If audiogram is showing significant decrease in hearing which is sensory neural type then this condition is known as sudden sensorineural hearing loss. This has to be evaluated in detail and usually MRI scan is taken to rule out any causes in the brain. Immediate treatment needs to be started to avoid permanent hearing loss
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
