Abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant tumor that grows in the nasopharynx with predilection in the Fossa of Rossenmuller and roof of the nasopharynx. Clinical manifestations of nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be divided in Four categories: nasopharyngeal symptoms, symptoms of tubal dysfunction, cranial base involvement symptoms, and symptoms of neck mass. Hearing Loss is a common symptom in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma due to dysfunction of the Eustachian tube. The objective is to determine the characteristics of hearing loss in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients at AR Bunda hospital Prabumulih. Descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample was all patients diagnosed with NPC and performed an audiometric examination at AR Bunda hospital Prabumulih from June 2018 until September 2019. 14 patients diagnosed with NPC found 9 male patients (64.28%) and 5 female patients (35.72%). The age most often is age group 41-60 years. The most common hearing loss is conductive hearing loss (50%) in the right ear with a moderate degree (57.14%) and conductive hearing loss (57.2%) in the left ear with a moderate degree (50%). Based on the location of the nasopharyngeal mass, it was found to be bilateral (50%). The highest incidence of NPC at the group age of 41-60 years. The most common hearing loss is moderate-conductive hearing loss.
