Aspirin and folic acid for sudden hearing loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests if taking aspirin and folic acid along with standard treatment helps people recover from sudden hearing loss in one ear. It may be an option if you recently lost hearing in one ear and are not already on aspirin or blood thinners.

This trial tests if oral steroids (corticosteroids) help people recover from a sudden, unexplained hearing loss in one ear. If you're eligible, you'll receive either steroid pills or a placebo to see how your hearing changes.
This study looks at people with sudden hearing loss of unknown cause to understand what makes it better or worse. Researchers will use advanced tests (like blood and imaging) to find patterns that might predict 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 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 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.
