OR for the hearing threshold of the contralateral in relation to treatment failure.
Fig 1.
Distribution of the contralateral hearing threshold in Recovery and No-recovery groups. Green dots represent the contralateral hearing thresholds of the Recovery group (n = 234), and red dots represent the contralateral hearing thresholds of the No-recovery group (n = 211). Each dot corresponds to an individual subject. The difference between the two groups was compared using the Mann-Whitney U test, and the result was statistically significant (P < 0.001).

Fig 2.
Receiver Operating Characteristic curve of different multi factor models for predicting ISSNHL prognosis. Fig 2 demonstrates the application of multivariate logistic regression analysis. Model 1 includes five variables: age, diabetes, hypertension, disease duration, and hearing curve. Model 2 adds the variable of contralateral hearing. The results indicate that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for Model 2 is significantly larger (AUC: 0.678, 95% CI: 0.628-0.727).
