چکیده
Correspondence to: Dr James Overell, Institute of Neurological Sciences, Southern General Hospital, 1345 Govan Road, Glasgow, G51 4TF; j.overell@clinmed. gla.ac.uk _________________________ N eurologists may be tempted to regard deafness as ‘‘somebody else’s problem’’—generally the cause will lie within the remit of an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. While such an approach is often reasonable, there are a number of circumstances in which knowledge of deafness and the syndromes with which it can be associated can take on real importance. Neurologists need to structure their thinking about loss of hearing and be aware of the neurological syndromes that may present with deafness as a component. The complaint can thus be used as ‘‘part of the puzzle’’ when constructing a differential diagnosis in the neurology clinic, and acknowledged and referred to an ENT colleague when the problem is non-neurological.
