Abstract:

Objective   To investigate the efficacy of intratympanic dexamethasone injection through the  pharyngotympanic tube (PTIDI)for 20 patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL). Methods   Deamethasone(5mg) was injected into the middle ear through the pharyngotympanic tube for 20 patients of SSNHL sensorneural hearing loss. The medication was repeated every day until a total of 7-10 doses(3550mg) was reached. Results   The 20 patients were followed up for two weeks. One (5%) recovered completely, Three (15%) demonstrated a 32dBHL improvement in PTA, and 11 (55%) showed no response. Conclusions   PTIDI is a simple and effective treatment for SSNHL. It can be applied to the patients who failed to respond to conventional treatment and can avoided the side effects followed  by highdosage systemic corticostemid treatment.
