Hearing affection was meaningfully higher among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients and more prominent in patients with respiratory failure. Hypoxia results in deterioration of pure tone audiometry and increased absolute and interpeak latencies in auditory brain stem response. At every frequency, the mean pure tone audiometry thresholds were higher for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease groups than control group albeit remaining in the mild to moderate area of hearing loss. Retro-cochlear affection was suggested among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as evidenced with the prolongation of auditory brain stem response waves latencies.
