Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of dexamethasone through different methods of administration in treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
METHOD:One hundred cases of sudden sensorineural hearing loss were retrospectively studied, in which patients were divided into 2 groups as A and B. The cases were treated with dexamethasone intravenous injection in A group and intratympanic application in B group.
RESULT:The total effective rate was 66.00% in A group and 68.00% in B group. The difference between the total effective rate in group A and B did not reach significance in statistics (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION:The effect of dexamethasone intravenous injection and intratympanic application on treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss has no difference.
