EVAlUATION OF INTRATYMPANIC CORTICOSTEROID FOR TREATMENT IDIOPATHIC SUDDEN SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS TYPE E
Main Article Content
Abstract
Idopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss type E has a poor prognosis for recovery, and there is still controversy in treatment. Intratympanic corticosteroid is considered as an initial or combined treatment for SSNHL. We conducted a study on 62 patients diagnosed idopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss type E and received intratympanic corticosteroid in treatment. Evaluate clinical characteristics, pure-tone audiometry and treatment outcomes. The mean post-treatment pure-tone average (PTA) threshold was 93.73 ± 23.6 dB. The rate of no improvement after treatment is the highest (82.3%), followed by slight improvement at 11.3%, partial recovery at 4.8%, and complete recovery at 1.6%. After intratympanic, patiens usually have no complications (83.9%).
