Bilateral asynchronous sudden sensorineural hearing loss and bilateral superior semicircular canal dehiscence** Institution where the work was done
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: To describe a case of bilateral asynchronous sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) in a patient with bilateral superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD). Study design: Case report and review of the literature. Results: A 38-year-old male, with prior SSNHL in the left ear, presented with SSNHL in the right ear. The patient had a sense of disequilibrium, but no spinning vertigo. The physical examination revealed only bilateral hearing loss at the audiometric tests and nasal polyposis. The audiogram revealed severe SNHL with fair speech discrimination on the left, and severe-to-moderately severe SNHL with good speech discrimination on the right. Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were absent. Vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) thresholds were reduced and amplitudes elevated bilaterally. Electronystagmography (ENG) revealed bilateral hypoactive caloric responses. Blood tests were significant for elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, IgE, and mumps IgG titer. Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging was unremarkable except for sinonasal disease and a suggestion of bilateral SSCD which was confirmed by high-resolution computed tomography. Conclusion: We report a case of a bilateral SSCD associated with bilateral asynchronous SSNHL. SSCD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of SSNHL.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
