Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of meteorological factors on the onset of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL). Materialsand Methods: Meteorological data from 2005 to 2011 were obtained from the web-based “Monthly Weather Reports of the Meteorological Administration” database. Patients with ISSHL who visited our hospital during this same period and presented the precise day on which hearing loss developed were included in this retrospective study. Twelve meteorological factors were analyzed between the days when ISSHL onset was observed as well as the days when ISSHL did not occur. The weather conditions occurring 1‒7 days before ISSHL onset were also analyzedto assess any possible delayed effects of meteorological factors on the onset of ISSHL. Results: During the study period, 607 patients were included for the study. Although mean and maximal wind velocities were higher for the days when ISSHL occurred than the days without ISSHL onset, after adjusting the value for multiple comparisons, we cannot find any significant relationship between any of meteorological factors and the onset of ISSHL. However, in analysis of time lag effect of the weather conditions, we found that there was still a significant differencein maximum wind speed on 5 days before ISSHL onset even after applying Bonferroni correction. Conclusion: The result of this study suggests that stronger wind speed may be related to the occurrence of ISSHL.
