   Introduction
 
The incidence of sensorineural hearing loss among patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) is considerably higher than in the general population. Bazzi et al. [1] found an incidence of 77% including patients with mild and very mild hearing loss. Ozturan and Lam [2] found a moderate to severe hearing loss in 46% of the tested patients. The general consensus in audiometric findings among patients with CRF claims a high frequency hearing loss [3,4] with a notch at 6 kHz [2].

Presence of hearing loss and estimation of type and degree constitute one of the most common methods used to investigate the effects of renal disease on the auditory system. Degree of hearing loss may give an indication of the extent of damage to auditory function, whereas the type of hearing loss may distinguish between lesions in the outer and . . .
