Abstract: Objective This study aimed to analyze the impact of postauricular injection of ganglioside combined with intratympanic injection of methylprednisolone on word recognition score(WRS)and its influencing factors in patients with unilateral refractory sudden deafness. Methods This study included 58 patients with refractory sudden deafness who were treated with postauricular ganglioside injection combined with intratympanic methylprednisolone injection. Data was collected on the patients' age, sex, disease duration, ear category, concomitant symptoms, and pure tone audiometry(PTA)and speech audiometry results pre- and post-treatment. The PTA results and the maximum speech recognition rate(WRSmax)were statistically analyzed pre- and post-treatment. Logistic regression analysis was applied to identify factors that improve WRS. Results Patients with refractory sudden deafness showed significant improvements in PTA and WRS in the affected ear after treatment(P=0.027,P=0.038). Furthermore, a negative correlation was observed between PTA and WRS(r=-0.682, P<0.05). Univariate analysis revealed that age, sex, precipitating factors, affected ear, concomitant symptoms, and WRS were not significantly correlated(P=0.693, P=0.208,P=0.079, P=0.335, P=0.331)), and the differences were not statistically significant. However, time from onset to the first visit, degree of hearing damage, and type of hearing curve were identified as important factors that influenced improvement in WRS(P=0.010, P=0.033, P=0.026). Conclusion Administration of postauricular ganglioside combined with intratympanic methylprednisolone resulted in a 41.38% improvement in WRS for patients with refractory sudden deafness. Improvement in WRS was also influenced by the time from onset to the first visit, degree of hearing impairment, and type of hearing curve. The improvement in WRS was significantly worse in those with a longer time from onset to first visit than in those with a shorter duration; however, it was significantly better in those with low-frequency hearing loss than in those with flat and high-frequency hearing loss after treatment with the aforementioned methods. The severity of hearing impairment negatively impacted improvement in WRS.
