Prognostic estimation of sudden deafness by cochlear microphonics of electrocochleography.
Estimation of the prognosis of sudden sensorineural deafness is available by reviewing CM responses in electrocochleography (ECochG) even at an early stage of disease after the onset. The detection threshold of CM irrespective of the period of ECochG seems to be the most reliable tool to estimate the final hearing level in pure tone audiogram.
