Introduction: Hearing loss can be conductive, sensorineural, or mixed; conductive hearing loss arises from the ear canal or middle ear, while sensorineural hearing loss arises from the inner ear or auditory nerve. This study is conducted on the patients with sensorineural hearing loss in head injury with and without giddiness. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss in patients with and without giddiness in head injury. Methodology: This is a questionnaire-based study among the patients of Saveetha Medical college and Hospital over a period of 3 months. We conducted clinical trials for vestibular examination with the following five methods: Dix Hallpike test, finger to Nose test, Romberg test, Unterberger test, PTA. Co-relation test was conducted using Pearson’s method. Results: Ninety-five (95) patients have participated in this study. The mean age is 39.74 ± 10.98 years. The male and female ratio is 1.96:1. The mean value of patients with hearing loss is 8.74 ± 1.49. The mean value of patients with giddiness is 7.22 ± 1.48. The correlation co-efficient of Hearing loss compared with Psycho-social problems is 0.947, whereas the correlation co-efficient of Giddiness compared with Psycho-social problems is 0.167. Conclusion: This study reveals that the vestibule adapts to the affected ear to compensate the Giddiness, which concludes that prevalence of Hearing loss is more commonly seen than Giddiness in patients with head injury.
