Multivariate analysis of hearing outcomes in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
Acta Oto-laryngologica. Supplementum 2010 November
CONCLUSIONS: Contralateral hearing loss is significantly correlated with poor hearing outcomes in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL).
BACKGROUND: The hearing outcome in patients with ISSNHL was analyzed using multiple variables.
METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted using 89 patients with ISSNHL. Patients within 40 dB HL of average hearing levels and/or patients whose hearing loss was restricted to low frequencies were excluded. The influence of pre-existing conditions on hearing outcome was analyzed using a polytomous universal model. Pre-existing conditions analyzed included hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and contralateral hearing loss. In addition, the severity of hearing loss, age group, and the existence of vertigo were analyzed concomitantly.
RESULTS: Hearing recovery was significantly reduced in patients with a past history of contralateral hearing loss.
