A 25-year-old woman presented with severe carbon monoxide poisoning and subsequently developed bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus. After systemic steroid administration, her hearing impairment partially resolved, suggesting cochlear pathology and potential for recovery.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection as it is a single case report from outside Canada.
Study Limitations
The primary limitation of this study is that it is a single case report, which limits the generalizability of its findings to a broader patient population.
