Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: Hearing impairment is frequent in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD). We aimed to assess the prevalence of hearing impairment in children on regular hemodialysis and renal transplantation. Materials and Methods: Transient‐evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) has been done for 80 children on regular hemodialysis and 40 with renal transplant. Results: In hemodialysis group, TEOAEs showed that 53.8% children had hearing affection, it was significantly related to dialysis duration, dialysis adequacy, vascular access infection, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and ototoxic drugs ( p = 0.001, 0.037, 0.011, 0.004, 0.030, 0.007, and 0.044, respectively). In renal transplant group hearing impairment was 25%. There was significant relation with period of dialysis before transplantation and biopsy proved rejection ( p = 0.008, <0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Hearing impairment is a common finding in ESRD patients. Thus audiological assessment must be done in these patients.
