Sumario:Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome of unknown etiology, characterized by chronic and generalized pain of the musculoskeletal system that can alter the quality of life of people who present it from a personal, social, academic and work perspective. FM is considered the second most common “rheumatic” disorder, after osteoarthritis. In addition to pain, as it is a syndromic condition, patients may present fatigue and sleep disturbances, which are frequently combined with sensory, motor, vegetative, cognitive and affective symptoms. In relation to auditory manifestations, different authors have observed a high prevalence of otological symptoms such as hearing loss, hypersensitivity to sound and tinnitus, among others. In this sense, it is important to consider hearing assessment in the evaluation of the syndrome, this would allow the implementation of a multidisciplinary and personalized therapeutic intervention that considers both the symptoms and the needs and environment of the patient.
