“…It is well known that some viral infections may cause hearing loss (Young 2020). For instance, sequelae of cytomegalovirus, rubella and measles can be sensorineural hearing loss (Cohen, Durstenfeld, and Roehm 2014).…”

Objective: This rapid systematic review investigated audio-vestibular symptoms associated with coronavirus. Design: The protocol for the rapid review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews and the review methods were developed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Risk of bias was assessed using the National Institute of Heath quality assessment tools. Study sample: After rejecting more than 2300 records, there were five case reports and two cross-sectional studies that met the inclusion criteria. Results: No records of audio-vestibular symptoms were reported with the earlier types of coronavirus (i.e. severe acute respiratory syndrome [SARS] and Middle East respiratory syndrome [MERS]). Reports of hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo have rarely been reported in individuals who tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2. Conclusion: Reports of audio-vestibular symptoms in confirmed COVID-19 cases are few, with mostly minor symptoms, and the studies are of poor quality. Emphasis over time is likely to shift from life-threatening concerns to longer-term health-related consequences such as audio-vestibular dysfunction. Highquality studies are needed to investigate the acute effects of COVID-19, as well as for understanding long-term risks, on the audio-vestibular system.

“…Due to unilateral involvement in most of the sudden SNHL cases, it may be difficult to demonstrate the relationship of this condition with an autoimmune disease. Therefore, it should not be ignored that immune-mediated SNHL can rarely occur with unilateral involvement in the initial period, similar to sudden SNHL [35,36].…”

“…The idea was suggested by the author that an autoimmune pathogenesis may be present in the etiology upon improvement of hearing after corticosteroid therapy in a patient with progressive bilateral idiopathic SNHL [34]. Since then, several cases of SNHL and acute/ subclinical audiovestibular dysfunction accompanied by various autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases including vitiligo, inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), Behçet's disease, Wegener's granulomatosis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, relapsing polychondritis, giant cell arteritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, Cogan's syndrome and Susac's syndrome, have been reported in the literature [29,35,36]. Current literature information shows that SNHL is the most common auditory symptom of systemic autoimmune diseases, but due to the Audiovestibular Dysfunction and Hearing Loss in Patients with Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.93992 different presentations (sudden or progressive) and severity (mild or severe) of SNHL, early correlation between symptom and systemic autoimmune disease may be difficult [29].…”

“…Although autoimmunity has been accused of sudden hearing loss for many years, interest in studies related to the inner ear involvement secondary to systemic autoimmune diseases has been gradually increasing in recent years [30,35]. In the literature about psoriatic disease-related hearing loss, firstly, Srikumar et al reported a 62-year-old male patient with PsA, who had been under methotrexate therapy, developed sudden onset of SNHL and recovered with oral corticosteroids.…”

Audiovestibular Dysfunction and Hearing Loss in Patients with Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis

An Overview and Management of Multiple Chronic Conditions

Psoriasis is now considered a T cell-mediated chronic systemic inflammatory disease rather than only a simple skin disease. The relationship and coexistence of this common disease with many other comorbidities have gained increasing attention in recent years. Although psoriatic skin lesions are seen frequently in the auricle and external auditory canal, there are not many studies evaluating the possible effect of psoriatic disease (psoriasis with or without joint involvement) on the auditory system. Hearing impairment detected in psoriasis patients is mostly seen as subclinical hearing loss at high frequencies, but it can also have a significant impact on patients' health and quality of life due to the possible risk of developing sudden sensorineural hearing loss. In this chapter, the frequency, pattern, and patient-related risk factors of hearing impairment and audiovestibular dysfunction in patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis were extensively reviewed and discussed. In conclusion, it was emphasized that subclinical sensorineural hearing loss is a neglected but an important comorbidity in patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The relationship between psoriatic disease and audiovestibular dysfunction supports the need for further studies aimed at better identification of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms, and accordingly to update diagnostic and even treatment approaches.

“…[1][2][3] Proposed etiologies of primary SD comprised viral infection, vascular insufficiency, autoimmune disorder and stress theory, while causes of secondary SSHL include neoplasm, stroke, and irradiation. [4][5][6][7][8] Farrell et al 9 first reported 4 cases of SSHL after dental surgery. Thereafter, sporadic SSHL cases related to dental procedures, that is, tooth extraction, endodontic treatment, anesthetic reagents, and so on, have been reported in the literature.…”

This study investigated the etiology and treatment outcome in sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) patients following dental procedure. During the past 2 decades, only 6 patients with SSHL following dental procedure were experienced including tooth extraction in 5 and endodontic treatment in 1. Three were males and 3 were females, with ages ranging from 10 to 75 years (median, 47 years). All patients underwent an inner ear test battery. Types of audiogram consisted of total deafness in 3 ears, flat-type loss in 2 ears, and high-tone loss in 1 ear. The pretreatment mean hearing level from 4 frequencies was 76 ± 37 dB for the lesion ears, significantly higher than 23 ± 15 dB for the opposite healthy ears. The treatment outcome is unsatisfactory. Five patients remained hearing unchanged 3 months after treatment. Only 1 (17%) patient had hearing improvement who was proved as having reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus. In conclusion, reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus may be one of the etiologies for SSHL patients following dental procedure. Serological assay coupled with MR imaging may help identify the etiology, determine the medication, and predict the outcome.
