[Transient low frequency hearing loss following spinal anesthesia].
Hearing loss after spinal anaesthesia is very seldom reported in the literature. After having seen such a case we studied prospectively 100 patients with urological operations under spinal anaesthesia. We found 3 patients having a typical picture of a transient hearing loss in the low frequency range (30 dB). This disturbance was reversible in short time without special therapy.
