Thus, the present study tested this hypothesis by comparing the rate of VS in patients with SSNHL, who were stratified by CHADS2score and severity of hearing loss. We then estimated the population of idiopathic SSNHL patients who are at risk for stroke and atherosclerosis by using CHADS2scores...
Testing to establish this diagnosis is individual to each patient, but usually will include blood tests for anemia and diseases of the circulation, an MR or CT angiogram test to visualize the blood vessels in the head and neck, and ahearing testandENGtest to exclude ear disease. Other common...

The hearing screening test was conducted with an audiometer (MA27) at 25 dB at 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 Hz bilaterally. This was followed by a threshold test conducted for each ear using the same frequency levels. Eighteen of the 160 enrolled subjects did not receive an ...
Background: We assessed whether detection of stroke underlying acute vertigo using HINTS plus (head-impulse test, nystagmus type, test of skew, hearing loss) can be improved by video-oculography for automated head-impulse test (V-HIT) analysis. Methods: We evaluated patients with acute vestibular...
