Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss Caused by Infarction of the Vestibulo-Cochlear Artery Can Be Detected by Testing Semicircular Canal Function and Audiometry: Proposal for Angiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Given that VCA impairment is associated with profound, flat, and high-frequency hearing loss and consistent with the arterial anatomy of the inner ear, ISSNHL-IPSCD patients are more likely to have vascular impairment. Conducting trials that target ISSNHL-IPSCD patients may lead to the discovery of new and effective treatments for ISSNHL.
