ABSTRACT
Objectives:
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss SSNHL is an acute malfunction of the inner ear Usually, no etiology can be identified after clinical evaluation. Sudden deafness is defined as hearing loss greater than 30 dB in at least three subsequent frequencies of sudden onset or within a maximum of 72 hours. Prompt recognition and management of sudden deafness may improve hearing recovery and patient quality of life.

Materials:
60 patients diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss 34 (56.7%) females and 26 (43.3%) males, mean age 43.4 ± 11.7 years and 160 controls without a hearing problem, 79 (49.4%) females and 81 (50.6%) males, mean age 45.0 ± 15.8 years were included in a retrospective study. There was an analysis of the circumstances of the incidence of sudden hearing loss, demographic data and the influence of other illnesses was collected.

Results:
The demographic data were analyszed. The circumstances such as season, time of day, impact of medical condition and perfomed blood tests were evaluated.

Conclusions:
A higher level of education was associated with a quicker admission time. Metabolic diseases were significantly correlated with sudden hearing loss. There was inflammation in the vessels of the cochlea.
