Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate if multiple sessions of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) have any effect on the transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs).
STUDY DESIGN
Prospective study.
SETTING
Academic tertiary medical centre.
METHODS
Thirty patients undergoing multiple sessions of ESWL for urinary stone disease were assessed using TEOAEs before and after ESWL.
RESULTS
It was found that ESWL does not cause any significant changes in TEOAEs.
CONCLUSIONS
ESWL is a safe procedure and does not cause any changes in TEOAEs.
