Abstract
We examined the long‐term outcome for patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (sudden deafness), including the incidence of recurrence of sudden deafness. The subjects were 1798 individuals who came to Nagoya University hospital within 2 weeks of the onset of unilateral sudden deafness. Only 14 of the patients had a history of being diagnosed with sudden deafness. After their visit to our hospital, one patient had a recurrence in the ipsilateral ear and four patients experienced sudden deafness in the contralateral ear. We performed hearing examinations on 88 patients who revisited our hospital more than 10 years after unilateral sudden deafness. Of these patients, there was one with a recurrence in the ipsilateral ear and one with sudden deafness in the contralateral ear. Thus, in this series the recurrence of sudden deafness was rare.Keywords
