Menezes et al. recently published an interesting study on cardiovascular prognostic factors for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), analyzing therapeutic strategies with intravenous and intratympanic corticosteroids and evaluating the application of the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation risk scale to classify risk in patients with SSNHL. In addition to intravenous and intratympanic corticosteroids, we would like to stress the role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). The new guidelines on SSNHL and the most recent scientific evidence emphasize the therapeutic role of HBOT.
