Sudden hearing loss has been seen developing after introduction of rabies vaccine. Rabies is however a viral disease showing encephalitis and death. The treatment is done by active and passive immunization. Neurologic complications occur showing Guillain –Barre syndrome or facial paralysis seen in literature as side effects after dosages of vaccine. Hearing loss occurs which was detected in 11-year-old male patient who took medicines for rabies immunization. This present study reports about sudden hearing loss which develops after immunization, however no aetiological factors were seen and clinical management was discussed by literature.
