Correlation between the etiology of severe hearing loss and endolymphatic hydrops.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate correlation between the presence of endolymphatic hydrops(EH) and factors such as causes of hearing loss, patient age, duration of deafness, and results of vestibular function tests.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed medical charts of 128 ears of cochlear implantees who were not considered relevant to Meniere's disease.

Results

When comparing group with genetic variants of GJB2, SLC26A4, LMX1A and other genetic mutation group, the proportion of vestibular EH and cochlear EH found in group with genetic variants of GJB2, SLC26A4, LMX1A was significantly higher than group with other genetic etiology (p < 0.01) or the group with all the other causes of hearing loss (p < 0.01). The rate of vestibular and cochlear EH detection was h
