  • Title: [Hearing disorders in Paget's disease].
    Author: Lenarz T, Hoth S, Frank K, Ziegler R.
    Journal: Laryngol Rhinol Otol (Stuttg); 1986 Apr; 65(4):213-7. PubMed ID: 3713398.
    Abstract:
    The audiometric data of 41 patients with Paget's disease of the bone show that hearing loss exceeds the age-related presbycusis in patients with deformities of the temporal bone as demonstrated by X-ray (27%). The usual type of hearing loss is a sensorineural one. 80% of these patients showed hair cell damage, 32% of them a retrocochlear lesion, depending on the degree of deformity of the temporal bone. Conductive hearing loss of the otosclerosis type was found in only 20%. The Paget-related hearing loss can be regarded as a consequence of the deformation occurring both at the bone surrounding the cochlea and at the internal auditory canal.
