Overview
Different factors contribute to prognosis of hearing loss and psychological complications associated with deafness are a big concern for physicians.
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Natural History
65% of patients with sudden idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss recover completely within 14 days, independent of any type of medical or surgical treatment. There is a fundamental difference in the behavior of apical and basal cochlea losses recovery and hearing recovery is always better at low than at high frequencies.
Complications
Age-related hearing loss has been associated with[1][2]
- Worse quality of life
- Depression
- Social isolation
- Functional decline
- Fall risk
- Increased hospitalization
- Increase Health care use
- Accelerated Cognitive decline
- Dementia
Prognosis
The prognosis for hearing recovery for idiopathic SSNHL depends on a variety of things including the severity of hearing loss, the shape of the audiogram, age of onset, presence of vertigo, and presence or absence of other risk factors.[3][4]
Prognosis can be predicted according to the slope of the audiogram taken at the start of hearing difficulty (low-frequency losses do better than high-frequency losses), Inflammatory markers, erythrocyte sedimentation rates, hearing at 8 kHz, in some cases, it depends on speech discrimination scores and spatial disorientation symptoms.[5]
