Correlation between Audiovestibular Function Tests and Hearing Outcomes in Severe to Profound Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Abstract

ABR and VEMP tests should be included in the battery of neurootological examinations in patients with severe SSHL because the presence of both waveforms might indicate favorable hearing outcomes. The presence of vertigo might portend a worse prognosis in patients with profound SSHL. A presumed table in predicting hearing outcomes was suggested for patients with severe SSHL.
