AbstractObjectives:To emphasise the importance of considering a diagnosis of early acquired syphilis in all sexually active adults, and to review the ENT manifestations and treatment of acquired syphilis.Case report:A 24-year-old woman presented with sudden hearing loss, and subsequently developed clinical features suggestive of secondary syphilis. She was seen in the departments of ENT, dermatology, rheumatology and infectious diseases before a correct diagnosis was made. Treatment resulted in only partial recovery of hearing.Conclusions:With the exponential rise in syphilis cases in the UK, there has been a re-emergence of presenting manifestations that had previously become rare. Early syphilis should be considered in all sexually active adults who present with deafness, as prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for maximum recovery.

AbstractBackground:Sudden sensorineural hearing loss rarely occurs in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia.Case report:We present a case report of a patient who presented with sudden sensorineural hearing loss as the first manifestation of chronic myeloid leukaemia, and review the mechanisms responsible for sudden sensorineural hearing loss in leukaemic patients.Results:A 31-year-old female presented to our clinic with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus. Pure tone audiometry revealed profound sensorineural hearing loss in the left ear at all frequencies. During an investigation into her hearing loss, the patient was found to have chronic myeloid leukaemia.Conclusion:Every case of sudden sensorineural hearing loss must be carefully evaluated, and haematological disorders must be considered in the differential diagnosis of sudden hearing loss.
