Article Synopsis
- Viral infections, particularly Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), may be linked to sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) in East Asian patients.
- In a study involving 29 patients with sudden hearing loss, 10.3% tested positive for EBV using real-time PCR, showing a correlation between higher viral load and poorer recovery of hearing.
- This research highlights the potential involvement of EBV in SSNHL and suggests that more extensive studies are necessary to clarify the relationship and mechanisms involved.
