Sudden deafness in adults may be linked to subclinical mumps infection. Researchers recommend mumps vaccination to protect hearing in the unaffected ear.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Virology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Sudden deafness is an otolaryngologic emergency with various potential causes.
  • Subclinical infections, particularly viral, are increasingly recognized as contributing factors to idiopathic conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between subclinical mumps virus infection and adult-onset sudden deafness.
  • To evaluate the utility of a novel mumps IgM antibody detection method in this context.

Main Methods:

  • Adult patients with sudden deafness were screened for mumps IgM antibodies.
  • A new serological assay was employed for sensitive detection of recent mumps infection.

Main Results:

  • Three out of 53 adult patients (5.7%) with sudden deafness tested positive for mumps IgM antibodies.

  • This suggests a significant correlation between recent mumps infection and the occurrence of sudden deafness.

    • Conclusions:

    • Subclinical mumps infection is a potential cause of sudden deafness in adults.
    • Mumps vaccination is advised for individuals with unilateral hearing loss to prevent contralateral ear involvement.
