To explore the pathogenesis of tinnitus.Retrospective analysis of 192 patients with sudden deafness was done with the characteristics.Charactier of tinnitus and the factors that may affect tinnitus.The intense of tinnitus is related with sex,χ²=14.704,<0.01,and with age increased,the difference was more significant.The intense of tinnitus has not significant difference between age group with 45 years old(χ² =6.515,>0.05) and the classification of sudden deafness and the degree of hearing loss(χ²=7.783,>0.05,χ²=17.374,>0.05).Tinnitus was the protection mechanism of the body,and the intensity was irrelevant to hearing loss.On one hand,there may be different modulate systems between different individual,on the other hand,women over 45 years old were more suffered from the severe tinnitus.

Background: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is associated with abnormal changes in the brain's central nervous system. Previous studies on the brain networks of SSNHL have primarily focused on functional connectivity within the brain. However, in addition to functional connectivity, structural connectivity also plays a crucial role in brain networks.

Purpose: Acute acoustic trauma (AAT) is a sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) due to exposure to high intensity impulse noise. There are no acceptable treatment guidelines, although several studies showed steroids could be effective in restoring hearing levels. A recent report suggested that steroids combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) are a superior regiment for AAT.

Purpose: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) is an abrupt hearing loss, often of unknown cause. Apheresis is a treatment option aimed at improving blood hemorheology by removing pathogenic blood components. There are currently no previous meta-analyses on its efficacy.

Objective: Our study tried to evaluate and compare the therapeutic efficacy of intratympanic injection of dexamethasone (DEX) at different concentrations for the treatment of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL).
Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted on 203 patients with unilateral ISSNHL. Patients were divided into four groups: the control group (n = 47, systemic treatment only), the high-concentration group (n = 51, intratympanic injection of DEX 20 mg/ml), the medium-concentration group (n = 55, 10 mg/ml), and the low-concentration group (n = 50, 5 mg/ml).
