For severe hearing loss, the CHADS2-H group had a significantly lower rate of VS than the CHADS2-L group (OR 0 [95% CI 0.00–0.612]; P=0.007). These results indirectly support the hypothesis that a primary cause of severe idiopathic SSNHL in those at high risk of stroke might be a...
Around half of patients experiencing SSHL show some degree of spontaneous recovery without any treatment. For those with mild to severe hearing loss falling within the ‘steroid-effective zone’, there is a high likelihood of recovery (75-80%) when treated with stero...
Some people with severe hearing loss are candidates forcochlear implants, devices that replace the three small bones of the middle ear to enable the deaf and hard of hearing to hear sound. Modern technology has also made it a little easier to adapt to sudden hearing loss. Captioning on movies...
Severe hearing loss was associated with being AECA-positive in 8/11 cases. During follow-up, 25: 32 patients improved their hearing and 17 of these patients were AECA-negative. The seven cases without hearing improvement were all AECA-positive. In patients with SSHL, immune-mediated vascular ...
Conclusions and significance: SSNHL during pregnancy often occurred in the second trimester or the last trimester with a severe hearing loss, the most audiogram configurations are flat and profound. Dextran-40 is a safe and beneficial therapy for SSNHL patients during pregnancy and adjuvant intra...
Recovery was observed mainly in patients with moderate (71.4%) and severe hearing deficiency (69.2%).Corticosteroids are the less controversed treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss. 展开 关键词: etiopathogeny prognostic factors sudden hearing loss treatment ...
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a rare, severe condition that affects approximately 5 to 20 of 100 000 people yearly in high-income countries.23,24 In 40% to 60% of cases, hearing will recover to normal levels in a few weeks of follow-up.25,26 It is possible that a delay in ...
The cochlea is a target organ that is susceptible to compromised blood circulation because of high metabolic demands and end-arterial blood supply. Although the pathogenesis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is still controversial, ischemia in the inner ear due to posterior circulation, in...
(Stachler et al., 2012; Editorial Board, Chinese Journal of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery. 2015). It has been reported that outcomes may be poor in patients older than sixty years or younger than fifteen years. Patients with more severe hearing loss or vertigo at onset, and those...
Although cochlear venous insufficiency has been considered to cause sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL), there is insufficient clinical evidence to support this hypothesis. We sought to determine whether there is a correlation between draining patte
