Sudden sensorineural hearing loss has many causes and treatments. The family physician can identify the hearing loss, perform audiometry, identify likely systemic causes and counsel the patient on the prognosis. Most patients are ultimately found to have idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss, and the spontaneous recovery rate is high. If no improvement occurs within one month, evaluation to rule out tumor is recommended.
