While numerous studies have been conducted on sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), research on how treatment outcomes and prognosis vary by age remains insufficient. This study aims to investigate the differences in recovery rates among SSNHL patients divided by age groups. A retrospective study was conducted on 177 patients diagnosed with SSNHL from 2020 to 2023. The patients were categorized into four age groups: under 20, 30-40, 50-60, and over 70. Recovery rates and associated symptoms were compared across these groups. Significant recovery rates were observed in all age groups except for those over 70 ( = 0.006, = 0.003, = 0.009). No significant differences were found in recovery rates based on gender ( > 0.75) or symptoms such as tinnitus, ear fullness, and dizziness ( > 0.05). The study revealed that younger and middle-aged adults showed statistically significant improvements in recovery rates, while the elderly exhibited relatively lower recovery rates.
虽然已经对突发性感音神经性听力损失(SSNHL)进行了大量研究,但关于治疗结果和预后如何随年龄变化的研究仍然不足。本研究旨在调查按年龄分组的SSNHL患者的恢复率差异。对2020年至2023年诊断为SSNHL的177例患者进行了回顾性研究。患者被分为四个年龄组:20岁以下、30 - 40岁、50 - 60岁和70岁以上。比较了这些组的恢复率和相关症状。除70岁以上组外,所有年龄组均观察到显著的恢复率(= 0.006,= 0.003,= 0.009)。基于性别(> 0.75)或耳鸣、耳闷和头晕等症状的恢复率未发现显著差异(> 0.05)。研究表明,年轻人和中年人在恢复率方面有统计学上的显著改善,而老年人的恢复率相对较低。
