Conclusion We found a statistically significant difference in the complete hearing recovery rate and audiometric results (PTA) between the group with a daily interval of injections and the group with a four-day time interval. Therefore, daily time intervals in intratympanic steroid injection may be...

The intervention group also received intratympanic dexamethasone injections (0.4 ml of 4 mg/ml dexamethasone) two times a week for two consecutive weeks (four injections in total). A significant hearing improvement was defined as at least a 15-db decrease in pure tone average (PTA). Among all...
"For a patient who lives in a remote location where accessing repeat injections would be difficult, then gentamicin would be an option. However, if a patient is able to receive repeat injections, and is concerned about futurehearing loss, the steroid injections may be a better choice." ...
it’s a whopping 8 years (guestimation). could be 10 years, plus minus. for the first 3-4 years, steroids were used occasionally. towards the later years, steroids were used almost daily (because the rashes wont go away). Where did I use steroids on?
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is being described with increasing incidence among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD). There are no widely accepted guidelines in the medical literature for the appropriate management of this medical emergency. ...
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is commonly defined as a hearing loss of more than 30 decibels in three consecutive frequencies that occurs within 72 h. In most cases, it is considered idiopathic, and an evidence-based strategy to treat it is still debated. We aim to analyze the ...
Conclusions: Our study indicates that recovery from ISSNHL after ITS injections occurs more frequently >5 weeks after initiating treatment. This may be due to the natural history of sudden hearing loss or the prolonged effect of steroid in the inner ear. The ideal time to perform post-treatment...
