Sudden sensorineural hearing loss has many causes and treatments. The family physician can identify the hearing loss, perform audiometry, identify likely systemic causes and counsel the patient on the prognosis. Most patients are ultimately found to have idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss, and the spontaneous recovery rate is high. If no improvement occurs within one month, evaluation to rule out tumor is recommended.
突发性感音神经性听力损失有多种病因及治疗方法。家庭医生能够识别听力损失,进行听力测定,确定可能的全身性病因,并就预后情况向患者提供咨询。大多数患者最终被诊断为特发性感音神经性听力损失,且自发恢复率较高。如果一个月内没有改善,建议进行评估以排除肿瘤。
