[Retrocochlear diagnostics for acute hearing loss and successful therapy]Retrocochleäre Diagnostik im Rahmen der Hörsturzuntersuchung und erfolgreiche Therapie Retrocochlear diagnostics for acute hearing loss and successful therapy

A 41-year-old female patient presented due to acute onset of unilateral hearing loss 3 months previously and persistent since then. Systemic therapy with oral glucocorticoids in decreasing doses had been performed beforehand, but did not lead to any improvement. In the course of audiological diagnostics, based on subjective and objective methods, a retrocochlear hearing disorder was suspected. A meningioma was diagnosed by diagnostic imaging. Subsequent surgical removal achieved a significant hearing improvement.
