“…Despite the overall recovery rate being similar in the two groups, recovery rates were significantly higher in children than adults with profound deafness ( P <0.05), indicating that, at least in this group of patients, age was associated with a poorer prognosis. In addition, the recovery rates in both children and adults tended to decrease as the severity of hearing loss became more severe ( P =0.010), a finding consistent with that of a previous study [9]. …”

ObjectivesAlthough many studies have assessed sudden deafness in adults, sudden deafness has not been evaluated in children. We therefore evaluated the differences in sudden deafness between children and adults.MethodsWe compared clinical manifestations, including gender, audiogram pattern of initial hearing loss, and recovery rate after treatment in 87 children and 707 adults diagnosed with sudden deafness from September 2003 and August 2012.ResultsThere were no differences in sex, side, or audiogram between children and adults (P>0.05 each). Hearing recovery rates in children and adults were 72.4% and 70.6%, respectively (P>0.05). Both children and adults with mild hearing loss showed significantly greater hearing recovery rates than individuals with profound hearing loss (P<0.05 each). The percentage with initially mild and moderate hearing loss was higher in children than in adults, as were the recovery rates of children compared to adults with initially mild, moderate-severe, and profound hearing loss (P<0.05 each). In regard to final hearing outcome after treatment, a low percentage of children showed no improvement whereas a high percentage showed complete recovery; a higher percentage of children than of adults showed complete recovery (P<0.05). Recovery rate from profound hearing loss was significantly higher in children than in adults (60.0% vs. 45.4%, P<0.05).ConclusionDegree of hearing loss, gender, side, and recovery rate were similar in children and adults, but the rate of complete recovery was higher in children.

“…Steroids are the most commonly used treatment in pediatric ISSNHL, in the form of prednisolone or methyl prednisolone at an initial dose of 1 mg/kg, which is tapered over 2 weeks . Chen et al, using intravenous prednisolone at an initial dose of 3 mg/kg in children, reported a complete recovery rate of 57% . Common adverse effects of steroid use in ISSNHL in children are acne, hepatitis, and peptic ulcer disease .…”

“…[2][3][4] All forms of syphilis can cause hearing loss. 7 Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, elevated mumps virus antibodies, and the characteristic finding obtained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). From the age of 8 to 20 years, "late congenital" syphilis is evident as a progressive fluctuating hearing loss (Hennebert's sign of perilymphatic fistula).…”

“…This increases the risk of occurrence of cerebrospinal and perilymphatic fistulas and also labyrinthitis and repeated meningitis as a result of pathological communication. 12 Sudden HL is manifested as decreased threshold or understanding or the appearance of these symptoms associated with significant fluctuations over time. Manifested symptoms of unilateral or bilateral hearing loss can have an acute or progressive beginning and steady or fluctuating course.…”

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) is defined as a unilateral or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss with at least 30 dB decrease in threshold in 3 contiguous test frequencies occurring over 72 hours or less. It is very rare in children. Sudden hearing loss is a symptom that suggests that there is a problem in the inner ear, surrounding structures, or the whole organism. The etiology and development of this disorder are still not fully understood. The literature contains numerous models of the pathogenesis of SSHL, with childhood SSHL having certain peculiarities. In practical terms, the multifactorial nature of SSHL is important in the choice of diagnostic methods and treatment methods. It is important to determine the cause and effect relationship between the underlying disease and hearing loss.
