Özet
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is the leading cause of intoxications that occur as a result of chemical agent inhalation, and affects all systems particularly the cardiovascular and central nervous system, causing fatal complications. Although it is known to cause cochleovestibular dysfunction, sudden hearing loss related to CO intoxication is encountered quite rarely. A case with bilateral sudden hearing loss occurring as a complication of carbon monoxide intoxication is presented in order to stress possible otologic effects which may occur besides systemic effects and possible physiopathologic mechanisms are discussed. © 2012 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
