[Clinical analysis of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss with vertigo and without vertigo].

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and treatments of patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss（ISSHL） with or without vertigo. Method:One hundred and twenty ISSHL cases were divided into vertigo group (n=36) , without vertigo group (n=84) , and with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo group (n=15). All patients were in regular treatment. Besides, according to the types of BPPV, patients do the Epley maneuver or Barbecue roll maneuver. We summarized the result and treatment of the patients. Result:The audiometric curve of ISSHL with vertigo were mainly at flat type. After treatment of the ISSHL patients were better than the patients with vertigo in the degrees of hearing loss . Furthermore, the rate of the patients of marked efficiency, efficiency and total efficiency of ISSHL was lower than the ones without.The patients with BPPV, including 12 cases of posterior semicircular canal and the 3 cases of lateral semicircular canal, were all ipsilateral. Conclusion:ISSHL with vertigo group lost hearing is severer than ISSHL without vertigo. Thus the hearing and the treatment effect were worse.The symptoms without vertigo in ISSHL were better than the patients with vertigo.
