Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a condition, in which an idiopathic rapid unilateral decline in hearing thresholds is seen. In this review, the latest research is summarised. In Denmark, the traditional treatment is systemic steroids (SST), but new research reveals, that the use of SST lacks evidence. There is significant evidence for the use of intratympanic steroid injections (ITSI) as salvage treatment. The use of ITSI as first-line treatment, as well as combined with SST, is found to be of equal effect as SST alone. A national Danish clinical guideline is needed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003639 Hearing Loss, Sudden Sensorineural hearing loss which develops suddenly over a period of hours or a few days. It varies in severity from mild to total deafness. Sudden deafness can be due to head trauma, vascular diseases, infections, or can appear without obvious cause or warning. Deafness, Sudden,Sudden Deafness,Sudden Hearing Loss

D005938 Glucocorticoids A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. They also play a role in fat and protein metabolism, maintenance of arterial blood pressure, alteration of the connective tissue response to injury, reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, and functioning of the central nervous system.
