Introduction: This report describes the outcomes of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) due to cochlear inner ear barotrauma (IEBt) in five divers treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT).
Methods: The case histories of five consecutive divers presenting with SNHL from IEBt due to diving, were reviewed. All divers provided written consent for their data to be included in the study.

Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is idiopathic in 70-90% of cases with 10-30% linked to vascular injuries, viral infections, or autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED). AIED contributes to less than 1% of all hearing losses, categorized into primary, affecting only the inner ear, and secondary, associated with systemic autoimmune diseases (SAID). This study examines the prevalence and features of AIED in SSNHL in a tertiary referral center.

Introduction: Based on clinical practice guidelines, the application of corticosteroids as a first-line therapy is common. Although sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) etiology is primarily idiopathic, hearing loss can result from a perilymphatic fistula (PLF). Recent findings show evidence of a specific rate of PLF based on a cochlin-tomoprotein (CTP) detection test.

Hearing loss is the third leading cause of human disability. Age-related hearing loss, one type of acquired sensorineural hearing loss, is largely responsible for this escalating global health burden. Noise-induced, ototoxic, and idiopathic sudden sensorineural are other less common types of acquired hearing loss.

Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss is an unexplained sudden loss of sensorineural hearing, with no specific pathogenesis, and is difficult to treat. The most common therapeutic strategy for idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss is the use of steroids combined with neurotrophic drugs, as other treatments have shown limited efficacy. However, in recent years, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has emerged as a promising treatment option.

Purpose: To corroborate the vascular etiology of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Patient: A 24-year-old male with a history of sickle cell disease experienced sudden SNHL and right horizontal nystagmus, without accompanying vertigo.
Intervention: Audiometric evaluation revealed left-sided SNHL, predominantly affecting high frequencies.

Objective: Hybrid of reversed image of positive endolymph signal and negative image of perilymph signal (HYDROPS) in delayed gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) typically depicts normal inner ear as "white-tone" and endolymphatic hydrops as "black-transparent" appearances, whereas ears with auditory and vestibular disorders are occasionally depicted as "gray-tone." This study aimed to investigate the pathological basis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) patients with "gray-tone" appearances on HYDROPS.
Methods: Delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI examinations were conducted on 29 subjects with unilateral SSNHL.

<b><br>Introduction:</b> Idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss of 30 decibels (dB) or more over at least three contiguous audiometric frequencies with an onset of less than 3 days is referred to as sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) and is known as an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) emergency. When a patient's hearing suddenly deteriorates, they become confused, anxious, and worried. One of the primary therapies for sudden sensorineural hearing loss is intratympanic steroids.

A 61-year-old man with right hearing loss and staggering for seven months was diagnosed with sudden deafness although previous evaluation with MRI indicated minor abnormal findings. During follow-up, he developed hypogeusia, right facial nerve palsy, pain in right mandible, right-sided temporal pain, and cerebellar ataxia. Cerebrospinal fluid examination at admission revealed reduced glucose concentration and elevated soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) level, whereas serum sIL-2R level was within the normal range.
