Abstract:: |
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is recognized as the most severe ototoxic complication following radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy in patients with head and neck cancers (HNCs). It significantly impairs patients' quality of life due to the lack of effective drugs. Although advances in radiotherapy techniques have played a crucial role in improving patients' survival rates and protecting organs at risk, SNHL remains inevitable. This review presents the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, clinical manifestations, assessment criteria, pathogenesis, risk factors, and prophylactic/therapeutic strategies of SNHL, in order to provide novel insights for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. |
