Otologists repeatedly state that patients suffering from Sudden Idiopathic Hearing Loss (SIHL) often have significant emotional problems or stressful living conditions. The study described here compared males and females suffering from SIHL with controls without any impairment of the inner ear. Personality data were gathered by means of Faschingbauer's Abbreviated MMPI (FAM). Stress factors were assessed by an Inventory of Stressful Life-Events (ILE). SIHL patients reported more stressful life-events, whose distressing effects lasted until onset of symptoms, than controls. There was no significant influence of personality upon report of stress. Stress factors and inability to cope with these seem to be important psychological factors in SIHL patients, while psychopathological disturbances may be important for some but not for the majority of cases.
耳科医生多次指出，突发性特发性听力损失（SIHL）患者常常存在严重的情绪问题或生活压力。本文所述研究将患有SIHL的男性和女性与内耳无任何损伤的对照组进行了比较。通过法申鲍尔简易明尼苏达多相人格调查表（FAM）收集人格数据。通过生活应激事件量表（ILE）评估应激因素。与对照组相比，SIHL患者报告的应激性生活事件更多，这些事件的痛苦影响一直持续到症状出现。人格对压力报告没有显著影响。应激因素以及应对这些因素的能力不足似乎是SIHL患者重要的心理因素，而心理病理障碍可能对部分病例很重要，但对大多数病例而言并非如此。
