Etiologic and Audiologic Characteristics of Patients With Pediatric-Onset Unilateral and Asymmetric Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Abstract

The UHL-SO and UHL-RH conditions share a common or similar etiopathogenesis different from that of AHL. Imaging studies and genetic testing might be prioritized during the respective general etiologic workups for patients with UHL and AHL. Regular hearing checkups are warranted for patients with UHL and AHL because a certain proportion of patients might sustain progression in SNHL.
