Sickle cell disease is a genetic blood disorder that affects red blood cells, characterized by abnormal hemoglobin. This leads to the sickle-like shape of red blood cells, causing blockages in blood vessels. The consequences include pain, anemia, fatigue, and organ damage. While the primary manifestations of sickle cell disease typically involve hematological and vascular complications, recent attention has been drawn to its potential impact on auditory function. Hearing loss severity can vary among individuals living with sickle cell disease, ranging from mild to severe and can occur gradually or suddenly. In this column, we delve into the mechanisms through which sickle cell disease could contribute to hearing impairment and the implications of this connection. Vascular Com...
