Sudden deafness due to the majority of patients with unclear etiology, its treatment is based on empirical therapies, including: general treatment, drug therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and artificial assisted hearing therapy, need to be based on the degree of the disease and the characteristics of a reasonable choice, the various therapies there is no absolute best and worst.
1. General treatment: low-sodium, low-fat diet is good for reducing possible labyrinthine fluid, microvascular embolism and other conditions.
2.Drug therapy:
(1) Glucocorticoids: glucocorticoids such as prednisone, methylprednisolone and dexamethasone are commonly used in the clinical treatment of sudden deafness, which can be given orally, intravenously, or try tympanic chamber injections and retroauricular subperiosteal injections.
(2) Vasodilators: mainly include: calcium channel antagonists, histamine derivatives, and proprietary Chinese medicines to improve blood supply in order to improve local blood circulation, mainly betahistine mesylate and ginkgo biloba extract.
(3) Thrombolytic and anticoagulant drugs: plasma fibrinogen level, erythrocyte aggregation and plasma viscosity were significantly higher than that of the control group, suggesting that plasma fibrinogen level plays an important role in the pathogenesis of sudden deafness. Commonly used drugs include bacitracin, viper antithrombin, etc.
3. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has certain efficacy in clinical observation, and should be used as early as possible.
4. Artificial assisted hearing treatment: after the treatment of the affected ear still can not be healed, can consider wearing hearing aids, extreme deafness patients can choose cochlear implantation after exclusion of contraindications.
When suffering from sudden deafness, you need to actively seek medical attention, systematic examination to clarify the condition, and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
