The aim of this study is to review the research findings on hearing loss caused by meningitis. A total of 20 studies that met the inclusion criteria were analysed. The results show that the mechanism of hearing loss is not clear, but many authors believe that it is due to hair cell destruction and canxium deposition. Early use of corticosteroids reduces the incidence of hearing loss. The duration of treatment initiation as well as the length of hospital stay were related to the prevalence and severity of hearing loss. Negative correlation between age and the rate of hearing loss. Timely cochlear implantation has been suggested as a measure of hearing improvement.
