TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - A case of sudden unilateral sensorineural hearing loss with contralateral psychogenic hearing loss induced by gunshot noise JO - Military medicine A1 - Hong, Young-Ho A1 - Mun, Seog-Kyun SP - 1193 EP - 1195 VL - 176 IS - 10 N2 - The reasons behind sudden sensorineural hearing loss are mostly unknown, but viral infections, blood disorders, ototoxicity, noise trauma, autoimmune disease, acoustic tumor, and even mental stress may be related to the disease. In cases of hearing loss as a result of psychogenic factors, early diagnosis and adequate treatment under collaboration with the psychiatric department are crucial, since failure to take appropriate measures may result in permanent sequela. We report a case, with a review of the literature, of sudden unilateral sensorineural hearing loss with contralateral psychogenic hearing loss induced by gunshot noise.
