摘要
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is considered an otolaryngologic emergency that must be treated within 72 hours. Failure to treat within that time frame typically results in permanent hearing loss. Here, we present a case of SSNHL confirmed by an audiogram that was treated as eustachian tube dysfunction. Aggressive management measures started at follow-up failed to improve the hearing loss. This case demonstrates the need for early recognition and ENT referral for SSNHL.
