Abstract：Objective To report treatment outcomes of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) with be-nign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods Clinical data from 105 patients with ISSNHL were reviewed retro-spectively. Patients were divided into 3 groups based on vertigo symptoms and results of positional test, namely, ISSNHL with BPPV (n=13), ISSNHL with non BPPV vertigo (n=27) and ISSNHL without vertigo (n=65),for analysis of rela-tionship between hearing improvement and BPPV. Results Patients with ISSNHL and BPPV or non BPPV vertigo displayed worse hearing loss and had significantly less improvement as compared to those without vertigo. Conclusions BPPV is a poor prognostic factor in ISSNHL, but successful otolith repositioning can be achieved by proper canalith repositioning tech-niques.
