[Advances in diagnosis and therapies of immune-mediated inner ear diseases]

Immune-Mediated Inner Ear Diseases（IMIED） is one of the curable sensorineural hearing loss caused by abnormal immune response, which may be primary inner ear diseases or associated with systemic autoimmune diseases. Since the complex differential diagnosis and no reliable diagnostic tests, the early identification of IMIED was extremely tricky. The treatment still mainly depends on glucocorticoid, but as researchs move along, directing at different pathogenesis, more and more therapies have been proposed. This article reviews the diagnosis and different treatment methods of IMIED.
