An Analysis of Risk Factors for Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Children With Sickle Cell Disease
Children with SCD may be at high risk for SNHL. No single morbidity was associated with an increase in bone conduction PTA. Hydroxyurea use was associated with increased bone conduction PTA, while iron overload was associated with decreased bone conduction PTA. The etiology of SNHL in SCD is likely multifactorial. Routine audiometric studies are recommended for children with SCD, especially before and after starting new treatments.
