Abstract
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis are exposed to a variety of pharmac ologic agents capable of causing sensorineural hearing loss. We descri be such a patient who was eventually found to have an acoustic neuroma . The case illustrates the difficulty of diagnosing acoustic neuroma a nd the need for a high index of suspicion when unilateral hearing loss is detected. The evaluation of patients with sensorineural hearing lo ss is discussed.
