The results of examination of 11 patients aged 18 to 30 years with acute sensorineural hearing loss are presented. The cause of acute sensorineural hearing loss of these patients was the irrational use of portable audio devices. All patients have gone through a comprehensive clinical and audiological examination. In 4 (36,4%) patients had a diagnosis of "Bilateral acute sensorineural hearing loss" and 7(63,6%) –"Unilateral acute sensorineural hearing loss". According to the results of this study, people using headphones to listen to music loudly are at risk for developing sensorineural hearing loss at a young age.
