ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), a condition where people experience a rapid loss of hearing that can happen without warning. The trial is taking place at Wonju Severance Christian Hospital and aims to track how well patients recover from this type of hearing loss. Patients will be evaluated based on their hearing tests and medical history, and those who qualify will receive different treatments, including a combination of medications and therapies designed to help improve their hearing.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be adults over 20 years old who have been diagnosed with sudden hearing loss that meets specific criteria. This means their hearing loss must be at least 30 decibels (a measure of hearing ability) and occurred within three days. Participants will be asked to give their written consent after understanding the purpose of the study. If you or someone you know is dealing with sudden hearing loss, this trial offers a chance to contribute to important research while potentially receiving helpful treatments.
