Abstract EN
Syphilis is a preventable and curable multi-organ disease caused by Treponema pallidum that may also affect the inner ear.
First reported in 1887 by Adam Politzer, luetic endolymphatic hydrops (LEH) is a treatable complication of syphilis which causes a potentially reversible sensorineural hearing loss.
Symptoms of LEH include fluctuating hearing loss (often low frequency), tinnitus, and vertigo.
Though audiometric parameters have been examined in patients with otosyphilis, few studies have examined the use of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) as a tool to measure improvement in cochlear function.
Here we report an improvement in hearing loss, speech discrimination, and OAEs following treatment of LEH.
