Abstract |
The results of treatment of 100 patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss were analysed in three age groups (under 30, 30-60, over 60 years). The basic therapy consisted of Dextran, Diazepam and Vitamins. One half of the patients in each age group was treated with Naftidrofuryl ( Dusodril) too. Sudden hearing loss was more profound in the elderly patients than in the younger ones, and the hearing gain (%) decreased with increasing age. The absolute (dB) hearing gain was more or less independent of age and Dusodril, and for all patients averaged 21 dB. Only the hearing gain (%) of the 30-60 year old patients treated with Dusodril was significantly greater than that of the control group treated without Dusodril.
