The guideline focuses primarily on sudden sensorineural hearing loss. The guideline is intended for all clinicians who diagnose or manage adult patients who present with sudden hearing loss.
The guideline is published as a supplement in the March 2012 issue of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery (SHL Guideline).
