Sudden hearing loss is a rare occurrence during pregnancy, leading to a dearth of literature due to limited clinical experience. Audiological investigation findings for such patients remain equivocal. Recovery can be spontaneous during the postpartum period. In patients who require medical treatment, a dextran 40 infusion can be employed. There remains scope for further research, in the form of larger studies, to ascertain the best management option for this clinical problem.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215112000114","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,6]],"date-time":"2012-02-06T15:25:18Z","timestamp":1328541918000},"page":"337-339","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Sudden hearing loss and pregnancy: a review"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"126","author":[{"given":"A Y","family":"Goh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S S M","family":"Hussain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215112000114_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020-7292(02)00342-9"},{"key":"S0022215112000114_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"179","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0412.2001.080002179.x","article-title":"Huge acoustic neurinomas presenting in late stage of pregnancy.
