Hearing loss has long been known to be a complication of Paget's disease of bone. Older ideas about the mechanisms of hearing loss are being replaced by a new view based on experimental evidence from patients. Studies reviewed show no evidence of auditory nerve dysfunction and confirm a cochlear site of lesion. A loss of bone mineral density in the cochlear capsule is associated with both a high-tone hearing loss and a low-tone air-bone gap.
