Classification of Tinnitus: Multiple Causes with the Same Name
2020, Otolaryngologic Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Some causes require urgent diagnosis, such as vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma), stroke, malignancy, noise, and ototoxic medication, which may present as SSHL.38 Although the presence of tinnitus causes greater emotional reactions in these patients,40 its presence is a positive outcome factor for hearing recovery.41 Rapidly progressive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss is defined as a shift of 15 dB or more at any frequency or 10 dB or more at 2 or more consecutive frequencies, or a significant change in discrimination score that occurs within 3 months or more apart.42
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss – A contemporary review of management issues
2020, Journal of OtologyCitation Excerpt :However, it has not been a universal observation(Fetterman et al., 1996; Nosrati-Zarenoe and Hultcrantz, 2012; Zadeh et al., 2003). Tinnitus has been reported as a good(Danino et al., 1984), bad(Ben-David et al., 2002), and neutral(Chang et al., 2005) prognostic factor in various studies. Duration of hearing loss – The patients presenting to the physician within a week are more likely to have a better recovery rate compared to the late presenters(Byl, 1984; Fetterman et al., 1996; Nosrati-Zarenoe and Hultcrantz, 2012; Zadeh et al., 2003).
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss in children and adolescents: Clinical characteristics and age-related prognosis
2018, Auris Nasus LarynxCitation Excerpt :However, since only 6 patients in the present study have a descending type on initial audiogram, the significance of this finding may be slight and further investigations with a large population are required to evaluate the hearing type on initial audiogram as a prognostic factor. Presence of tinnitus has been correlated with favorable outcomes in various studies of pediatric and adult populations [16,26,27]. In our study, tinnitus was a positive prognostic factor for hearing recovery, which was consistent with previous studies.
Variables with prognostic value in the onset of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss
2015, Brazilian Journal of OtorhinolaryngologyCitation Excerpt :This group of patients had statistically significant higher rates of absolute and relative recovery compared to the group without tinnitus, corroborating previous studies.10,22,23 It is assumed that presence of tinnitus after cochlear injury would indicate that hair cells remain viable.24 Vertigo was present in 52.8% of subjects, who showed lower relative recovery rates compared to the group without this symptom (p = 0.002).
