This case study summarizes findings in an adult male, aged 57, who presented to the Adult Audiology Clinic with aural atresia in the right ear resulting in a conductive hearing loss and a sudden sensorineural hearing loss in the left ear. Treatment options included reconstruction surgery in the right ear, bone anchored hearing aid in the right ear to overcome the conductive hearing loss, bone anchored hearing aid in the left ear for single sided deafness, and intratympanic steroid injections in the left ear to salvage hearing.This case study highlights that when a patient is educated on all available options the patient is then able to make a decision comfortable to him and to help improve his hearing.

Loss Of Hearing

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a rare but emergent condition that afflicts approximately 4,000 Americans annually (Ciorba, Faita, Bianchini, Aimoni, & Scanelli, 2013; Scapa & Friedland, 2009; Stachler et al., 2012). It causes unilateral nerve loss of hearing that may not recover left untreated. Because SSNHL is uncommon, practitioners may be unaware of the urgency or the protocol for immediate testing and treatment. Aural fullness, a common presenting symptom of SSNHL, overlaps with more common outer and middle ear problems resulting in misdiagnosis and/or delayed diagnosis and treatment. This case study will lead practitioners through the necessary diagnostic reasoning process to identify, diagnose, treat, and refer SSNHL patients effectively.
