Migraine Features in Patients With Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
These findings reveal a high prevalence of migraine headache among patients with SSNHL. Clinical features, including aural fullness and concordant laterality (dominant headaches on the same side as SSNHL), were predictive of migraine in SSNHL patients. These findings support the hypothesis that migraine and SSNHL may share overlapping vascular and neurogenic mechanisms, highlighting the importance of identifying migraine features in SSNHL to optimize management and explore potential therapeutic strategies.
