ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the efficacy of intratympanic dexamethasone injection for the moderate and severe sudden deafness with BPPV.@*METHOD@#A total of 63 patients diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss with BPPV were treated through OPD. Patients were divided into three groups 20 cases in intratympanic dexamethasone injection as initial treatment (group A); 18 cases in systemic hormone therapy group (group B); 25 cases in intratympanic dexamethasone injection as salvage treatment (group C). In addition, routine drugs were used to all patients.@*RESULT@#The overall effective rate of group A, B and C in hearing recovery was 60.0%, 38.9% and 48.0%, respectively (1) No significant difference of hearing recovery was observed among three groups (P > 0.05); (2) A significant difference of hearing recovery was evidenced between group A and C (P 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Our data showed that intratympanic dexamethasone should be used as initial therapy for treating the moderate and severe sudden deafness with BPPV.
