The Association Between Dehydration and the Prognosis of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is an urgent need to identify undetermined risk factors for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) for the development of effective treatment strategies. SSNHL is likely associated with vascular insufficiency; however, no study has evaluated the relationship between dehydration and SSNHL.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the role of dehydration in the development and prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

Study design

Retrospective case-control study.

Setting

Secondary referral hospital.

Patients and interventions

This was a comparative study that compared dehydration parameters between healthy subjects without SSNHL (n = 94) and patients with SSNHL (n = 94). The study also evaluated the effect of dehydrated conditio
