Аннотация
The effect of radiotherapy on hearing was studied in 30 patients who were treated by surgery and radiotherapy for a parotid neoplasm. Functions of the irradiated ear were compared with those of the non-irradiated ear in the same patient. Tympanometry showed a small but significant reduction of static compliance on the irradiated side when compared with the non-irradiated side. Audiometry showed a significant increase in hearing loss in the 1-2, 4-8 and 10-20 kHz ranges that increased with frequency. This hearing loss was mainly sensorineural in contrast to hearing loss at 250-500 Hz, where it was more of a conductive type. There appeared to be a significant dose-effect relation in sound perception at 4-8 kHz. Doses to the cochlea of less than 55 Gy seldom caused a hearing loss, in contrast to doses exceeding 65 Gy. Overall, radiotherapy was found to cause significant, mainly sensorineural hearing losses, which were partly dose-dependent.
