To study the effective treatment of sudden deafness by giving prednisone, hyperbaric oxygen and somatosensory stimulation to sudden deafness patients.
60 cases of sudden deafness within 2 months of 14-80 years old were randomly divided into two groups. They underwent hearing tests, magnetic resonance imaging of the head, and routine hospital admissions. One group was given prednisone for 1 mg / kg body weight × 7 days + somatosensory stimulation × 30 days, the other group was given prednisone for 1 mg / kg body weight × 7 days + hyperbaric oxygen × 15 days, and repeated electrical audiometry every week. One month and three months after the experiment, repeated audiometry.
