Prognostic Factors Influencing the Tinnitus Improvement After Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss Treatment

This article looked at how tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, can be improved after treatment for sudden hearing loss. The researchers studied 137 patients with tinnitus who received treatment for their sudden hearing loss. They found that the type of hearing loss pattern, the pitch of the tinnitus, and the severity of the tinnitus before treatment were all important factors in predicting how well the tinnitus improved after treatment.
