Abstract

Introduction: In the ORL-HNS, acute low-tone sensorineural hearing loss (ALHL) is an emergency that needs to be treated right away. The hearing loss in ALHL is restricted to low-tone frequencies, and it has a superior prognosis compared to idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL). The administration of systemic corticosteroids was said to provide positive outcomes. Aim: to ascertain the effects of steroid treatment in patients with ALHL without diuretics. Case Report: A 36-year-old lady was identified as having dyslipidemia and bilateral acute low-tone sensorineural hearing loss. Patients had complete bed rest, oxygen treatment, simvastatin, vitamins B and C, and high-dosage oral corticosteroids (tapering off). Method: Through the Cochrane database, PubMed, and Google Scholar, evidence-based literature studies on the management of ALHL are available. Conclusion: The ORL-HNS department considers ALHL to be an emergency that needs to be treated right away to improve the prognosis. With corticosteroids as the primary treatment and no diuretics in combination, PTA has improved with favorable outcomes. It is essential to assess the effectiveness of therapy throughout both short- and long-term follow-ups.
