Abstract
Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) is a rare rheumatological cause of sensorineural hearing loss, accounting for less than 1% of worldwide hearing loss. It presents with rapidly progressive, unilateral or bilateral SNHL, often fluctuating. The progression is over weeks to months, along with vestibular symptoms. Diagnosing the condition is challenging because no adopted standardized tests are available. Hence, AIED is a challenging diagnosis based on exclusion. Clinical characteristics and how the patients respond to immunosuppressive agents are used for the diagnoses of AIED. Only a few cases have been reported in India till now. Here, we present a rare case of Autoimmune Ear Disease without any underlying systemic autoimmune disease.
