There is a lot of controversy about the efficacy of intratympanic steroid (ITS) therapy in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL). ITS are reported to have effect on ISSNHL and ITS with additional systemic therapy are also effective. In the primary treatment of ISSHL, achieving the correct diagnosis rapidly is paramount, as early initial treatment greatly increases the chance of hearing recovery.
