MRI in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSHL)

To detect morphometric changes in the cochlear nerve (CN)

To rule out an acoustic neuroma (correct)

To compare the CN size between healthy and diseased ears

To measure the size of the CN before cochlear implantation

Previous studies have demonstrated CN imperfection in both congenital and acquired sensorineural hearing loss

MRI has been used to detect morphometric changes in the CN of patients with SSHL

The text compares the CN size between pretreatment audiogram type and treatment responses (correct)

Islamoglu et al. found no difference in CN size between healthy and diseased ears in long-lasting single-side deafness due to ISSHL

Islamoglu et al. found a difference in CN size between healthy and diseased ears in long-lasting single-side deafness due to ISSHL

The text compares the CN size between healthy individuals and the healthy side of ISSHL patients

Russo et al. and Kim et al. reported changes in CN morphometric measurements in adults with long-standing hearing loss (correct)

MRI is only used in patients with profound hearing impairment before cochlear implantation
