Abstract

Objectives : Sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL) is defined as an unexplainable decline in hearing which o㏄urs within a short period of time. This study describes a case of SSNHL accompanied by many unfavourable prognosis factors including severe vertigo. Methods : We treated 1 SSNHL patient who had many unfavourable prognosis factors including severe vertigo. After Korean medical treatment for 23 days, we measured the hearing recovery and decrease of vertigo. For diagnosis, pure tone audiometry was done. The degree of improvement was evaluated by Siegel's Criteria. Decrease of vertigo was assessed by Vertigo Scale. Results & Conclusions : The pure tone 5 frequency(0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, $4_{KHz}$) average improved by 25dB(slightly recovered). Vertigo score decreased from 4 to 1. We may expect that the Korean medical therapy improves the hearing recovery in the SSNHL patients who have unfavourable prognosis factors such as vertigo.
