Abstract
A 19-year-old female visited our hospital with the chief complaint of hearing loss. We felt that she was suffering from a psychological illness. We thought she had no lost of hearing, and we suspected she was feigning illness at the first medical examination. A subsequent hearing test as a result bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. In cases of bilateral sudden deafness, the possibility of the mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) characteristic of denaturation disease, should be investigated. Even if we suspect feigning further testing is requested to obtain a definitive diagnosis.
