Hearing was studied in 20 and 34 patients with subclinical and initial renal failure (RF), respectively. RF was secondary to chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, renal polycystosis (29, 24 and 1 patients, respectively). Hearing function was assessed at tonal threshold, suprathreshold and speech audiometry, ultrasound investigations. It was found that one third of the patients had bilateral symmetric hearing disorder of neurosensory hypoacusis type. The affection was not severe but involved both peripheral and central compartments of the acoustic analyzer. High-frequency sound sensitivity suffered most of all. There was a rise in hearing thresholds by air and bone conductivity at frequencies 12-18 kHz. This rise was the only marker of affected acoustic analyzer in 39% of the examinees. 12% of the patients demonstrated elevated hearing thresholds combined with elevated ultrasound thresholds, low differential threshold of sound intensity and abnormal threshold adaptation.

Hearing function was assessed in 63 patients with pronounced chronic renal failure (40 males, 23 females aged 20-52 years). Chronic renal failure resulted from chronic glomerulonephritis in 34 patients (16, 10 and 8 cases of nephrotic, hypertensive and mixed form, respectively), chronic pyelonephritis in 29 patients. The acoustic function was evaluated using acumetric methods, tonal threshold and suprathreshold audiometry, ultrasound sensitivity test, speech audiometry. Hearing disorders detected in patients with chronic renal failure were moderate and were characterized as neurosensory hypoacusis. The defects concerned high frequency perception. Hearing thresholds were high in all the examinees.
