Özet
Objective To evaluate whether patients using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) have improvement or deterioration in their auditory systems. Methods Charts of OSAS patients who were followed up at the ENT clinic were retrospectively reviewed starting from 2018. The hearing tests performed at least 2 years before and after CPAP use in patients were compared with themselves and with the test results of patients with no CPAP use. Results No improvement in the hearing system on the patients using a CPAP device was detected. Deterioration in hearing was detected in 13.63% and 9.09% of the patients with and without CPAP use, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups. Conclusion The use of a CPAP device does not affect hearing positively or negatively.
