Abstract Bullous myringitis is considered to be a self-limiting disease without complications. Clinical evidence has shown it to be frequently accompanied by sensorineural hearing loss, more often than it was thought to be. The case of a 20-year-old girl is presented in whom bullous myringitis was accompanied by transient sensorineural hearing loss. The site of the lesion was determined to be in the cochlea. We determined, with a high degree of certainty, that the causative agent was mycoplasma.
