OBJECTIVE: To explore the treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss with steroid from different administration routes. METHOD: One hundred and eighty-eight patients with diagnosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss were selected, in accordance with the random number table, and all patients were divided into three groups. With different administration routes, they were devided into systemic steroid therapy group, intratympanic steroid therapy group and postauricular steroid therapy group,and the curative effects were collected and analyzed. RESULT: The total effective rate was 78.26% in systemic steroid therapy group, 80.70% in intratympanic steroid therapy group and 80.65% in postauricularsteroid therapy group,and no statistical difference was detected among these three groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss with steroid from different adminsthation routes all can achieve a relatively favorable prognosis, and there were no obvious different among those different treatments.
