Risk Factors for Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Children and Adolescents with Sickle Cell Disease.
This study highlights the high prevalence of SNHL in children with SCD and its association with modifiable risk factors. Routine audiological screening, consistent clinic attendance, medication adherence, and regular monitoring of haematological parameters are essential for early identification and management of SNHL. Targeted interventions can significantly improve the outcomes and reduce the burden of this debilitating complication.
