SUMMARY A patient with moderately severe mucous membrane pemphigoid is described. The onset of deafness was associated with the appearance of postero‐superior retraction pockets in both eardrums. It is postulated that this was due to mucous membrane pemphigoid involving the mucosa of the middle ear. We are not aware of this complication having been described previously.
