Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss that developes after surgery which has been done under general anesthesia is quite rare and mostly occurs after otologic and coronary artery bypass surgery. Case-report: A 43 year old female patient who developed right sided hearing loss 6-7 h after a total thyroidectomy operation was diagnosed as sudden sensorineural hearing loss and treated succ...

OBJECTIVE To identify whether patients with diabetes have a higher incidence of sensorineural hearing loss than the general population and examine whether control of diabetes is related to severity of hearing loss. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective database review; complete data mining of electronic medical record from 1989 to present. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Electronic medica...

MATERIAL AND METHODS The TEN test was applied in three groups: G1(5 women with...

I N T R O D U C T I O N Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a common finding with an exhaustive list of etiologies. Rapidly progressive sensorineural hearing loss is quite distressing to patients as they are abruptly required to function with a reduced level of sensation of their environment. Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) is a rare diagnosis and frequently omitted from the differential d...

It is well known that head trauma may cause hearing loss, which can be either conductive or sensorineural. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and olfactory dysfunction due to head trauma are also well known. The association between sensorineural hearing loss and anosmia, following head trauma, is extremely rare. Two rare cases of post-traumatic occurrence of hearing loss, olfactory dysfunctio...

Individuals with sensorineural hearing loss often report frustration with speech being loud but not clear, especially in background noise. Despite advanced digital technology, hearing aid users may resort to removing their hearing aids in noisy environments due to the perception of excessive loudness. In an animal model, sensorineural hearing loss results in greater auditory nerve coding of the...

PURPOSE This study aimed to correlate probable predisposing factors for sensorineural hearing loss in elderly by investigating the audiologic characteristics and frequency of mutations in genes considered responsible for non-syndromic hearing loss. METHODS Sixty elderly patients were separated into two groups: the Case Group, composed of 30 individuals, 21 females and nine males, all 60 years...

regardless of severity, earlier intervention to correct hearing loss in children improves speech development and conversational abilities. a cross-sectional study was performed on 230 neonates who were at risk of hearing loss in tehran university of medical sciences hospitals between september 2000 and february 2002. hearing was examined before the 3rd month by auditory brainstem responses (abr...
