Article Synopsis
- Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that can affect hair follicles and may also relate to hearing loss, prompting a study to explore hearing impairments in affected patients.
- The study involved 42 individuals with alopecia areata and 42 healthy controls, using various tests to assess hearing, revealing significant differences in hearing abilities between the two groups.
- Results showed that patients with alopecia areata had higher speech recognition thresholds and reduced otoacoustic emissions compared to controls, suggesting a possible link between the disease and hearing impairments, though limitations like small sample size were noted.
