Brief summary

Safety and efficacy of intracochlear injection of glucocorticoid through the round window membrane in patients with profound or complete sudden sensorineural hearing loss

Detailed description

The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether is it safe when profound or complete sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients receive intracochlear injection of glucocorticoid through the round window membrane. 2. Whether is it effective in reversing hearing capability when profound or complete sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients receive intracochlear injection of glucocorticoid through the round window membrane. 3. Whether is intracochlear glucocorticoid injection more effective than intratympanic glucocorticoid injection for treating profound or complete sudden sensorineural hearing loss. 4. Which glucocorticoid intracochlear injection is more effective in patients with profound or complete sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
