Differential Treatment Response of Auditory Hallucination in A Unilateral Hearing Impaired Patient: A Case Report
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The prevalence of schizophrenia among hearing impaired is nearly equal to that of the general population [1]. Both bilateral and unilateral auditory hallucinations in hearing impaired are thought to predispose them to develop schizophrenia [2]. Auditory hallucinations in patients with normal hearing may inadequately respond to antipsychotic medication [3]. There is no report that hallucinations (due to psychiatric disorders) in patients with hearing impairment respond differently to antipsychotics. Similarly there is no report that auditory hallucinations respond to antipsychotics differently in a patient with healthy and impaired ear. Here we are reporting a case of differential response of auditory hallucination to antipsychotics in a unilateral hearing impaired patient with schizophrenia.
