Audiological outcomes of salvage intratympanic corticosteroid therapy in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intratympanic corticosteroids in patients with persistent idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss after systemic treatments.
• Analysis of patients who received intratympanic corticosteroid injections.
• Comparison of audiological outcomes before and after treatment.
• Assessment of treatment responses on a case-by-case basis.
• Intratympanic corticosteroid therapy led to limited improvement in hearing for many patients.
• The therapy was associated with low risks, making it a viable option to consider.
• Individual patient evaluations indicated varied responses to the treatment.
