title: [Hearing loss in cardiovascular diseases (author's transl)].
abstract: For the  sensory cells of Corti's organ are high susceptible to deficits in O2-supply, all disturbances of blood-flow in the inner ear can deteriorate the hearing function. It is the hypotonic dysregulation of the microcirculation in the stria vascularis, which is much more dangerous for the inner ear auditory receptors than be hypertonic disease. The occurance of acute or progredient hearing loss with symptoms of a sensorineural leason and of tinnitus therefore can be looked as an indication to the beginning of a cardiovascular disease, and necessitates appropriate diagnostic and therapy.
