Article Description

Background: Accurate prognostic prediction is crucial for managing Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (ISSHL). Previous studies developing ISSHL prognosis models often overlooked individual variability in hearing damage by relying on fixed frequency domains. This study aims to develop models predicting ISSHL prognosis one month after treatment, focusing on patient-specific hearing impairments. Methods: Patient-Personalized Seigel’s Criteria (PPSC) were developed considering patient-specific hearing impairment related to ISSHL criteria. We performed a statistical test to assess the shift in the recovery assessment when applying PPSC. The utilized dataset of 581 patients comprised demographic information, health records, laboratory testing, onset and treatment, and hearing levels. To reduce the model’s reliance on hearing level features, we used only the averages of hearing levels of the impaired frequencies. Then, model development, evaluation, and interpretation proceeded. Results: The chi-square test (p-value: 0.106) indicated that the shift in recovery assessment is not statistically significant. The soft-voting ensemble model was most effective, achieving an Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUROC) of 0.864 (95% CI: 0.801–0.927), with model interpretation based on the SHapley Additive exPlanations value. Conclusions: With PPSC, providing a hearing assessment comparable to traditional Seigel’s criteria, the developed models successfully predicted ISSHL recovery one month post-treatment by considering patient-specific impairments.
