Sudden onset sensorineural deafness is an otological emergency; subsequent recovery of hearing has been shown to correlate with early treatment. There have been few documented reports of this occurring in pregnancy, although the increased thrombogenic risk of the pregnant state is a proposed aetiological factor. The wide variation in outcome is demonstrated by these two cases, which are presented to raise awareness of this condition.
