title: [What can the additional diagnosis contribute in sudden deafness?].
abstract: 100 patients suffering from sudden hearing loss were examined with regard to cardiovascular risk factors and compared with a control group without ear diseases. Hypercholesterinaemia and hypertriglyceridaemia were significantly more often seen in patients with sudden hearing loss. No accumulation of pathological findings in neurological, orthopaedic or ophthalmological examinations was observed in patients with sudden hearing loss.
