Investigation of the Effects of Hypothyroidism Duration on Hearing Function: An Experimental Animal Study
Experimentally induced hypothyroidism adversely affects auditory function in a duration-dependent manner. The condition was found to impair both ABR and OAE outcomes, accompanied by histopathological changes in cochlear tissue. These findings confirm that thyroid hormones play a crucial role in preserving auditory physiology, and prolonged hypothyroidism may progressively disrupt hearing at both functional and structural levels.
