Intratympanic Steroids for Sudden Hearing Loss

Intratympanic Dexamethasone or Methylprednisolone for Sudden Hearing Loss as a Salvage Treatment: a Randomized, Double-blind, Multi-center Study

For patients with sudden hearing loss, the initial treatment is not usually effective. We use Dexamethasone or Methylprednisolone to be an Intratympanic steroid administration as a salvage treatment. An randomized, double-blind, multi-center study is designed to find the difference between Dexamethasone or Methylprednisolone.
