Sudden sensorineural hearing loss in aplastic anemia patients may be linked to intracochlear hemorrhage. This condition, often accompanied by tinnitus and vertigo, showed a poor prognosis for hearing recovery in three reported cases.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Hematology
- Internal Medicine

- Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is an otologic emergency.
- The association between aplastic anemia and SSNHL is not well-established.
