AB  - OBJECTIVE: To examine patient education knowledge, attitude/belief, and practices 
      (KABP) among specialists who manage sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). 
      METHODS: A cross-sectional study design was employed wherein semi-structured 
      interviews were conducted at a 2017 otorhinolaryngology meeting. In this survey, 
      we asked the respondents about their perspectives regarding the imparting of 
      SSNHL patient education. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 84 physicians from 23 
      cities in Sichuan province. Three quarters of the respondents felt SSNHL patient 
      education was necessary. Notably, 67.9% of the respondents believed that patient 
      education could improve treatment. Half of the respondents provided culturally 
      tailored education (based on US guidelines) inclusive of traditional Chinese 
      medicine (TCM) notions of lifestyle adjustments. Internet platforms were an 
      emerging preference for education delivery mode. Only 47.4% of participants 
      reported being satisfied with their current patient education offerings, and 
      these activities were regarded as needing improvement. CONCLUSION: This study 
      captured the perspectives of otorhinolaryngologists and otologists in China 
      regarding the imparting of SSNHL patient education. The results of this survey 
      should support Chinese physician's implementation of SSNHL patient education. 
      PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Findings obtained with the present survey may be employed 
      to support the importance of SSNHL patient education in China.
