Abstract
Six patients developed sudden onset of hearing loss after being exposed to acoustic trauma.
Administration of steroids, low molecular weight dextran and stellate ganglion block were done for treatment.
Of 6 cases, hearing acuity recovered completely in 1 case, markedly improved in 2 cases, slightly in 2 cases and 1 remained unchanged.
The author concluded that early adequate treatment might be more effective to ricover the hearing loss in acute acoustic trauma.
