Abstract:

This study evaluates the effect of hemogram results on the degree and prognosis of patients with sudden hearing loss (SHL). 70 of 325 patients diagnosed with SHL in our clinic between 2015-2020 were included in the study. Routine hemogram parameters and hearing tests of the patients before treatment were examined. A control group was formed from healthy individuals with similar characteristics. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the degree of hearing loss. In our study, hemoglobin, mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet, neutrophil, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), platelet x neutrophil / lymphocyte (PxN/L) values were compared. Statistical difference was found between the group with SHL and the control group in terms of hemoglobin, neutrophil, lymphocyte, MPV, PLO, NLO, PxN/L values. These parameters can be used as a new marker in the diagnosis and prognosis of SHL with a routine and inexpensive test performed at the diagnosis stage of the disease.
