Key Points1. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss remains one of the most challenging conditions in modern otology 2. There is ambiguity in terms of its aetiology and management 3. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is often idiopathic 4. We report temporospatial clustering of idiopathic sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss in three cases 5. Our findings add to the evidence that a transmissible agent such as a virus underlies aetiology in at least a proportion of such cases
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
