White matter lesions in brain MRI and cardiovascular risk factors in sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients: A comparative study
White matter lesions (WMLs) are significantly associated with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), with higher grades of PVWM lesions increasing the likelihood of severe hearing loss and DWM lesions correlating with hearing recovery. These associations seem to be independent of cardiovascular risk factors.
