Few studies have investigated the effect of steroids on idiopathic sudden hearing loss (ISHL). Recently, Wilson, et al., reported a double blind study demonstrating a statistically significant improvement of hearing using steroids in ISHL. This report, fashioned after the Wilson study, confirms his findings and analyzes the relationship of several factors to the probability of hearing recovery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
