    A 43-year-old man experienced sudden sensorineural hearing loss in both ears. His hearing fully recovered within 10 days, with no identified viral or immunological cause.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neuroscience
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is an otologic emergency.
    • The etiology of SSNHL is often idiopathic, with viral and autoimmune factors suspected.
    • Vestibular symptoms are common in SSNHL, but their absence does not rule out inner ear pathology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a case of acute bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
    • To investigate the potential causes of hearing loss, including viral and immunological factors.
    • To document the recovery of hearing in a patient with idiopathic SSNHL.

    Main Methods:

    • A 43-year-old male patient presented with acute bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
    • Audiological tests confirmed sensorineural hearing loss.

  • Serological tests for viral antibodies in blood and cerebrospinal fluid were performed.
  • Assessment for immunological disorders was conducted.

    • Main Results:

    • The patient experienced complete recovery of normal hearing within 10 days.
    • Serological examinations for viral antibodies were negative.
    • No signs of immunological disorder were detected.
    • The patient had no vestibular symptoms.

    Conclusions:

    • This case highlights the possibility of spontaneous recovery from acute bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
    • The absence of viral or immunological markers suggests an idiopathic cause in this instance.
    • Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind idiopathic SSNHL and its recovery.
