Sudden Sensory-Neural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) is one of the most important otologic emergency. Although adding intratympanic (IT) steroids to systematic steroid may be beneficial, the exact timing of the IT injections to provide the best response needs further investigations. To compare different ...
Background: Currently the treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) by steroids is considered to be the most effective and common one. Nevertheless, there are many adverse effects of long-term systemic administration of steroids. Intratympanic administration of steroids, even in small ...

If idiopathic SSNHL doesn't improve with steroids alone, a healthcare provider may also recommend hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy. With this course of treatment, you might be placed in a hyperbaric chamber and treated with air compression, made to breathe 100% oxygen through a mask, and ...
Sopuch was diagnosed with sudden hearing loss. Doctors told him there was nothing they could do. "There's no way to fix that," Sopuch said he was told. Traditional methods like hearing aids were not guaranteed to help in his case. Steroids didn't work, either. And there isn't a dru...
There is several strengths in the present study. The SSNHL was diagnosed using multiple criteria. In addition to ICD-10 codes, the results of pure tone audiometry and treatment with steroids were investigated in this study. As a result, our annual incidence of SSNHL was approximately 42.6/10...
The present study aims to obtain a probability model allowing prediction of auditory recovery in patients affected by sudden sensorineural hearing loss treated exclusively with intratympanic steroids. A monocentric retrospective chart review of 381 patients has been performed. A Probit model was used to...
Treating idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss with injections of steroids directly into the ear appears to result in recovery of hearing that is not less than recovery obtained with the standard therapy of oral corticosteroids and may be a preferable treatment for some patients to avoid the ...
The current 'gold standard' of treatment for SSNHL is systemic steroid therapy in the dosage equivalent to prednisone 1 mg per kg per day for 7 to 10 days. Other treatments have been advocated but not been proven effective. Intratympanic application of steroids is a relatively new modality ...
