ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
The effectiveness of intratympanic dexamethasone injections (ITD) alone is compared against the combination therapy of ITD and oral diuretics as treatments for acute low frequency sensorineural hearing loss (LFHL) without vertigo. SUBJECTS ANDMETHOD:
A total of 36 patients, with LFHL 0.05). For subjective symptoms, there were no statistically significant differences in the improvement rate in either group (combination 58.8% vs. ITD only 63.2%, p>0.05). In pure tone audiometry, the improvement rate of the combination group was not significantly different from that of the ITD only group (76.5% vs. 73.7%, p>0.05). There was a significant correlation between the complete recovery rate and duration of symptoms.CONCLUSION:
ITD alone is an effective treatment modality for LFHL within 1 month after onset. Diuretics have no additive effect for the recovery of hearing in patients with acute LFHL without vertigo.
