Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a very rare disease, and the symptoms can be vague. This case report serves as a reminder to take RP into consideration in patients with sudden hearing loss, with concurrent features of recurrent cartilaginous inflammation. A young lady presented with recurrent eye inflammation for two years and sought treatments from various general practitioners and ophthalmologists. Each attack was successfully controlled with a short course of oral or topical steroids. She later developed sudden onset aural perichondritis and severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and a diagnosis of RP was made after clinical and laboratory assessments. Delay in the diagnosis and treatment has led to permanent hearing loss in this patient.
