Objective This study evaluated tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interleukins 10 and 12, and interferon-gamma levels, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and clusters of differentiation 17c and 86 expression in unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Methods Twenty-four patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss, and 24 individuals with normal hearing and no history of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (who were attending the clinic for other problems), were enrolled. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and clusters of differentiation 11c and 86 were isolated and analysed. Plasma and supernatant levels of tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interferon-gamma, and interleukins 10 and 12 were measured. Results There were no significant differences with respect to age and gender. Monocyte population, mean tumour necrosis factor-alpha level and cluster of differentiation 86 expression were significantly increased in the study group compared to the control group. However, interferon-gamma and interleukin 12 levels were significantly decreased. The difference in mean interleukin 10 level was not significant. Conclusion Increases in tumour necrosis factor-alpha level and monocyte population might play critical roles in sudden sensorineural hearing loss. This warrants detailed investigation and further studies on the role of dendritic cells in sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
