Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate audiovestibular function in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a condition not previously well-researched for such disorders.
- Among 22 patients with AS evaluated, a significant number showed sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), particularly in the 45-59 age group, compared to healthy controls and patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
- The findings suggest that SNHL may be a complication of AS and warrant consideration of treatment effects, including potential toxicity from nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs.
