Transient conductive hearing loss as a notable and rare manifestation of preeclampsia: a case report

Transient conductive hearing loss due to SOM is a rare manifestation of preeclampsia, likely driven by hypertension-induced increased vascular permeability and altered fluid dynamics. Severe proteinuria may exacerbate systemic fluid imbalance, contributing to middle ear effusion. Early recognition <i>via</i> audiometric and tympanometric evaluation, exclusion of alternative etiologies, and targeted management (e.g. fluid overload reduction) can ensure prompt recovery and improve maternal outcomes. Early recognition and management can improve maternal outcomes by addressing fluid dysregulation and potentially preventing further complications.
