Brief summary

During the regular protocol of Intra-tympanic injections of Dexamethasone to the middle ear due to Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss, the patients will be sitted once after the injection instead of lying down. They will be then asked to rate their taste as a reference to the amount of fluid leaking to the throat through the eustachian tube.
