  "abstract": "Objectives: This study investigated whether the inflammatory potential of diet, assessed by the Dietary Inflammatory Index, is associated with sudden sensorineural hearing loss by comparing patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss and healthy controls.\n\nMethods: This retrospective case–control study included 30 patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss and 32 matched controls. Dietary intake in the preceding 12 months was assessed by food frequency questionnaire, and Dietary Inflammatory Index scores were calculated. Between-group comparisons and receiver operating characteristics analysis were performed.\n\nResults: Mean Dietary Inflammatory Index score was significantly higher in the sudden sensorineural hearing loss group than in controls (2.27 ± 1.21 vs. 1.46 ± 1.14; p = 0.01). Patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss had higher energy, saturated fat and cholesterol intake, while omega-3 fatty acid and fibre intake were lower (p < 0.05). Dietary Inflammatory Index scores demonstrated moderate discriminative ability for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (area under the curve = 0.690; p = 0.005).\n\nConclusion: A pro-inflammatory dietary profile may be associated with increased sudden sensorineural hearing loss risk and may contribute to understanding modifiable risk factors.",
