| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to compare hearing improvements obtained with combined intratympanic and systemic steroid therapy, and systemic steroid therapy alone in pediatric patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL). STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective. SETTING: Tertiary referral hospital. PATIENTS: Pediatric patients with SSHL. INTERVENTIONS: The patients were divided into two groups, based on the method of steroid administration: Group 1 (systemic therapy group, nâ=â23) was treated with oral methylprednisolone alone whereas Group 2 (combination therapy group, nâ=â26) was treated with combination of oral methylprednisolone and intratympanic dexamethasone injections. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pre- and post-treatment audiograms were compared with pure-tone averages (PTAs) in each group. Two treatment groups were also compared. The final hearing assessment was performed 4 weeks after completion of the treatment. RESULTS: The mean PTAs before and after the treatment were 61.86â±â23.99 and 42.65â±â32.69âdB in Group 1 (pâ=â0.001), and 70.07â±â29.74 and 38.85â±â32.28âdB in Group 2 (pâ=â0.001). Pure-tone gain was 20.00â±â15.02âdB in Group 1, and 31.69â±â28.29âdB in Group 2. Comparison of two groups for post-treatment PTA and pure-tone gains did not yield any statistically significant differences (pâ=â0.388 and pâ=â0.132, respectively). CONCLUSION: Significant hearing improvement may be obtained with use of systemic steroids alone, or simultaneous administration of systemic and intratympanic steroids in pediatric patients with SSHL. Although we did not have a control group, two treatment options appear to offer similar hearing improvements in the pediatric age group higher than the rates obtained with placebo when previous studies in the literature are taken into account. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
