Study Notes
- Otogenic syphilis can cause hearing loss and has a poor prognosis.
- Lyme disease can cause sudden SNHL or Ménière-like syndrome.
- Langerhans histiocytosis, sarcoidosis, and Wegener granulomatosis can cause conductive or SNHL.
- Autoimmune diseases like Cogan syndrome, polyarteritis nodosa, rheumatoid arthritis, relapsing polychondritis, and AIED can cause hearing loss.
- Cogan syndrome is characterized by nonsyphilitic interstitial keratitis and can progress to profound deafness.
- Polyarteritis nodosa can cause end-organ ischemia and is associated with a high risk of hepatitis B.
- Relapsing polychondritis affects the ear, nose, trachea, larynx, and ribs.
- Rheumatoid arthritis can affect the outer, middle, and inner ear and is associated with an increased risk of SNHL.
- AIED is an idiopathic, rapidly progressive, bilateral SNHL that may be caused by autoimmune reactions to inner ear antigens.
- AIED may initially affect only one ear and progress to affect both ears, and it may be accompanied by vestibular symptoms.
- Infectious diseases are common causes of otologic pathology.
- CMV infection can cause severe SNHL in babies and progressive SNHL in asymptomatic children.
- Bacterial meningitis can cause bilateral stable SNHL.
- Otogenic syphilis can mimic Meniere disease but progresses more aggressively.
- Langerhans histiocytosis can affect the temporal bone and cause conductive hearing loss.
- Granulomatous diseases commonly cause conductive hearing loss.
- AIED is a rare entity characterized by bilateral SNHL that progresses over weeks to months.
- Diagnosis of AIED relies on clinical evaluation and immunologic markers.
- Initial therapy for AIED is high dose corticosteroids.
- Bone diseases can cause both conductive and SNHL.
