Abstract
The auditory system was assessed in 34 adult subjects with sickle cell disease using standard audiometric test techniques. The study results indicate that patients with sickle cell disease are at risk for retro-cochlear as well as cochlear dysfunction of the auditory system. However, there is no consistant audiometric pattern that is pathognomonic of sickle cell disease. The test results indicate that auditory status should be carefully monitored in all adult patients with sickle cell disease (Ear Hear 12 5:352-354).Keywords
