ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

An immunological study was carried out on 58 children below 14 years of age with sensorineural hearing loss of unknown aetiology. The observed elevated levels of IgE in 25.86% (n = 15) children and antinuclear antibodies in 10.34% (n = 6) children indicate that auto-immune activity has a role in the causation of hearing impairment.
