TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Carbon monoxide poisoning and sensorineural hearing loss JO - Journal of laryngology and otology A1 - Shahbaz Hassan, M. A1 - Ray, Jacqueline A1 - Wilson, F. SP - 134 EP - 137 VL - 117 IS - 2 N2 - Exposure to carbon monoxide is a well-recognized cause of morbidity and mortality. Both acute accidental poisoning and chronic exposure are associated with a range of adverse health effects. We report two cases of carbon monoxide poisoning with the associated phenomenon of sensorineural hearing loss. Although hearing loss as a result of acute carbon monoxide exposure has previously been described, here we emphasize the need to consider chronic exposure to carbon monoxide as a potentially reversible cause of sensorineural hearing loss if diagnosed and treated early.
