Human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome AIDS-related hearing disorders.

After a brief discussion of the nature of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) disease process and its consequences, the article considers implications for the ear and hearing. One of the newest etiologic considerations for audiologists is pediatric autoimmune deficiency syndrome (PAIDS). Babies born to HIV-AIDS-positive mothers, and children who have acquired the disease, represent a new challenge to clinics. Symptoms, audiologic care, and management are considered.
