    Abstract:
    Our objective was to determine the high-frequency hearing thresholds of women with multiple sclerosis (MS) and to investigate the presence of side dominance for high-frequency perception. We submitted 19 affected and 106 nonaffected women (controls) to high-frequency audiometry and classified them in subgroups according to their age (30-40, 40-50, and 50-60 years). We analyzed data through selected statistical tests. We could detect no consistent effect of side dominance and observed a general increase in the hearing sensitivity for high frequencies in MS patients. We concluded that high-frequency sounds seemed to be detected more easily by MS patients than by controls.
