Role of Neuroradiological Imaging in Progressive Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Retrospective Study

ConclusionThis is the first retrospective study to determine prevalence and type of neuro-radiological lesions detected on screening magnetic resonance imaging in patients with progressive sensorineural hearing loss. We recommend screening MRI brain in patients with progressive SNHL aged below 60 years and all the described neuroradiological finding provide differential diagnosis. Definition and classification of progressive sensorineural hearing loss should be formulated to standardize the management. Further multi-institutional studies are required to identify social, occupational, genetic, or other factors that can cause gender disparity in patients with progressive SNHL.
