Introduction and goals

Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a hearing disorder of unknown cause. The spontaneous recovery rate ranges from 50 to 75%of the patients. Scientific experiments on animals support the present study in patients with sudden deafness treated with sounds.

Patients and methods

During the period 2003-2009, patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss were administered steroids, piracetam and antioxidants, together with the addition of sounds by means of music and words.

Results

Comparing the results of patients treated with medication (n = 65) and those treated with medication and sounds (n = 67), it was observed that patients treated with medication and sounds had higher recovery. Within the group of patients treated with medication and sounds, 25 (37%) experienced complete recovery, 28 (42%) good recovery, 11 (16%) slight recovery and 3 (5%) poor or no recovery.

Conclusion

The patients who recovered more than half of their audition accounted for 54%in the group treated with medication and for 79%in the group of patients receiving medication and sounds. Auditory recuperation showed no alterations, at least up to 12 months after therapy.
