There are two types acute sensorineural hearing loss: the type in which the etiology of hearing loss is presumed as hearing loss after exposure to loud sound, and the type where the etiology is unclear as in sudden deafness.
The hearing impairment after a music concert was clinically investigated in this study, and the results of treatment for music concert hearing loss were compared with those of cases with hearing loss from other sound exposure and cases of sudden deafness.
As a result, a hearing loss due to music concert hearing loss showed more improvement after treatment than those cases having hearing loss due to exposure to other loud sounds, as compared with sudden deafness.
Therefore, in the acute sensorineural hearing loss due to sound exposure, it is necessarry to receive an immediate treatment as possible.
