Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Reports of sudden hearing loss as the first sign of an intracranial aneurysm are sparse and published primarily in the neurologic literature. A case report is presented in which the initial signs and symptoms of a lobular aneurysm in the posterior communicating artery were the sudden onset of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and headache. Following evaluation and identification of the aneurysm, this patient underwent a craniotomy with clipping of the aneurysm; hearing sensitivity improved dramatically following surgery. The world literature is reviewed for cases in which aneurysms have initially occurred as hearing loss, tinnitus, or both. Intracranial aneurysm is discussed as a rare, potential source of a sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss

AbstractBackground:Bilateral sensorineural hearing loss associated with recurrent urticarial skin lesions may be signs of underlying Muckle–Wells syndrome. Previous reports have described the hearing loss to be progressive in nature.Method:To our knowledge, this paper presents the first published case of sudden onset, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss associated with urticarial vasculitis due to underlying Muckle–Wells syndrome.Results:The patient underwent a cochlear implantation with a modest outcome.Conclusion:Cochlear implantation may help to rehabilitate sudden hearing loss associated with this condition, but early diagnosis may allow treatment with interleukin-1β inhibitors such as anakinra.

Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Diffuse infiltration of the meninges by metastatic carcinoma (meningeal carcinomastosis) is a potential complication of systemic malignancy. It may present with a variety of neurological symptoms as any aspect of the neuraxis can be affected. Often there is a history of pre-existing malignancy.The authors describe a case with an initial presentation of sudden onset profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The underlying pathology was found to be an occult breast carcinoma, a previously unreported finding.The role of cerebrospinal fluid cytology and radio-imaging in diagnosis is discussed. All previously reported cases of sudden hearing loss and meningeal carcinomatosis are reviewed.

Cranial Fossa

Sensorineural hearing loss of sudden onset may be the presenting symptom in up to 14% of patients with acoustic neuroma. We present the first reported case of sudden hearing loss in an only hearing ear with recovery to normal levels after steroid therapy on four separate occasions. Evaluation revealed a 1.5-cm acoustic neuroma. After middle cranial fossa decompression, a fifth episode with recovery after steroid use was documented. A review of the recent literature is presented, emphasizing the possible causation of sudden sensorineural hearing loss with recovery to normal in patients with acoustic neuroma. Modalities of therapy for the dilemma of the acoustic neuroma in an only hearing ear are discussed, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. An aggressive approach to the evaluation of the cause of sudden hearing loss is suggested.

Intratympanic Steroids

OBJECTIVE: We sought to describe our experience with intratympanic steroid treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss after failure of intravenous steroid treatment. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: We conducted a nonrandomized prospective clinical trial. Fifty patients presenting with sudden onset idiopathic hearing loss were treated intravenously over five days. After this period, patients with treatment failure (18 cases) were offered intratympanic steroid treatment. Nine patients refused, whereas the other nine patients received three weekly injections of methylprednisolone. Recovery of hearing was reported as improvement of more than 15 dB in pure tone average. RESULTS: Intratympanic steroid treatment improved hearing loss in five patients (55%). This is significant compared with those patients who refused intratympanic treatment, who showed no further improvement ( P < 0.05). No serious adverse effects were observed. CONCLUSION: Intratympanic steroids significantly improve the recovery outcome of sudden hearing loss that had not recovered after intravenous steroid treatment. SIGNIFICANCE: Intratympanic steroids are an effective and safe therapy in sudden sensorineural hearing loss cases that are refractory to standard treatment.

Ototoxic Drug

We report a patient who developed sudden, bilateral, sensorineural hearing loss during therapeutic use of iloprost for Raynaud's phenomenon. The sudden hearing loss was attributed to iloprost use and completely reversed in eight days with conservative therapy. Iloprost may be a potentially ototoxic drug, causing sudden hearing loss.

Systemic Disorder

Sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss is a well recognized entity frequently encountered in otolaryngological practice. However, the combination of such deafness as part of a wider systemic disorder is fortunately rare. Almost 100 years after the syndrome was classified, we describe a case of Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada syndrome occurring unusually in a Caucasian woman and characterized by sudden hearing loss. A brief review of this rare condition is presented.

Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Biological age and rates of aging of patients with vibration disease and bilateral sensorineural hearing loss were studied. The biological age of patients exceeded the calendar age by an average of 7.36±0.36 years and the proper biological age by 10.79±0.72 years. The rate of biological aging of the examined patients was 1.14±0.08 times higher than the rate of aging of their healthy peers.

AbstractTwo cases of bilateral moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss due to oral administration of metronidazole are reported. There has been only one case report of deafness following metronidazole therapy in the world literature. The hearing loss recovered gradually in a period of four to six weeks following withdrawal of drug and oral steroid therapy. The possible mechanism of ototoxicity is discussed. Awareness by the treating physician of ototoxicity due to any drug is stressed.
