New Exosome Treatment for Sudden Hearing Loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to deliver anti-inflammatory medicine directly into the ear using tiny particle carriers called exosomes. It's designed for people who lost hearing suddenly without a clear cause and didn't improve with standard steroid pills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–65 years
- Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (significant loss in at least three frequency ranges) that started within the last 14 days
- Either didn't improve after trying standard steroid pills for 7–14 days, or cannot take steroids for medical reasons
- No known cause for the hearing loss (e.g., no tumor, no head injury, no Meniere's disease)
- No active middle ear infection or hole in the eardrum
- No immunocompromise, autoimmune disease, or blood clotting disorder

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new treatment for sudden, severe hearing loss that hasn't improved with standard care. A single injection of stem cell particles is given into the ear to see if it safely restores hearing.
This trial tests a new treatment for sudden deafness that uses special particles made from your own blood cells. The treatment is injected into the ear to help restore hearing. It may be an option if you have recently lost hearing in one ear and have not had other treatments.
This trial tests whether injecting a steroid combined with hyaluronic acid into the ear can help restore hearing after sudden sensory neural hearing loss. It's a single-arm study, meaning everyone gets the same treatment.
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 trial tests a steroid injection directly into the inner ear to treat sudden, severe hearing loss that hasn't improved after 14 days of standard treatment. It may help people who have not responded to usual care.
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.
