    This study analyzed 38 sudden deafness cases, finding 26 linked to infections or trauma. The remaining 12 idiopathic sudden deafness cases highlight the need for further etiological research.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Sudden deafness (SD) is a significant cause of sensorineural hearing loss.
    • Etiology and management of SD remain challenging, with both identifiable and idiopathic causes.
    • A comprehensive understanding of SD cases is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report and analyze 38 cases of sudden deafness observed at Bambino Gesù Hospital.
    • To investigate the etiological factors, prognostic indicators, and therapeutic strategies for sudden deafness.
    • To differentiate between infectious/traumatic causes and idiopathic sudden deafness (ISD).

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis of 38 patients diagnosed with sudden deafness.
    • Classification of cases based on etiological findings: infective, traumatic, or idiopathic.

  • Review of clinical data, medical history, and diagnostic workup for each case.

    • Main Results:

    • Out of 38 cases, 26 were attributed to infective causes (mumps, meningitis, measles, varicella) or physical trauma.
    • 12 cases were classified as idiopathic sudden deafness (ISD) based on clinical and anamnestic evaluation.
    • The study provides insights into the distribution of causes and characteristics of SD in the observed cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • Infectious and traumatic etiologies represent a significant proportion of sudden deafness cases.
    • Idiopathic sudden deafness requires further investigation to elucidate underlying mechanisms.
    • Understanding the diverse causes of sudden deafness is essential for guiding prognosis and treatment decisions.
