Objective To investigate the impact of seasonal and meteorological factors on the incidence of sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL)in Shenzhen area and provide a reference for the prevention of the dis-ease.Methods The data of patients with SSNHL who visited our hospital between March 2017～February 2021 were collected.The local temperature and humidity data at the time of onset were analyzed.The incidence of SSNHL under different seasons and meteorological conditions were counted to explore the correlation among sea-sons,meteorological conditions and the incidence of SSNHL.Results A total of 579 cases were included.The dis-tribution trend of cases in the four seasons was summer＞autumn＞spring＞winter,and the time distribution trend was that the number of sick cases increases year by year.Under different onset season,the incidence of SSNHL in summer was positively correlated with temperature(mean temperature,maximum temperature and minimum tem-perature)(r=0.153,r=0.1444,r=0.15,P＜0.05).The mean temperature,maximum temperature,minimum temperature and relative humidity were positively correlated with the frequency distribution of hearing loss in pa-tients with SSNHL(P＜0.05).Conclusion Summer is the peak season for patients with SSNHL in Shenzhen,and the season,temperature,relative humidity have an impact on the incidence of SSNHL and the frequency distribution of hearing loss.
