    Rapid progressive sensorineural hearing damage as the early sign of a hematological illness is

    often found in patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. A 100-year- old man presented to our outpatient

    department with 2 hours history of bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). After the

    hematological, bone marrow and radiological workup, the patient was found to have chronic myelogenous

    leukemia.

    The patient was identifi ed as having unexplained SSNHL and was admitted for treatment, but his

    hematological investigations indicated that he had an undiagnosed form of leukemia. The possible

    pathogenesis of developing SSNHL from CML is discussed here within the report with highlights of

    differential diagnosis of SSNHL.
