Intratympanic steroid administration and predictors of recovery in sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss patient outcomes remain highly variable despite established treatment modalities. This study investigates the effects of treatment modalities, individual-level risk factors, and clinical presentation on sudden sensorineural hearing loss recovery.

Methods

Retrospective chart review of n = 231 patients who initiated intratympanic steroids between 01/01/2015-01/01/2025 following sudden sensorineural hearing loss. We collected individual-level risk factors and comprehensive audiometric data. Logistic and linear regression analyses were performed to identify relationships between patient, disease, and treatment-related variables to audiometric recovery (pure-tone average and word recognition score). Segmented linear regression analysis
