Background: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) is an otologic emergency. Its etiopathogenesis is unknown. Platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and mean platelet volume (MPV) levels are high in peripheral vascular disease and in cases with systemic inflammation and have a weak association with prognosis. We aimed to determine whether NLR, PLR, and MPV levels are predictive values that can be used in the diagnosis of idiopathic SSHL.
Methods: Sixty patients with SSHL and 60 subjects with no additional diseases and no hearing loss were included into the study.
Results: The MPV for the study group was 7.77 ± 1.46. In the control group, this value was 10.07 ± 1.03 (P=.001; P < .01). NLR and PLR were compared as 3.48 ± 2.53 and 147.34 ± 94.33, respectively. In the control group, NLR and PLR were 1.99 ± 0.67 and 106.87 ± 30.13, respectively (P=.001, P < .01).
Conclusion: It was concluded that NLR and PLR could have a predictive value in SSHL, while MPV could not be used as a predictive value.
