Short-term effects of intravenous batroxobin in treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss: a propensity score-matched study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) can cause great panic in patients. Whether it is advantageous to add intravenous batroxobin in the treatment of SSNHL remains to be determined.
