ABSTRACT

This paper discusses various aspects related to sudden hearing loss, including its definition, classification, emergency management strategies, treatment for underlying causes, rehabilitation, hearing assistive devices, and preventive measures. Sudden hearing loss refers to a rapid decrease in hearing that occurs suddenly, typically within hours or days. It can result from various causes such as infections, trauma, medication side effects, and more. Immediate medical attention is crucial for emergency management to diagnose, provide acute treatment, and develop a rehabilitation plan. Treatment options include addressing the underlying causes such as steroids, surgical interventions, and hearing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation and hearing assistive devices like hearing aids and cochlear implants can help patients adapt to their new hearing condition and improve their quality of life. Lastly, the paper emphasizes the importance of preventive measures, including hearing protection, avoiding excessive headphone use, regular ear check-ups, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Although sudden hearing loss cannot always be prevented, early measures can reduce the risk and improve the chances of early treatment and recovery. Therefore, understanding and effectively managing sudden hearing loss are crucial for protecting hearing and enhancing the quality of life for patients.
