Consequences
In most cases, a sudden hearing loss results in a complete recovery. Only very rarely does a hearing loss or ringing in the ears persist. However, the risk of permanent damage increases with the number of sudden deafness, as hair cells break down with each sudden hearing loss.
Hair cells are essential for our hearing ability, so their dwindling number explains the amplification of symptoms. In simple terms, this means that the more hair cells a person loses, the worse his hearing becomes. Re-sickness is mainly promoted by stress and cardiovascular diseases, which can affect the blood circulation in the inner ear.
