[Sudden deafness--on the age dependence of therapy results with reference to naftidrofuryl (Dusodril)]
Abstract:
The results of treatment of 100 patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss were analysed in three age groups (under 30, 30-60, over 60 years). The basic therapy consisted of Dextran, Diazepam and Vitamins. One half of the patients in each age group was treated with Naftidrofuryl (Dusodril) too. Sudden hearing loss was more profound in the elderly patients than in the younger ones, and the hearing gain (%) decreased with increasing age. The absolute (dB) hearing gain was more or less independent of age and Dusodril, and for all patients averaged 21 dB. Only the hearing gain (%) of the 30-60 year old patients treated with Dusodril was significantly greater than that of the control group treated without Dusodril.
