SSNHL
• Incidence: 5-20 per 100,000• 4,000 new cases/year in US• Idiopathic • Hearing loss at least 30 dB over 3 contiguous
frequency • Onset of hearing loss occurs in less than 72
hours• Recovery rate without treatment 32% - 79%
– Usually within 2 weeks of onset– Only 36% with complete recovery
• No middle ear disease• Otologic emergency!

SSNHL• Clinical Presentation
– Sudden onset hearing loss• Less than 3 days
– Usually unilateral• Left side possibly more common (55%)• Bilateral 2%
– Median age 40-54– Male = Female– Awakening from sleep– Hearing a “popping” prior to hearing
loss– Aural fullness– Tinnitus– Vertigo

EtiologyViral infection
• Association of SSNHL with viral URI in 25% - 63%
• Serology confirming active viral infection– HSV, VZV, CMV, influenza, measles
parainfluenza, rubeola, mumps, rubella– Immunoreactivity against virus
• Histopathology of human temporal bones– Atrophy of organ of Corti, spiral ganglion,
tectorial membrane– Hair cell loss– Unraveling of myelin

EtiologyVascular injury
• Sudden onset suggesting infarction– Perlman (1959) demonstrated loss of
cochlear microphonic 60 seconds after occlusion of labyrinthine artery in guinea pig
– Polycythemia ,Buerger’s, macroglobulinemia, sickle cell, fat embolism, DM

EtiologyIntracochlear membrane rupture
• Loss of endocochlear potential due to mixing of endolymph and perilymph
• Gussen (1981) histologic evidence• Fallen out of favor
Autoimmune cross-reacting circulation Ab

SDS• Tympanogram• ABR
![Page 9: SSNHL By Saisuree Nivatwongs ENT PMK. SSNHL Incidence: 5-20 per 100,000 4,000 new cases/year in US Idiopathic Hearing loss at least 30 dB over 3 contiguous](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022100508/56649cf55503460f949c382e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Radiograph • MRI with Gd
0.8-2 %of pt with SSNHL have been diagnosed CPA /IAC tumors
• Non-contrasted CT temporal bone : R/o congenital malformation

Laboratory Evaluation
– CBC with diff• Polycythemia, leukemia,
thrombocytosis– FBS , Electrolytes– Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)– FTA-Abs (Syphilis)– Coagulation profile– Thyroid function testing– Lipid profile– BUN, Creatinine– UA– ANA , rheumatoid factor , viral study

Prognosis
• Severity of HL• Audiogram shape• Presence of vertigo• Age
• Without Rx : 30-65 % will experience complete or partial recovery
![Page 12: SSNHL By Saisuree Nivatwongs ENT PMK. SSNHL Incidence: 5-20 per 100,000 4,000 new cases/year in US Idiopathic Hearing loss at least 30 dB over 3 contiguous](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022100508/56649cf55503460f949c382e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Medical Rx • Bed rest• Low salt diet < 2
gm/day • Diuretics : HCTZ• Steroids
![Page 13: SSNHL By Saisuree Nivatwongs ENT PMK. SSNHL Incidence: 5-20 per 100,000 4,000 new cases/year in US Idiopathic Hearing loss at least 30 dB over 3 contiguous](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022100508/56649cf55503460f949c382e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Steroids
• Historical perspective: Reduce inner ear inflammation
• Rx as early as posible• Oral, IV 10 days • Cannot be used for all patients
– Diabetics, ulcers, TB, glaucoma
– Intratympanic steroids
![Page 14: SSNHL By Saisuree Nivatwongs ENT PMK. SSNHL Incidence: 5-20 per 100,000 4,000 new cases/year in US Idiopathic Hearing loss at least 30 dB over 3 contiguous](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022100508/56649cf55503460f949c382e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Medical Rx– Antivirals– Volume expanders :
Dextran , hypaque– Vasodilators : Histamine
phosphate , Ca antagonist , nicotinic acid
– Anticoagulants : heparin– Carbogen inhalation
(95%O2,5%CO2)
![Page 15: SSNHL By Saisuree Nivatwongs ENT PMK. SSNHL Incidence: 5-20 per 100,000 4,000 new cases/year in US Idiopathic Hearing loss at least 30 dB over 3 contiguous](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022100508/56649cf55503460f949c382e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SSNHL
• Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
– Wei (2003, Updated 2006): Steroids for idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss
– Only 2 prospective, double-blind, randomized, controlled trials evaluating therapy of SSNHL
![Page 16: SSNHL By Saisuree Nivatwongs ENT PMK. SSNHL Incidence: 5-20 per 100,000 4,000 new cases/year in US Idiopathic Hearing loss at least 30 dB over 3 contiguous](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022100508/56649cf55503460f949c382e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Intratympanic steroid
• Administration of steroids to middle ear round window niche/membrane directly targeting the inner ear
• Very little systemic absorption– May benefit patients for whom
systemic steroids are contraindicated
• Higher concentration to end organ• May salvage hearing loss when non-
responsive to systemic steroids
![Page 17: SSNHL By Saisuree Nivatwongs ENT PMK. SSNHL Incidence: 5-20 per 100,000 4,000 new cases/year in US Idiopathic Hearing loss at least 30 dB over 3 contiguous](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022100508/56649cf55503460f949c382e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Advantage of IT steroids
• May be used when systemic steroids are contraindicated or refused
• Greater concentration achieved at target end organ
• May be performed in outpatient setting
• Possible use for salvage of hearing • Relatively low complication rate
![Page 18: SSNHL By Saisuree Nivatwongs ENT PMK. SSNHL Incidence: 5-20 per 100,000 4,000 new cases/year in US Idiopathic Hearing loss at least 30 dB over 3 contiguous](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022100508/56649cf55503460f949c382e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Take Home Messages:
– SSNHL is an otologic emergency– Systemic steroids are mainstay of
therapy– Better prognosis if treatment
started early (within 4 weeks of onset)
– IT steroids may be an alternative when systemic steroids are contraindicated
– IT steroids is another option when oral steroids fail to restore hearing
