OBJECTIVE: To compare effectiveness of four different treatment protocols in idiopathic sudden hearing loss (ISHL). Patients and Methods: The patients with ISHL were divided into four groups according to the treatment protocols applied; Group 1 (n=67) was treated with rheomacrodex, pentoxyphiline, heparin, papaverine, famotidine, and methylprednisolone 1 mg/kg/day iv. Group 2 (n=39), group 3 (n=19) and group 4 (n=60) were treated with acyclovir, famotidine, and methylprednisolone (1 mg/kg/day, 2 mg/kg/day and 3 mg/kg/day, respectively).
