Separate names with a comma.
Meta analysis: No difference between intratympanic and oral steroids at all. Combining them also makes no difference. → Intratympanic vs Systemic...
For me, choosing intratympanic over oral Prednisone wasn’t because I thought there’d be a better outcome, it was because the significant potential...
I would give the Prednisone a shot if you are within the two week window (as specified in the below study). There is also a chance that the...
I don't know how many posts like this I've read and no doubt will continue to read in the future. Doctors don't tend to know about emergency...
I found an interesting paper stressing the importance of starting HBOT within 12 days after onset: Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss:...
60 mg is standard dosage for sudden hearing loss. Vitamin A, C, E, Magnesium, + NAC may be helpful. Free radical scavengers, vitamins A, C, and...
Has anyone seen this research? Looks like it came out in August 2020. If I'm reading this correctly, they seem to be suggesting the median time...
I wanted to bump this thread. I have found many studies that show promise in intratympanic steroid treatment for tinnitus. Question is, would this...
Thank you Lane, I will look into it :) I had a look at your post and you mention that HBOT helped you to stay calm about tinnitus and I was...
The trauma hospital where I worked had 6 ENTs and 4 outpatient ENTs that provided corticosteroid methylprednisolone injections. None of the...
My otologist told me that. He basically wanted to give me everything for my hearing loss but the ototoxicity it turned out to be. The literature...
Another supposed cause of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss is possible vascular issues. Does anyone know if poor blood flow will...
Same here! Just one year in! How about you?
It may be that people with good experiences aren't here in the first place. Also, given the financial and logistical challenges of HBOT, it's...
I'll check it out, thanks. By the way, a flat audiogram is not that uncommon in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss. They come in all...
What is your taper schedule? 14-day course of 60 mg prednisone (with taper)?
60 mg prednisone is the standard for acoustic trauma as far as I know. Maybe you are thinking of Prednisolone or Dexamethosone which I believe...
Maybe this is a negligible thing, but I wonder if there's a data bias in the sense that people seeking out the big clinics are more likely to have...
Hello everyone, My tinnitus started in late February two days after catching a cold. I recovered from the cold in 2 weeks, but the tinnitus...
Interesting article for those with ISSNHL, even if effect on tinnitus is not mentioned. Comparison among Three Different Steroid Therapies for...

Okay, this will be the last voting round for 2021, so please take the opportunity to vote (once again) now! [NB: You need to be logged in to...
I'm an idiot but I can't understand the outcome data.
Here are the study results: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/results/NCT00097448 Study details: Brief Summary: This trial aims to compare...
Thank you so much for sharing the article. I was not aware that there could be spontaneous tinnitus recovery with ISSNHL. Interestingly, I...
I ran across a testimonial a few days ago by a person who claimed that taking high doses of Vitamin C within 24 hours of an acoustic trauma can...
Your study is for idiopathic loss, not acoustic trauma. Which may point to it being better for viral causes since that's suspected to be a common...
Hi, Yes... I have been looking for someone "like me".... my story different.. and will explain - But MOST interested in the "I can hear myself...
Warm welcome to the forum. Sometimes matching other members who are reading your post and who have similar symptoms may not bring enough response...

I am glad that you are getting the treatment that you need. Check out...
Reading though again, the clogged ear is definitely is a sign of inflammation. Also, since your had the infection in-between traumatic episodes...
The more I look into this drug, the more I believe Sound Pharmaceuticals really know this drug will be effective for many non-Ménière’s patients...
I do. I was first (mis) diagnosed as SSNHL. It was really sudden, as in "I woke up in the morning and my hearing was noticeably impaired. When I...
Have you experienced fluctuations or permanent hearing loss in the past or currently? I have been doing a lot of reading and I learned that...
I reckon the major reason why it has taken so long to complete the required research and actual trials is because Sound Pharmaceuticals firstly...
It's that time again! You get to vote on the best research paper of the past month. Simply: 1) Read the summaries below — especially created for...
Inhibition of Brain Area and Functional Connectivity in Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss with Tinnitus Based on Resting-state EEG...
Darn it!
It's anti-inflammatory. It doesn't allow cells to die, so only for acute, I think. Nothing new. Inclusion Criteria: Male or female patients aged...
Hello to all, I have been aware of this forum for about a month now and thought I would introduce myself posting to see if anyone else has had...

Although there is some debate between clinicians’ experience, both older and newer research suggests that testing frequencies beyond 10kHz may...
That would be tinnitus resulting from ssnhl. I believe they were talking about idiopathic tinnitus with no detectable hearing loss. Though,...
Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (ISSHL) = hearing loss with unknown cause. T that accompanies ISSHL has no known origin:
I don't think so, unfortunately. I have been looking into Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. It sounds like it is most promising within 14 days of onset,...

How long did it take them to recover?! And does this count only for those with hearing loss or also people with only tinnitus without any hearing...
This would seem to support the hypothesis that a recovery in the hearing has a (physiological) positive outcome on the T.
Well that's depressing for my severe hearing loss. Plus, there's another reference to three months. However, it does say that tinnitus is still...
Some explanations have been given by an ENT and he mentions an 85% success rate (http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws/wetenschap/1.2992407). He...
