Sudden deafness is a sudden onset of unexplained sensorineural deafness with tinnitus, a feeling of stuffiness or fullness in the ear, and vertigo. It is usually unilateral hearing loss, but can also be bilateral hearing loss. Cui Chaoyang, Department of Otolaryngology, Shandong Qianfo Mountain Hospital
Most patients have a history of cold or vascular disease before the onset of the disease. Most of them do not have any aura, but the hearing loss occurs suddenly in the morning or after waking up from a nap, or after mood swings or overexertion.
The prognosis of the disease is closely related to the time of consultation, generally speaking, the shorter the time between the onset and the consultation, the better the treatment effect. Therefore, it is very important for people who suffer from this disease to seek timely medical attention.
