Özet
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is defined as a hearing loss of at least 30 dB that occurs within 72 h at three contiguous frequencies. Although this is the general acceptance, there is no consensus regarding the degree of hearing loss and the duration of its occurrence [1]. Bilateral involvement is rare. Accompanying symptoms may include fullness in the affected ear, varying degrees of tinnitus, dizziness, and impaired balance [2, 3]
