Abstract
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease has been described as an autoimmune disease which targets melanocytes and causes visual disturbance. In addition, it causes auditory and equilibrium disorders occasionally. In this study, we report a case of Harada's disease with sensorineural hearing loss.<BR>A 51-year-old male visited Aichi Medical University complaining of visual and hearing disturbances. An audiogram demonstrated moderate sensorineural hearing loss bilaterally. Visual and auditory acuity improved after administration of steroids. The hearing disturbance in this case may have been caused by an autoimmune reaction to melanocytes in the inner ear, similar to the previously reported phenomenon in the eye.
