Abstract

Osteoporosis is a very common medical condition that may cause bone resorption and deposition in auditory structures. The aim of the study is to assess the relationship between osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and hearing loss. According to published papers on osteoporosis leading to hearing loss, the pathophysiology and manifestations of the problems of the inner ear are related to bone metabolic diseases such as osteoporosis. To be exact, demineralization of the bone tissue and bone resorption, which are typical procedures of osteoporosis, affect the bone structures of the hearing system and lead to hearing loss in postmenopausal women.
