Abstract
The literature on therapy of Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (ISSHL) is reviewed. Clinical trials are judged on comparativeness, internal and external validity. It is concluded that steroids are the only treatment available with a significant beneficial effect on ISSHL. Recommendations are made with regard to a well designed clinical trial on the treatment of ISSHL.
