ABSTRACT: Peri-operative hearing impairment is a poorly reported morbidity following any type of anaesthesia. We report a case where the patient developed temporary hearing impairment after a gynaecological surgery. This recovered in a couple of week time. The causes of such hearing impairment in various types of anaesthesia are discussed.
