LIPID PROFILE IN SUDDEN SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS- A PROSPECTIVE STUDY
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 35
Abstract
BACKGROUND To study the correlation between hyperlipidaemia among patients presented with sudden sensorineural hearing loss compared to normal controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS 30 adults aged 22 to 58 years with sudden sensorineural hearing loss were included in the prospective study and was compared with serum lipids level. Relevant history was obtained. Examination and investigations were conducted. RESULTS Statistical analysis showed that there was significant difference between the means of lipid profile of the patients and the control group. CONCLUSION The study shows significant relationship between hyperlipidaemia and sudden sensorineural hearing loss, but more studies are required to establish a pathological connection between lipid levels and SSNHL.
