ABSTRACT
Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) is a cause of hearing
loss that currently accounts for approximately 1% of all hearing
loss cases and its etiopathogenesis is still not clearly defined. AIED
may be associated with a systemic autoimmune disease or it may be
cochlea-specific. Although Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is a very common
autoimmune disease, its relationship with hearing loss is less
known than the relationship between other systemic autoimmune diseases
and hearing loss. Not only cochlear but also central hearing loss
due to HT has been reported. No improvement in hearing loss was observed
with treatment of thyroid dysfunction. In this article, we aimed
to compile the data obtained from studies investigating the relationship
between HT and AIED in the literature.
Keywords: Autoimmune inner ear disease; Hashimoto thyroiditis; immun mediated inner ear disease; sensorineural hearing loss
ÖZET
Otoimmün iç kulak hastalığı (OİKH), günümüzde tüm işitme
kaybı vakalarının yaklaşık %1’ini oluşturan ve etiyopatogenezi hâlâ net
olarak ortaya konulamamış bir işitme kaybı nedenidir. OİKH, sistemik
otoimmün bir hastalıkla birlikte olabileceği gibi kohleaya özgü de olabilmektedir.
Hashimoto tiroiditi (HT) oldukça yaygın bir otoimmün
hastalık olmasına rağmen işitme kaybı ile ilişkisi, diğer daha nadir görülen
sistemik otoimmün hastalıkların işitme kaybı ile aralarındaki ilişkiye
kıyasla daha az bilinmektedir. HT’ye bağlı sadece kohlear değil
santral işitme kaybı da bildirilmiştir. Tiroidfonksiyon bozukluğunun
tedavisiyle işitme kaybında herhangi bir iyileşme gözlenmemiştir. Bu
yazımızda, literatürde bugüne kadar HT-OİKH ilişkisini araştıran çalışmalardan
edinilen verileri derlemeyi amaçladık.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Otoimmün iç kulak hastalığı; Hashimoto tiroiditi; immün aracılı iç kulak hastalığı; sensörinöral işitme kaybı
