Abstract：Objective To study factors influencing prognosis in sudden deafness and provide guidance for clinical treat?ment. Methods Clinical data from 1196 cases (1247 ears) of sudden deafness treated in our department were reviewed and an?alyzed. Factors including sex, age, ear side, concurrent symptoms, treatment time, degree of hearing loss and comorbidities were screened for possible correlation to prognosis usingχ2 test and Spearman's rank test. Logistic regression analysis was used to fur?ther analyzed promising factors for their correlation to the prognosis of sudden deafness. Results Sex, ear side, tinnitus, aural fullness, co-existing hypertension, diabetes and cerebral infarction were not correlated to sudden deafness prognosis (p>0.05). Age, treatment time, degree of hearing loss, presence of vertigo, cervical spondylosis and dyslipidemia showed correlation to prognosis (p<0.05). Conclusion The prognosis of sudden deafness appears to be better if treatment time is shorter and hear?ing loss is less severe with no vertigo. Age has little influence on the prognosis of sudden deafness.
