Superficial siderosis: A potentially important cause of genetic as well as
non-genetic deafness.

Superficial siderosis is an important disease that is increasingly being
recognized as a cause of sensorineural hearing loss. Hemosiderin, resulting
from repeated episodes of subarachnoid bleeding, is deposited preferentially on
the surface of the eighth nerve, cerebellum, and brain stem as a consequence of
glial catabolism of ferritin within those structures. This deposition
eventually results in destruction and demyelination within the central nervous
system, leading to the cardinal clinical findings of superficial siderosis:
hearing loss, ataxia, and myelopathy. This mechanism may contribute to the
pathogenesis of several forms of genetic deafness, and should be considered as
a diagnostic possibility in cases of late onset deafness even in the absence of
an overt history of subarachnoid bleeding. Copyright 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Hi Doe,,, That is a current very informative post of copyrighted material.
I do not know if your using it is legal. I also wonder if you post this
information in a correct newsgroup about hearing loss. I found nothing in
it about arthritis.

The high prevalence of hearing loss in autoimmune diseases supports the
importance of audiometric evaluation in such patients. Further investigations
are needed for a better knowledge of the middle and inner ear involvement in
patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Very good and thanks for that. I will pass on the wiseass remarks and
answering a question with a question.
The truth of it is that a person can a problem when RA attacks the
inner ear or the cartilage in the small bones behind the ear drum. They
have joints just like a persons hands or feet and are subject to what RA
does best. Of coarse RA attacks a person vascular system which can cause
blood supply problem with the eyes, ears, voice box,,ect.ect.
