Method: A total of 146 cases(167 ears) were studied by SAS system on the degree of hearing impairment with prognosis. Results: An initial audiometric curve of complete deafness and a worse highfrequency(4?000?Hz and 8?000?Hz) hearing level, and a difference between high(4?000?Hz+8?000?Hz) and low(250?Hz+500?Hz)frequence revealed a bad prognosis. Multivariate analysis showed that the 8?000?Hz hearing level at the initial visit most influenced the prognosis, following the 4?000?Hz hearing level and the type of the audiometric curve. Conclusion: Results from different statistical analysis reveal that the unification of the diagnosis and therapeutic efficiency as well as the application of the multiple factors regression analysis are essential for the research on SSHL.
