title: [Sudden deafness].
abstract: Concerning sudden deafness, the author rather defends viral origin than vascular, based on comparative histo-pathological studies. Possibility of "inner ear baro-trauma" or "labyrinth membrane rupture" is also discussed. Conservative treatment by bed-rest, cortico-steroïds and vasodilators is advised.
