The aim of the present case series was to investigate the causes of hearing loss in the children studying at a primary School for the deaf in Van Province, Turkey. The present series included 95 children with sensorineural hearing loss. Otoscopic and ophthalmological examinations, pure-tone audiometry, and tympanometry were performed for each patient. Measles IgG, rubella IgG, cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG, toxoplasma IgG, herpes simplex virus (HSV) Type I (HSV-I) IgG, HSV Type II (HSV-II) IgG, and Mycoplasma pneumonia IgG were evaluated in serum samples. Temporal bone anomalies were analyzed on temporal bone computed tomography (CT). A total of 7 radiologically distinct inner ear malformations were detected in 19 children. Twelve children were detected with various fundus pathologies. The most common cause of hearing loss was family-related factors (52%). In conclusion, the etiological and epidemiological factors were consistent with those reported in the literature.
本病例系列的目的是调查在土耳其凡省一所聋哑人小学就读的儿童听力损失的原因。本系列包括95例感音神经性听力损失儿童。对每位患者进行了耳镜和眼科检查、纯音听力测定和鼓室图检查。对血清样本中的麻疹IgG、风疹IgG、巨细胞病毒（CMV）IgG、弓形虫IgG、单纯疱疹病毒I型（HSV-I）IgG、单纯疱疹病毒II型（HSV-II）IgG和肺炎支原体IgG进行了评估。在颞骨计算机断层扫描（CT）上分析颞骨异常情况。在19名儿童中总共检测到7种放射学上不同的内耳畸形。12名儿童被检测出患有各种眼底病变。听力损失最常见的原因是家庭相关因素（52%）。总之，病因学和流行病学因素与文献报道的一致。
