Immunological studies in children with hearing impairment. Journal of the Indian Medical Association. 2005 Oct; 103(10): 520-1http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/102218An immunological study was carried out on 58 children below 14 years of age with sensorineural hearing loss of unknown aetiology. The observed elevated levels of IgE in 25.86% (n = 15) children and antinuclear antibodies in 10.34% (n = 6) children indicate that auto-immune activity has a role in the causation of hearing impairment.engAdolescentAntibodies, Antinuclear --bloodChildDisease ProgressionFemaleHearing Loss, Sensorineural --immunologyHearing TestsHumansImmunoglobulin E --bloodMalePilot ProjectsJournal Article
