Effects of primary arterial hypertension on cochlear function.

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated significantly poorer high-frequency hearing and lower otoacoustic emission amplitudes for adults with HT. Impairment in hearing thresholds associated with HT begins at ultra-high frequencies in the cochlea. HT may be a potential risk factor for the development of hearing loss; therefore, individuals with HT should be screened for auditory function. PMID: 33331807 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
