| Abstract: | Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) remains a controversial problem with respect to etiology and the factors that might predict prognosis.Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is commonly encountered in audiologic and otolaryngologic practice. SSNHL is most commonly defined as sensorineural hearing loss of 30dB or greater over at least three contiguous audiometric frequencies occurring within a 72-hr period. Although the differential for SSNHL is vast, for the majority of patients an etiologic factor is not identified.We used logistical regression analysis to determine which factors are most strongly related to outcome for patients with SSNHL. In so doing, we employed a retrospective study. The study group consisted of 122 patients (122 ears). The outcome of SSNHL was cured (full recovery) in 34, recovered (partial recovery) in 62, and no change in 26.A detailed history of demographic features, side of hearing loss, previous SSNHL and/or ear surgery, recent upper respiratory tract infection, season of admission, duration of symptoms 0 and the presence of co-morbid diseases was obtained. Radiological and audiological evaluations were recorded and treatment protocol was assessed to determine whether systemic steroids were administered or not. Treatment started ≤5 days was regarded as “early” and >5 days as “delayed”. |
