When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Primary Care Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) demands rapid diagnosis and intervention to preserve hearing.
  • Primary care physicians (PCPs) play a crucial role in the initial detection and management of SSNHL.
  • Effective SSNHL management hinges on timely referrals and appropriate treatment protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic capabilities, knowledge, and practices of primary healthcare physicians in Saudi Arabia concerning SSNHL.
  • To identify specific areas where PCPs may require additional training or support in SSNHL management.
  • To inform strategies for enhancing SSNHL care within the Saudi Arabian primary healthcare system.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 371 PCPs in Saudi Arabia.
  • Data was collected using an electronic questionnaire assessing knowledge, diagnostic and management practices, and referral patterns for SSNHL.
  • Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26, with a significance level set at p<0.05.

Main Results:

  • A significant portion of PCPs demonstrated poor or fair knowledge regarding SSNHL (66.6%).
  • While most PCPs recognized the urgency of SSNHL referral, less than half accurately defined the critical 72-hour diagnosis window.
  • Prescribing practices for corticosteroids varied, with inconsistencies observed between suspected and confirmed SSNHL cases.

Conclusions:

  • Saudi Arabian PCPs acknowledge the urgency of SSNHL but exhibit knowledge and practice gaps.
  • Enhanced training and education are recommended to improve diagnostic accuracy, referral timeliness, and management of SSNHL.
  • Addressing these gaps is vital for optimizing patient outcomes in SSNHL cases.
