Background: Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) is defined as a decline in hearing affecting three or more frequencies by 30 dB
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of intratympanic steroids as a salvage treatment for severe ISSNHL.
One of the most common complaints among the elderly is the inability to understand speech in noisy environments. In many cases, these deficits are due to age-related hearing loss; however, some of the elderly that have difficulty hearing in noise have clinically normal pure-tone thresholds. While speech in noise testing is informative, it fails to identify specific frequencies responsible for the speech processing deficit.
