Objectives: This study aims to investigate the correlation between serum anti-heat-shock protein 70 (anti-HSP 70) levels, serum paraoxonase (PON) levels and prognosis of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL). Patients and Methods: Twenty-five patients with ISSHL as the study group and 25 healthy volunteers as the control group were enrolled in this study. Blood samples were obtai...

Purpose. The aim of this study is the investigation of the effectiveness of intratympanic steroids therapy (IST) in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) who had not responded to intravenous treatment, evaluating the overall hearing recovery and comparing the results with different variables. Materials and Methods. Our study consisted of 55 patients with refractory ...

An endothelial dysfunction has been described in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) patients. The purpose of our review was to: i) identify, evaluate and review recent research about cardiovascular risk factors involvement and signs of endothelial dysfunction in ISSHL; ii) implication of these discovering in clinical practice and future research. A Medline literature search wa...

BACKGROUND Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) with or without tinnitus is common and presents a health problem with significant effect on quality of life. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may improve oxygen supply to the inner ear and thereby result in an improvement in hearing and/or a reduction in the intensity of tinnitus. OBJECTIVES To assess the benefits and harms of HB...

INTRODUCTION Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (ISSHL) is defined when a loss of at least 30 dB occurs in over 3 continuous frequencies, in up to 72 hours, of which etiology is not established, despite adequate investigation. Different types of treatment regimens have been proposed, but only glucocorticoids have shown some evidence of benefit in the literature. OBJECTIVE To analyze...

OBJECTIVE To determine hearing recovery in patients with idiopathic sudden hearing loss treated with varying amounts of oral steroids. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING A retrospective chart review (n = 75) in a tertiary care clinic examined sudden hearing loss patients treated with 1 60-mg prednisone taper, 1 course of steroid less than a 60-mg taper, or any 2 courses of oral steroid. RESULTS Overa...

BACKROUND Only few therapeutic options exist for patients with refractory sudden idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss (SISHL). Little is known about the efficacy of second-line therapies. Rheopheresis seems to be an effective therapeutic possibility. METHODS Between 2012 and 2015, 106 patients with SISHL were enrolled in the study, of whom 52 were refractory to initial treatment. As salvage ...

Purpose of the Work. This article offers an overview of recent advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of four complex auditory disorders, all of which involve sensorineural hearing loss but have, in addition, other significant extra-auditory attributes unique to that condition. These conditions are noise-induced hearing loss, idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss, otosc...
