Abstract

Objectives

This study aimed to determine the prognostic value of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients.

Methods

The study included 30 subjects with unilateral idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL). Each patient was evaluated four times: at baseline and after one week, one month, and three months of treatment. During each visit, each patient was subjected to full audiological history, otoscopic examination, basic audiological evaluations, and transiently evoked and distortion product otoacoustic emission (TEOAEs & DEOAEs).

Results

The hearing thresholds (frequency range 250–8000 Hz) and word recognition scores of patients with detectable TEOAEs and DPOAEs improved significantly, whereas no significant improvements were observed in those with no response.

Conclusion

Hearing improvement is better in patients with detectable TEOAEs and DPOAEs. As a result, TEOAEs and DPOAEs are recommended as routine tests in all SSNHL patients to predict outcomes and monitor treatment as TEOAEs and DPOAEs reflect the cochlear OHCs activity.

特发性突发性感音神经性听力损失患者的耳声发射值

目的探讨耳声发射(oae)对特发性突发性感音神经性耳聋患者的预后价值。方法选取30例单侧特发性突发性感音神经性听力损失患者作为研究对象。每位患者在基线、治疗一周、一个月和三个月后进行四次评估。每次就诊时，每位患者都接受了完整的听力学病史、耳镜检查、基本听力学评估、瞬时诱发和畸变产物耳声发射(teoae &DEOAEs)。结果teoae和dpoae患者的听力阈值(频率范围250 ~ 8000hz)和单词识别评分均有明显改善，而无反应组无明显改善。结论teoae和dpoae患者的听力改善效果较好。因此，teoae和dpoae被推荐作为所有SSNHL患者的常规检查，以预测预后和监测治疗，因为teoae和dpoae反映了耳蜗OHCs的活性。

期刊介绍： Journal of Otology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes research findings from disciplines related to both clinical and basic science aspects of auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear. This journal welcomes submissions describing original experimental research that may improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying problems of basic or clinical significance and treatment of patients with disorders of the auditory and vestibular systems. In addition to original papers the journal also offers invited review articles on current topics written by leading experts in the field. The journal is of primary importance for all scientists and practitioners interested in audiology, otology and neurotology, auditory neurosciences and related disciplines. Journal of Otology welcomes contributions from scholars in all countries and regions across the world.
