In multiple sclerosis (MS), the occurrence of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is considered rare, with reported cases predominantly being unilateral. Bilateral cases are even rarer. Here, we report a case of bilateral SSNHL in a 20-year-old male diagnosed with MS. The patient, undergoing corticosteroid therapy for the management of MS, additionally received an intratympanic dexamethasone injection; however, it could not achieve significant improvement. Subsequently, the systemic dosage was increased for one week, resulting in substantial hearing improvement in both ears after three months. A review of MS-related SSNHL cases from 1987 to 2022 revealed 39 ears in the literature, with only five ears showing no hearing recovery. A remarkable 87.2% exhibited restored hearing, presenting a more favorable prognosis compared with idiopathic SSNHL. Although there were slight variations in administration methods and duration, all documented treatment approaches involve systemic corticosteroids. In conclusion, the treatment of MS-related SSNHL appears appropriate with systemic corticosteroids, showing a significantly superior prognosis compared with idiopathic SSNHL.
