Aspirin and folic acid for sudden hearing loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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 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 compares two treatments for sudden hearing loss: steroid pills taken by mouth or steroid injections into the ear. It aims to find which is more effective for patients who developed hearing loss within the last 2 weeks.
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 study uses brain imaging (fMRI) and blood tests to understand why some people with sudden hearing loss develop tinnitus (ringing in the ears) while others do not. It may help researchers find better ways to prevent or treat tinnitus.
This trial tests whether acupuncture can help restore hearing in people who suddenly lost hearing in one ear within the past few days. If you've had sudden unexplained hearing loss, this study may help determine if acupuncture is an effective treatment.
