Approximately 30-50% of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) patients show poor response to systemic steroid therapy.

Subjects
ITS combined with HBO therapy; continued systemic steroids; hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy; intratympanic injection of steroid (ITS); network meta-analysis; post auricle steroid injection (PSI); refractory sudden sensorineural hearing loss
