  • Title: [Acute unilateral deafness and contralateral hearing loss following inguinal hernia repair under controlled anesthesia].
    Author: Constantinidis J, Mertzlufft F, Steinhart H.
    Journal: HNO; 1999 Oct; 47(10):907-11. PubMed ID: 10550375.
    Abstract:
    Acute hearing loss following non-otologic surgery and general anesthesia is a rare occurrence. Deafness following anesthesia has more commonly been associated with spinal anesthesia or cardiopulmonary bypass surgical procedures. We present a case with unilateral cochlear dysfunction and sensorineural hearing loss after inguinal hernia operation. The literature is reviewed and the mechanisms causing hearing loss during anesthesia are discussed.
