“…Thus, it may not be immediately recognized by the patients' guardians or even the patients themselves if hearing impairment is unilateral. Furthermore, previous studies demonstrated that the anti-mumps IgM antibody level is elevated in 5-7% of patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss [12][13][14]. Fifteen patients were diagnosed with hearing loss due to asymptomatic mumps infection based on serological examinations in this study.…”

“…Epidemiologic and Serologic Studies Mumps virus has been reported to cause sudden deafness, based on clinical and serologic studies, the latter demonstrating seroconversion or the appearance of mumps IgM antibodies [12][13][14][15][16][17] . However, many of these same studies found that mumps accounted only for a small fraction (less than 10%) of cases with ISSHL [13][14][15][16][17] .…”

“…Unlike in idiopathic sudden deafness, mumps-virusinduced deafness has been considered to be permanent [13] although a more favorable prognosis has also been described [8]. Serological evidence, diagnostic antibody rise or positive mumps IgM antibodies also support the idea that a recent mumps virus infection is associated with the disease [10,14]. Even stronger evidence for a direct role of mumps virus as a causative agent of sudden deafness came from the study by Westmore et al [15], who were able to isolate live mumps virus from the inner ear of one patient suffering from an acute hearing loss.…”
