Simultaneous idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss in identical twins

Journal/Book: Am J Otol. 1994; 15: 247-9.

Abstract: Two sisters, who are identical twins, had a simultaneous idiopathic sudden hearing loss (ISHL) while listening to loud music at a rock concert. The possibility that their hearing losses, along with the sudden hearing losses related to cordless telephone injuries, are attributable to intracochlear membrane ruptures is discussed.
