Intratympanic plus systemic corticosteroids (combined therapy) vs systemic corticosteroids alone

Change in hearing threshold determined by PTA Range 0 dB to 140 dB Negative values represent lowering and positive values represent raising of the hearing threshold. A lower hearing threshold represents hearing improvement. Â · sudden sensorineural hearing loss

Intratympanic plus systemic corticosteroids (combined therapy) showed no clear difference in change in hearing threshold determined by PTA Range 0 dB to 140 dB… compared with systemic corticosteroids alone (low certainty).
