Sensorineural hearing loss in neurological practice

Abstract

Sensorineural hearing loss (SHL) is one of the most common disorders in neurological practice. In our country, many patients with SHL are observed to be mistakenly diagnosed with chronic cerebral ischemia. The paper deals with the current issues of diagnosis and treatment of SHL, Meniere's disease, and acoustic neuroma. It discusses the use of pentoxifylline for SHL of vascular origin.
