Abstract
Conclusions: The majority of hearing loss due to mumps presents as unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss, which is refractory to treatment. In rare cases of bilateral total deafness, cochlear implants were beneficial for speech perception. Vaccination against mumps is recommended to prevent mumps-associated hearing loss.
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics of hearing loss due to mumps and to evaluate hearing outcomes.
Subjects and methods: The clinical parameters were analyzed under a retrospective multi-institutional study design in patients diagnosed with hearing loss due to mumps at the Otolaryngology departments of 19 hospitals between 1987 and 2016.
Results: Sixty-seven patients with hearing loss due to mumps were enrolled. The study population consisted of 35 males and 32 females, ranging in age from 1 to 54, with a median age of 9.5 years. Sixty-three patients presented with unilateral, and 4 with bilateral hearing loss. Profound hearing loss was observed in 65 ears. Only one ear with severe hearing loss showed complete recovery. Four patients with bilateral hearing loss received cochlear implant surgery. Most of the patients with hearing loss due to mumps had no history of vaccination.

结论 因腮腺炎引起的大多数听力损失表现为单侧深度感觉神经性听力损失, 对治疗没有反应。在罕见的双侧全聋的情况下, 耳蜗植入物有益于语音感知。建议接种腮腺炎疫苗以防止腮腺炎相关的听力损失。
目的 调查腮腺炎引起的听力损失的临床特征, 并评估听力结果。
对象和方法 在回顾性多机构研究设计下, 对1987年至2016年间在19家医院的耳鼻喉科部门诊断患有腮腺炎的听力损失患者进行临床参数分析。
结果 征收67名由腮腺炎引起的听力损失患者。研究人群包括35名男性和32名女性, 年龄从1至54岁, 中位年龄为9.5岁。 63例患者出现单侧、4例出现双侧听力损失。在65个耳中观察到严重的听力损失。只有一个严重听力损失的耳朵显示完全恢复。 4例双侧听力损失患者接受了人工耳蜗植入手术。大多数由于腮腺炎引起的听力损失患者没有接种疫苗的历史。
