What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a cohort of patients diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) at Wonju Severance Christian Hospital. Patients will be evaluated based on their hearing loss diagnosis confirmed through pure tone audiometry and will be monitored for their recovery status, timing, and degree of recovery. The study will track patients who receive various treatments, including cocktail therapy with or without steroids and other interventions. The goal is to gather data that may help understand the recovery patterns in SSNHL patients.
