    Journal: Acta Otolaryngol Suppl; 2007 Feb; (557):22-5. PubMed ID: 17453438.
    Abstract:
    CONCLUSION: Diuretics significantly improved hearing in patients with contralateral-type DEH, whereas they did not inpatients with ipsilateral-type DEH. OBJECTIVE: We report a review of 26 cases of DEH treated in recent 6 years. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study group comprised 22 contralateral and 4 ipsilateral types of DEH. The efficacy of diuretics on the improvement in hearing was examined quantitatively. The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBO) on hearing was examined in six patients. RESULTS: The general properties of these cases were similar to those reported previously, except for the high proportion of patients with contralateral-type DEH. Diuretics significantly improved the hearing of patients with contralateral-type DEH. In contrast, no significant improvement by diuretics was noted in ipsilateral-type DEH.
