Popis: Introduction and objectives Paget's disease of bone (PDB) may lead to hearing loss. The present study was conducted with the aim of measuring, characterising and determining the risk factors for hearing loss in a group of subjects with PDB. Methods An observational, transversal, case–control study was conducted, a cohort of 76 subjects diagnosed with PDB in the case group and a control group of 134 subjects were included. Clinical, demographic and audiometric data were analysed. Results The comparative analysis between the subjects in the PDB group and the control group found that the case group showed higher hearing thresholds (39.51 dB) compared with the control group (37.28 dB) (P = .069) and presented a greater rate of conductive hearing loss (22.76%) than the control group (12.05%) (P = .0062). The study of risk factors for hearing loss found that skull involvement in bone scintigraphy, age and high blood pressure were risk factors for higher impairment in PDB. Conclusions The subjects with PDB showed more profound and a higher proportion of conductive hearing loss than the control group. The patients with PDB and skull involvement presented a more severe hearing loss compared with the subjects without skull involvement. Skull involvement and age were found to be risk factors for hearing loss.
