Imaging studies could also be used to differentiate conductive hearing loss and, in some cases sensorineural hearing loss (asymmetric hearing loss) for diagnostic and treatment management, including surgical planning.

Imaging studies could also be used to differentiate conductive hearing loss and, in some cases sensorineural hearing loss (asymmetric hearing loss) for diagnostic and treatment management, including surgical planning. Generally, it is appropriate to attend a senior surgeon for ordering of imaging studies whether MRI or CT scan. The conclusion is; clinicians should evaluate patients or defer to other clinicians who can evaluate patients with sudden sensorineural deafness for retro cochlear pathology by obtaining MRI or auditory brainstem response.
