Abstract
Fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss（FSNHL） is a special type of sensorineural hearing loss, which can be manifested in many clinical diseases. In this paper, some clinical diseases associated with FSNHL are summarized, such as Meniere's disease, large vestibular aqueduct syndrome, acute low frequency sensorineural hearing loss, delayed endolymphatic hydrops, autoimmune inner ear disease and syndromes leading to FSNHL. The pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of FSNHL were summarized in order to improve clinicians' understanding of FSNHL, reduce the probability of misdiagnosis of related diseases and improve the prognosis of patients.
