Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSHL), commonly known as sudden hearing loss, is a rapid loss of hearing that occurs within a short period, typically over a few hours to three days. It often affects one ear and can range from mild to complete hearing loss.
Viral Infections: Viral illnesses such as flu, mumps, or measles can lead to inner ear inflammation.
Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like lupus or multiple sclerosis may attack inner ear cells.
Circulatory Issues: Reduced blood supply to the ear can result in hearing loss.
Trauma or Injury: Head injuries or sudden loud noise exposure can damage the auditory system.
Medications: Ototoxic drugs, such as certain antibiotics and chemotherapy medications, may harm the inner ear.
Neurological Disorders: Conditions like multiple sclerosis or tumors (acoustic neuroma) can cause hearing impairment.
Rapid loss of hearing in one ear.
A feeling of fullness or pressure in the affected ear.
Ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
Dizziness or balance issues (vertigo).
Muffled or distorted sounds.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Increases oxygen supply to the inner ear, promoting cell repair and recovery.
Corticosteroids: Reduces inflammation and improves chances of hearing recovery.
Antiviral or Antibiotic Medications: Used when infections are suspected as the cause.
Hearing Aids or Cochlear Implants: Assist in cases where hearing loss becomes permanent.
Lifestyle Adjustments: Avoiding loud noises and ototoxic medications can prevent further damage.
Protect ears from loud noise exposure by using earplugs.
Manage chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, which can affect blood circulation.
Seek medical attention for persistent ear infections.
Be cautious with medications that can damage hearing, consulting a doctor before use.
