What is it about?
Between 01. 01. 2015and 31. 12. 2016, 149 patients with sudden hearing loss were admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University of Pécs. The epidemiological data, the prognostic factors and the outcome of the treatment were retrospectively analyzed. The therapy is based on high dose intravein steoid.

Why is it important?
Isolated high frequency and less severe hearing loss, older age comorbodities like cardiovascular disease and diabetes were found as negative prognostic factors. Time of introduction of the treatment, gender, and side of the affected ear did not influence the outcome.
Perspectives
We have to know much more about the pathology of this disease, that is why we have to make more and more studies to figure what can couse it and how we can treath it.
