Abstract

Fifty-six individuals with acromegaly referred for pituitary surgery were studied to determine any relationship between acromegaly and sensorineural or conductive hearing loss. Compared to a matched population control sample, no significant difference between the acromegalics and controls has been found, either for air conduction or for bone conduction. The differences between these findings and those published previously are discussed, and reasons proposed to explain the discrepancies.
