Comparison of Two Different Treatment Protocols Using Systemic and Intratympanic Steroids with and without Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Patients with Severe to Profound Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the addition of HBOT to steroid combination therapy does not improve the average PTA values in severe to profound ISSNHL; however, it was associated with a better outcome at 500 Hz 1 month after treatment and, at 1 kHz, WDS 3 months after treatment. The sum of complete and partial hearing recovery was significantly higher for the study group than for the control group.Audiol Neurotol 2018;23:199 –207 (Source: Audiology and Neurotology)
