In our earlier studies on the associations of HSP70 genetic polymorphisms (HSPA1L/HSPA1A/HSPA1B: rs2075800/rs1043618/rs2763979) with NIHL and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), different haplotypes were associated with diverse risks of these hearing impairments [12, 21]. This evidence concerns the gene HSPA1L and sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
