To evaluate the vestibular function and vestibular rehabilitation in sudden sensorneural hearing loss(SSHL) with vertigo

Approximately 5-20 per 100,000 persons are afflicted with SSHL annually, and nearly 20-60% of SSHL patients complain of simultaneous vertigo.The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of vestibulocochlear lesions in sudden sensorneural hearing loss(SSHL) with vertigo, as well as the role of vestibular rehabilitation in the prognosis of SSHL with vertigo.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. A rapid onset sensorineural hearing loss of more than 30 dB for at least three contiguous audiometric frequencies within a period of 3 days, according to standard AAO - HNS;
2. Within 10 days from onset;
3. Without other virus infectious disease within three months.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. BPPV; Meniere's disease and vestibular migraine.
