A prospective study was designed to evaluate the effects of a single session of hemodialysis on the parameters of hearing. We carried out serial audiological tests (tympanometry, pure-tone, speech and high frequency audiometry) in 19 patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis. Tests were performed on patients 1 h before and 2 and 24 h after a randomly selected session of hemodialysis. The results of audiological tests indicated no significant adverse effect of a single session of hemodialysis on hearing.
