Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a prospective, randomized pilot study. To verify an efficacy/safety of the mixed drug injectable delivery vehicle for treating intractable hearing loss. Hearing test, endoscopy of tympanic membrane and CT scans will be conducted after intratympanic treatment for evaluation.

Description:

The goal of this clinical trial (pilot study) is to evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Combined Hyaluronic Acid and Dexamethasone Treatment in Patients with Hearing Loss. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Q1. Verification of safety, • Q2. Therapeutic effect of drug injection on sensorineural hearing loss. Participants will undergo several assessment tests (Verification of adverse effects in the external and middle ear through endoscopy, Confirmation of adverse effects through imaging, Hearing test to check for additional hearing loss, Check if subjective ear fullness persists for more than a week aside from the drug effect). If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare dexamethasone and hyaluronic acid to verify hearing improvement and safety.
