Sudden Deafness
A Medical Emergency

––
Sudden Sensorineural
Hearing Loss

Treatment with corticosteroids have been shown to be the most effective at treating SSHL. These may be recommended to be taken orally or injected by the physician into the ear. The sooner it is treated once detected, the greater chance of recovery. For this reason, a sudden sensorineural hearing loss is considered a medical emergency, and treatment should occur by an otolaryngologist, otologist or an ER as soon as possible.

See if you qualify for Genetic Testing!
In the summer of 2019, the Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania opened the Center for Adult Onset Hearing Loss. The goal of the Center is to provide opportunities for genetic testing and research participation to adults with hearing loss with an undiagnosed etiology or cause.
Individuals interested in visiting the Center should ask their medical provider for a referral and then call 215-662-6017 to schedule an appointment.
