The patients were 14 to 66 years old and complained of otalgia, hearing loss and tinnitus. They were treated with antibiotics combined with steroids, adenosine triphosphate and vitamins. Following results were obtained; complete recovery of hearing loss in 10 cases, moderate recovery in 5 cases and no recovery in a case but in 5 cases final audiological result was not obtained.
