E17 - A Commonly-Missed ENT Emergency

  • Summary

  • ENT surgeon Dr Marco Raftopulos joins me to discuss sudden sensorineural hearing loss: an otologic diagnosis that, if missed, results in a 70% chance of irreversible deafness. The good news is that if it is diagnosed and treated promptly, there is a 70% chance of recovery. This episode covers symptoms, assessment and emergency management, through the lens of a highly alarming case study - alarming because it's easy to see how the poor outcome could happen to any of us in our own clinical practice! An episode not to be missed for primary care practitioners, critical care clinicians and paediatricians (or indeed anyone to whom a patient may present with aural symptoms). 📌 All content and opinions expressed on this forum are those of the podcast host and guests, and do not represent the views of any organisation with which they are affiliated.
