Abstract

Objective: Describe the treatment methods of sudden deafness and its application in clinical practice, in which in-depth analysis of corticosteroid treatment methods. Methods: A scoping review. Results: Out of a total of 574 articles searched on Pubmed database, the Cochrane library has 18 research articles on the treatment of profound sudden hearing loss, of which 12 articles evaluate the results of treatment with corticosteroids. The use of corticosteroids in the treatment can be systemic therapy, intratympanic steroid injection or a combination of both. Conclusion: Corticosteroid treatment is the main treatment method, in which systemic corticosteroids combined with intratympanic steroid injection have positive results in patients with profound sudden hearing loss. When comparing primary and salvage intraympanic injections, the final hearing recovery was independent of the time of injection.
