Abstract:
For many otolaryngologists the management of acute sensorineural hearing loss is an intuitive exercise. The ideas that govern a practice is as important as treating the patients and preventing progression of the disease; this has evolved by retrospective, anecdotal reports and clinical experience rather than through prospective research. To evaluate the current literature on management of such sensorineural hearing loss, a medline search of the topic was carried out and evidence based on recent articles were analysed. The review article discusses the current opinion on the subject including investigations and suggests a management protocol for idiopathic cases.
