Summary: The authors describe the presence of goitre associated with impaired hearing in
Pendred’s syndrome in a young woman. The association of impaired thyroid function and hypacusia
is known and was described. Hypacusia is associated with three basic types of thyropathies: endemic
cretenism. Pendred’s syndrome and hypothyroidism which develops in adult age. The authors
demonstrate on the case of a young woman impaired thyroid function associated with gradually
progressing hypacusia - practically deafness. The authors proved the concurrent hearing disorder
and impaired thyroid function. They did not prove pathology of the cochlea (Mondi’s type) in this
patient.
The perchlorate test was not indicated in the patient. Its contribution is not unequivocal form data
in the literature. The implemented examinations and revealed facts are sufficient to establish the
diagnosis of Pendred’s syndrome. The authors draw attention to the necessity to pay attention to
hypacusia in connection with thyropaties in ENT patients.
