Conclusion: In nonsegmental vitiligo patients, population of higher skin types of various extent and both sexes, impairment of pigment cells in the visual apparatus could not be detected, whereas auditory abnormalities were detected through audiometry in 13.3%. It is therefore important in those patients to guard against further otological damage, by avoidance of high noise jobs or ototoxic drugs and by considering routine audiometric check-ups.
