Objective To investigate the relationship between microcirculation and sudden deafness. Methods The medical history in 86 patients with sudden deafness was collected and their hemorheology and serum lipid parameters were compared with 30 normal age-matched controls. Results Variables of hemorheology and serum lipid in patients with sudden deafness were significantly different from those of the normal group(P 0.05). The white collar workers with psychological distress and harmful behavior were easy to suffer from sudden deafness.
