Electrocochleography in Congenital Hypothyroidism

Deafness in association with hypothyroidism has been well described. Animal experiments have demonstrated alterations of the normal electrocochleographic wave pattern in hypothyroidism and its correction with thyroid replacement therapy. In the present study a similar electrocochleographic response in a child with congenital hypothyroidism is reported.
