Intracochlear Injection of Glucocorticoid

Summary

This study is a prospective, randomized pilot study. To verify safety and efficacy of intracochlear injection of glucocorticoid through the round window membrane in patients with total sudden sensorineural hearing loss safety and efficacy in total sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients as an early salvage therapy.
