dc.description.abstractTreatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is longer and associated with more significant side-effects than drug susceptible TB. Second line injectable therapy using kanamycin, amikacin or capreomycin is associated with irreversible hearing loss. There is a scarcity of literature regarding the frequency of hearing loss as well as associated risk factors, particularly with long term use. This study aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors for hearing loss among patients receiving second line injectable drugs.en_ZA
