Sensorineural hearing loss as an extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease has been reported in several studies, including adult patients. The aim of this study is to determine the presence of subclinical sensorineural hearing loss associated with inflammatory bowel disease in pediatric patients.
Otoscopy, tympanometry, and pure tone audiometry were performed in 24 patients with disease and 20 healthy age- and sex-matched controls.
Pure tone audiometry did not show significant sensorineural hearing loss over all frequencies in patients with inflammatory bowel disease compared with controls (P > 0.05).
Subclinical sensorineural hearing loss was demonstrated in adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease; therefore we recommend performing audiometric examinations in pediatric patients to recognize hearing loss early during the course of the disease.
几项研究报告称，炎症性肠病（IBD）的肠外表现之一为感觉神经性听力损失，其中包括成年患者。本研究旨在确定儿科患者的 IBD 是否存在与疾病相关的亚临床感觉神经性听力损失。
对 24 例患有 IBD 的患者和 20 名年龄和性别匹配的健康对照者进行耳镜检查、鼓室压图和纯音测听。
与对照组相比，IBD 患者的纯音测听在所有频率上均未显示出显著的感觉神经性听力损失（P > 0.05）。
在患有 IBD 的成年患者中发现了亚临床感觉神经性听力损失；因此，我们建议对儿科患者进行听力检查，以便在疾病过程中尽早发现听力损失。
