Abstract

Chronic renal failure affects all organ systems. Senses are not exception and hearing impairment in this group of patients is very common, particularly sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The aim of this study is to evaluate if hemodialysis affects hearing in patients with chronic kidney failure. This is a transversal study. In this study were included 65 patients. 21 (32.3%) female patients and 44 (67.7%) male patients Study was performed in the American Hospital 2 of Tirana during years 2015-2016, 27 (41.5%) patients during 2015 and 38 (58.5%) patients during 2016. In our study there is no characteristic connection between level of hearing loss and number of months in hemodialysis. The same result is that there is no characteristic connection between medium number of months of kidney failure and level of hearing loss. There are controversial results in many studies about this correlation but without clear results. Sensorineural hearing loss is very common in hemodialysis patients. Sensorineural hearing loss in hemodialysis patients in our study is not affected by the number of hemodialysis sessions and by the number of months with kidney failure. But still there are needed more studies in large groups of patients to arrive in a definitive conclusion.
