Statistical analyses were conducted to evaluate the difference between the rate of VS among patients with an initial audiogram, which met the abovementioned criteria, and those who did not. Other audiometric criteria for SNHL were also evaluated (\u226510\u2009dB at \u22652 frequencies and \u2265\u200915\u2009dB at one frequency).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 332 patients included in the study, 152 met the audiometric criteria for SSNHL, and 180 did not.
