Abstract EN
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) is a clinically common acute symptom in otolaryngology.
Although the incidence of SSHL has increased around the world in recent years, the etiology of the disease is still unclear.
It has been reported that infections, ototoxic drugs, membrane labyrinth rupture, carcinomas, circulatory system diseases, autoimmune diseases, brain lesions, mental diseases, congenital or inherited diseases, and so on, are all risk factors for SSHL.
Here, we discuss the autoimmune mechanisms behind SSHL, which might be induced by type II–IV allergic reactions.
We also introduce the main immunosuppressive medications that have been used to treat SSHL, which will help us to identify potential targets for immune therapy.
