Abstract

Several lines of evidence suggest the role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) mediates its role in various immune and inflammatory conditions by the regulation of immune reactions. Several studies have c...
