ABSTRACT
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is rarely presented in patients with several immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. We report a case of sudden SNHL in a patient with axial spondyloarthritis (aSpA). A 29-year-old male with aSpA was admitted for sudden unilateral hearing loss. His aSpA symptom was stable; however, pure tone audiometry revealed that he had SNHL in the left ear at low frequency. His hearing was fully recovered with systemic and local steroid therapy. This case suggests that sudden SNHL may be an extra-articular manifestation of aSpA and thus need prompt steroid therapy in order to restore hearing.
