dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of this follow-up study was to evaluate the time-dependent course of hearing recovery in idiopathic SHL patients. Materials and Methods: Forty-four unilateral idiopathic SHL patients treated with the same standard regimen for 10 days were retrospectively reviewed, then they were invited to return to our hospital for their last visit and last audiogram during the study period. Gender, age, duration and severity of hearing loss, the shape of the audiogram and, the presence of tinnitus were evaluated. Thus, the long-term audiometric data, the final hearing outcome and, the rates of hearing recovery was obtained. Results: There was a significant difference in the degree of hearing loss and the rates of hearing recovery between early stage and long-term follow-up (p<0,001). The most common audiogram shape was flat. Hearing was significantly worse in SHL patients with tinnitus compared to SHL patients without tinnitus (p<0,001). Conclusion: Our results revealed that even if the failure of an initial 10-day course of treatment, a delayed recovery continues and there may still be enough time for complete recovery except profound SHL. Tinnitus on presentation with SHL and profound SHL has been identified as a negative prognostic indicator.en_US
