  • Journal:
    The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 125 / Issue 6 / June 2011

  • Objective:

    To report a case of fluctuating hearing due to auditory aura, as an unusual presentation of temporal lobe epilepsy.

    Methods:

    Case report and review of English language literature on temporal lobe epilepsy and auditory aura.

    Results:

    A 31-year-old man presented with intermittent symptoms of bilateral fullness in the ears associated with deafness. He was subsequently diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy. Further enquiry revealed a family history of epilepsy.

    Conclusion:

    Auditory aura as a presentation of temporal lobe epilepsy is rarely encountered in otolaryngological practice. This case highlights the importance of obtaining detailed information on epilepsy, including any family history of epilepsy, as a routine part of history-taking in patients presenting with fluctuating hearing loss.
