Abstract
Forty-nine patients with low-tone sensorineural deafness were retrospectively studied. They were all characterized by a high incidences in female as well as a high incidence in younger people from 30 to 49 years of age. Their most common complaint was that of fullness and recovery rate was 88%. We studied the statistical relationships between both prognoses and age, sex, a hearing level of 1000Hz and the level of low-tone hearing loss, and no statistical relationship was found among these factors. In addition, we also compared two groups, one consisting of patients with low-tone sensorineural deafness only and the othercomprising patients with low-tone sensorineural deafness and symmetric high-tone sensorineural deafness. The prognoses of the former group were found to be statistically better than these of the latter group.
