Oral steroids for sudden hearing loss in one ear
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking oral steroids (corticosteroids) can help treat sudden hearing loss in one ear that happens for no known reason. If you qualify, you will receive either the steroid or a placebo (a pill with no active medicine) to see if it improves your hearing.

This trial tests whether aspirin and folic acid can help people recover from sudden hearing loss in one ear. It compares these supplements against standard care (usually steroids) to see if they improve hearing recovery.
This trial tests an experimental medicine called NS101 for people who have had a sudden, severe hearing loss in one ear that did not get better with standard steroid treatment. The goal is to see if NS101 can help restore hearing better than steroids alone.
This study looks at sudden hearing loss that happens without a clear cause. Researchers want to understand what happens in the body (like genes and other markers) and how people recover. If you join, you may help doctors learn more about this condition, and your participation could lead to better treatments and predictions for others.
This trial tests whether giving steroids directly into the inner ear can improve hearing in people with profound sudden hearing loss that didn't improve with standard treatment. It aims to see if this treatment can help recover more hearing.
