Hearing loss is an ignored community health problem. Along with various mental and motor developmental impairments, iron deficiency anemia (IDA) may cause hearing abnormalities. Study aimed to correlate the Sensorineural hearing loss with iron deficiency anemia in adults. This case control study conducted. Total of 200 participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in present study and grouped into group 1 as cases and group 2 as controls. The participants included in present study after obtaining the consent and evaluated for the iron profile, PTA, OAE for sensory neural hearing loss. They were followed up for 3 months and 6 months. The mean age of case was 41.9 ± 10.77 and there was female preponderance in present study with 120 female and 80 males. Among 100 participants with iron deficiency anemia, twenty among them had the SNHL. The hearing impairment improved with the treatment of the IDA in patients in follow-up. There is a significant association between the SNHL and the Iron deficiency anemia in the patient. The treatment of IDA improves the hearing loss among the adults.

听力损失是一个被忽视的社区健康问题。除各种精神和运动发育障碍外，缺铁性贫血（IDA）可能导致听力异常。本研究旨在探讨成人感音神经性听力损失与缺铁性贫血之间的相关性。进行了此项病例对照研究。共有200名符合纳入标准的参与者被纳入本研究，分为1组为病例组，2组为对照组。在获得同意后，对本研究纳入的参与者进行铁代谢指标、纯音听阈（PTA）、耳声发射（OAE）以评估感音神经性听力损失。对他们进行了3个月和6个月的随访。病例组的平均年龄为41.9±10.77岁，本研究中女性占优势，有120名女性和80名男性。在100名缺铁性贫血参与者中，其中20人有感音神经性听力损失。随访中患者的缺铁性贫血经治疗后听力障碍有所改善。患者的感音神经性听力损失与缺铁性贫血之间存在显著关联。缺铁性贫血的治疗可改善成人的听力损失。
