“…Further investigation with pure tone audiometry depicted SNHL and her treatment was started by giving a combination of glucocorticoids (dexamethasone 8 mg three times per day for three days with tapering over a week) and acetylsalicylic acid. The rationale to use anticoagulant acetylsalicylic acid 100 mg once daily was that as AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, AZD1222, Vaxzevria; Oxford/AstraZeneca) increases the chances of thrombotic event, early usage of anticoagulant agent leads to full recovery after 15 days in this case report [ 30 - 32 ].…”

The objective of this review is to present and evaluate the current views on sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is an otolaryngology emergency requiring immediate diagnosis and treatment. The etiology of the majority of cases is unknown. The etiology can be classified into various categories such as autoimmune diseases, infections, functional, metabolic disorders, vascular disorders, traumatic causes, due to toxins, and neurological disorders. We searched the U.S. National Library of Medicine's PubMed database using the terms "sudden S.N.H.L.," "virus and ssnhl," and "sudden deafness," as well as the keywords such as "etiology," "COVID 19, and ssnhl," "epidemiology," "clinical characteristics," "management," "therapy," and "prognosis."Categories: Otolaryngology

“…Similarly, using olive oil drops or spray on a daily basis is useless and should be avoided. Self-help alternatives such as cerumen softening drops or home irrigation kits are both effective and safe [21,22,23,3,[24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

Cerumen, sometimes known as "earwax," is a natural material that cleans, coats, and smooths the external auditory canal. It is the most common cause of ear canal obstruction. While cerumen blockage of the ear canal is usually painless, it can result in a variety of implications, for example, loss of hearing, tinnitus, overflowing, itching, otalgia, discharge, odour, and cough. Ear wax becomes a concern only when it causes hearing loss or other ear-related ailments. Cerumen build-up can arise for various causes, including an inability to self-clear, overproduction or underproduction of its essential components due to delayed skin movement, or mechanical difficulties such as usage of cotton buds or hearing aids. Wax can obstruct the understanding and view of the tympanic membrane and must be gone for investigative purposes or to take imprints before installing hearing support or creating earplugs. Cerumen impaction is usually innocuous; however, it might be associated with more significant symptoms. The removal of affected cerumen is typically regarded safe. However, as eardrum tear, canal laceration, and unsuccessful ear wax elimination. These dangers can be reduced by recognizing risky individuals and customising care measures to their specific needs. All common cerumen removal strategies are Cerumenolytics (ear wax emollient agents), irrigation, and manual elimination. It is also prudent not to interfere if asymptomatic individuals and tympanic membrane visualization are not required.

Auditory loss is a highly under recognised undermined issue which needs to be studied in extensive detail, as according to World Health Organisation, more than 45% of the global population has loss of auditory. The high percentage can be lowered if auditory enhancement techniques such as auditory aids or implants of cochlea were not underused. In order to increase the usage of these devices we must first understand the inner workings of the ear and the pathologies that may cause it to malfunction and then move on to proper management. Auditory loss as defined by WHO as the inability to hear as well as someone with normal auditory, these are persons having auditory thresholds of 20 dB or better than 20 dB in both ears. Auditory loss is often classified into two types, conductive auditory loss and sensorineural auditory loss which is a broad classification into which we can separate the various pathologies which bring about same outcomes. In conductive auditory loss, there is often involvement of external or middle ear where there is obstruction in relay of sound waves, hence, quite literally a problem with the conduction. Conductive auditory loss can be both congenital or acquired but most often can be resolved in a manner which will result in recovery of auditory. Sensorineural auditory loss occurs when there is dysfunction in the inner ear which often leads to progressive and permanent auditory loss. Though it can be congenital, it is most often acquired, especially when it is age related more commonly known as presbycusis which affects a large amount of the aging population. The management can be done through various processes including oral medications, surgical interventions and other manual procedures. Various assistive technologies like auditory aids and cochlear implants are also vital in preservation of auditory.
