[Endothelial dysfunction as a pathogenetic factor of sensorineural hearing loss].

Abstract

Chronic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a common disease that leads to disability of the population. Despite the many reports devoted to SNHL, the question of the pathogenesis of the disease is still open. Many researchers consider the development of SNHL as a manifestation of microangiopathy. The mechanism of development of microangiopathy in SNHL is multifactorial, but most researchers agree that endothelial dysfunction (ED) triggers a complex of pathological changes in the vessels of the inner ear.

Objective: Review of the results of scientific research in recent years on the problem of etiopathogenesis of sensorineural hearing loss from the perspective of endothelial dysfunction in the formation of auditory disorders.
