Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the effects of treatment modalities on healing in patients diagnosed with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
Material and Method: In this study, we retrospectively reviewed the records of 65 patients diagnosed with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and treated as inpatients. The treatment modalities applied to the patients were determined randomly.
Results: The effect of intra-tympanic steroid and / or hyperbaric oxygen therapy in addition to intravenous steroid on 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz frequencies and improvement in bone conduction was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Although intra-tympanic steroid or hyperbaric oxygen therapy in addition to intravenous steroid therapy, which is the standard treatment of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss, does not increase the rate of improvement and speed, it may help to reduce the undesirable effects of the steroid dose.
