Sudden total deafness in sickle cell disease.
Sickle cell disease is a world-wide problem which has been noted to cause high tone sensorineural hearing loss. We report a case with sudden onset bilateral hearing loss which progressed to total sensorineural deafness. To our knowledge there has been no report of such a case occurring previously.
