7. Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is a non-specific symptom that can be associated with many conditions and also can be a consequence of the normal aging process. Depending on the cause of the problem, this symptom may appear gradually or suddenly. Furthermore, hearing loss can be classified depending on the location of the problem into: sensorineural (if the problem is located in the inner ear), conductive (if the problem involves the outer and/or inner ear), and mixed (when the problem is a combination of the other two types).
Tertiary syphilis is the late stage of the disease and it can affect many organs in the body. As the infection reaches the central nervous system (CNS) the patient may experience gradual hearing loss as one of the most common symptoms associated with this stage of the condition.
