Background  Auditory loss is a common deficit in horses with temporohyoid osteoarthropathy ( THO ), however, recovery of function is unknown.    Hypothesis/Objectives  To investigate neurologic function with emphasis in audition in horses with  THO  after treatment. To describe anatomical alterations of the petrous temporal bone that might result in auditory loss.    Animals  Twenty‐four horses with a clinical diagnosis of  THO .    Methods  Prospective study. A brainstem auditory evoked response ( BAER ) study was done as part of the criteria for inclusion in horses with a clinical diagnosis of  THO  from the years of 2005 to 2014. Physical and neurologic status and  BAER  findings were recorded. Brainstem auditory evoked response variables were compared by using Wilcoxon sign test. Fisher's exact test was also used. Significance was set at  P  < 0.05.    Results  The most common signs included auditory loss (100% of horses), vestibular and facial nerve dysfunction (83%), and exposure ulcerative keratitis (71%). Concurrent left laryngeal hemiparesis was observed in 61% of horses through endoscopy. Auditory dysfunction was bilateral in 50% of the cases (complete and partial), and unilateral affecting more commonly the right ear (R = 8, L = 4). Short‐ and long‐term follow‐up revealed persistent auditory loss in all horses based on abnormal response to sound, and further confirmed through a  BAER  in 8 horses.    Conclusions and Clinical Importance  Auditory dysfunction appears to be a permanent neurologic deficit in horses diagnosed with  THO  despite overall neurologic improvement.
