What Researchers Did
Researchers reported a case of a 30-year-old male presenting with sudden profound left sensorineural hearing loss due to intracochlear hemorrhage.
What They Found
A 30-year-old male presented with sudden profound left sensorineural hearing loss without tinnitus or vertigo. An MRI performed 3 weeks later revealed increased signal intensity on T1-weighted and T2 FLAIR images in the left cochlea, leading to a diagnosis of intracochlear hemorrhage. No improvement in hearing loss was noted after medical treatment and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
