Active clinical trials for "Hearing Loss, Sudden"

The purpose of this study is to determine if anakinra (an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist) can improve hearing thresholds in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss that did not respond to oral steroid therapy. The patients to be enrolled will have recently completed a course of oral steroids and demonstrated no change in their audiometric thresholds following corticosteroid therapy. The investigators will be measuring hearing thresholds (Pure tone average and word recognition scores) before and after anakinra and correlating these findings with circulating IL-1 levels in the patient's blood.

This is a Phase 1b, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, multicenter, safety study of FX-322, administered by intratympanic injection, in adults with severe sensorineural hearing loss.

This trial aims to compare the efficacy of oral prednisone vs. methylprednisolone injected into the middle ear for the treatment of moderate-to-severe, sudden sensorineural hearing loss (inner ear hearing loss affecting one ear that occurs over less than 72 hours).

This is a Phase 2, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy of FX-322, administered by intratympanic injection, in adults with acquired sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).

This is a Phase 1b, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, multicenter, safety study of FX-322, administered by intratympanic injection, in adults with age-related sensorineural hearing loss.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an intratympanic continuous two-week application of dexamethasone compared to placebo using a temporarily implanted catheter in patients with severe to profound sudden sensorineural hearing loss and insufficient recovery after initial systemic prednisolone therapy.

This study studies the prevalence between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and sensorineural hearing loss. We recruit patients who have been treated for sudden sensorineural hearing loss in Poitiers' University Hospital between 2010 et 2017, and we detect if they have OSA with a ventilatory polygraphy.

For patients with sudden hearing loss, the initial treatment is not usually effective. We use Dexamethasone or Methylprednisolone to be an Intratympanic steroid administration as a salvage treatment. An randomized, double-blind, multi-center study is designed to find the difference between Dexamethasone or Methylprednisolone.

The incidence of sudden hearing loss is rising obviously resent year, Glucocorticoids have obtained obvious effect in the treatment of sudden deafness. Postauricular hypodermic injection is the latest findings in clinical work and a new noninvasive way of administration which is gradually expanding research. The aim of this experiment is to verify and explore the efficacy and safety of the postauricular injection treatment with different doses of Glucocorticoids.

Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) is a complicated hearing impairment with unclear etiology and unsatisfying treatment effects. Vestibular dysfunction like vertigo has been considered as a risk factor of profound hearing loss and poor prognosis in ISSNHL. Glucocorticoids, administered through oral or intratympanic way, is currently a regular and standard treatment for ISSNHL based on hearing outcome. However, little investigations have been conducted on recovery process and treatment effects of glucocorticoids on vestibular dysfunctions of ISSNHL. This study aims to evaluate the recovery pattern and possible process of vestibular system in ISSNHL with vestibular dysfunction, and to compare the efficacy of oral or intratympanic glucocorticoids in these participants. A randomized, outcome assessor- and statistical analyst-blinded, controlled, clinical trial will be carried out. 72 patients complaining of vestibular dysfunction appearing as vertigo, dizziness, imbalance or lateropulsion with ISSNHL will be recruited and randomized into two arms of oral or intratympanic glucocorticoids therapy in 1:1 allocation. The primary outcomes will be subjective feelings evaluated by duration of vestibular dysfunction symptoms, dizziness-related handicap, visual analogue scale for vertigo, and objective vestibular function tests results assessed by sensory organization test, caloric test, video head impulse test and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials. Assessment will be performed at baseline and at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-randomization.
