PY - 2013 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Rheumatology, 3e AB - When sensorineural hearing loss occurs in the context of an inflammatory condition, it is referred to most appropriately as immune-mediated inner ear disease (IMIED).May be associated with disturbances of balance as well as hearing loss because the inner ear mediates vestibular function as well as hearing.May occur as a primary inner ear problem or as a complication of a recognized inflammatory condition such as Cogan syndrome, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Wegener granulomatosis), giant cell arteritis, Sjögren syndrome, and others.Symptoms include tinnitus, vertigo, nausea, and difficulties with two issues related to hearing: acuity and speech discrimination.
