampsia is a risk factor for cochlear damage and permanent hearing loss. Prospective case-control study design. Academic tertiary medical center. Subjects included 40 patients with preeclampsia and 30 healthy pregnant women. Otoscopic examinations and pure-tone audiometry, tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), and stapedial reflex tests were conducted for all subjects. Negative audiologic tests were reevaluated after the postpartum period. Statistical analyses were performed using χ and binary logistic regression testing. We searched for signs of middle ear ventilation, damage of cochlea, and sensorineural hearing loss. Eight patients from the preeclampsia group had 1 or more otological problems. Two patients from the control group were determined as having otological problems. Otoacoustic emissions of the right and left ears (p = 0.029, p = 0.044), hearing levels of right and left ear bone conduction (BC) at the 500-Hz frequency (right and left-BC 500), and left ear at the 2,000-Hz frequency (left-BC 2000) differed significantly between the preeclampsia and control groups (p = 0.040, p = 0.003, and p = 0.003). There was no significant difference in the OAEs between the right and left ears in ...Continue Reading
