Diseases that Cause Acute Deafness
What other disease could be?
There are a number of diseases that can cause sudden hearing loss, which is different from acute deafness.
Clinical examination and audiometric eliminates transmission deafness (deafness associated with middle ear disease such as ear serous) and earwax, which can cause sudden deafness if they move into the ear canal and the eardrum after playing for example, a shower or a swim in a pool. However, a plug of wax can mask an acute deafness.
Many diseases can cause acute deafness:
- Injury: bone fractures, head injuries, accidents and injuries by sharp sound (loud noise).
- Injuries Vascular diseases of the heart and blood as polycythemia (excess blood cells), or thrombocytopenia (lack of platelets in the blood) may be associated with acute deafness.
- Injuries infectious ear, labyrinthitis (inflammation of the labyrinth, a structure of the ear) due to a cholesteatoma or sudden deafness as a sequela of meningitis.
- Tumor lesions such as acoustic nerve neurinoma, systematic research is needed before a unilateral perceptual deafness.
