title: [The preliminary research of progress on sudden deafness with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the prognosis of sudden deafness patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical data of 24 sudden deafness patients with BPPV was analyzed. The outcome of 125 sudden deafness patients without BPPV at the same time was compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Hearing improvement after three months treatment was 41.67% and 72.80% in sudden deafness patients with BPPV and sudden deafness patients without BPPV, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The prognosis of hearing in sudden deafness patients with BPPV is worse than that in sudden deafness patients without BPPV. BPPV may predict a poor hearing outcome in sudden deafness.
