Purpose: The efficacies of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO), systemic steroid, prostaglandin E-1 or the combination of any two modalities have been reported in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL). However, little is known about the combined efficacy of HBO, systemic steroid, and prostaglandin E-1 for this disorder. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of HBO combined with systemic steroids and prostaglandin E-1 as triple therapy in patients with ISSNHL.Materials and methods: We retrospectively evaluated the records of 67 patients with ISSNHL who were treated with systemic steroid and prostaglandin E-1 with (n = 38) or without (n = 29) HBO. The inclusion criteria included a diagnosis of ISSNHL within 14 days of symptom onset, age >= 15 years, treatment according to the protocol, and clinical follow-up of at least 1 month. The patients' hearing levels were evaluated 1 month after hearing loss onset. The primary outcome was hearing improvement on pure tone audiometry. We also evaluated the demographic profiles of patients.Results: Patients treated with triple therapy showed significantly greater hearing improvement (p < 0.01) than those treated without HBO, despite some differences between the two treatment groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between pure tone audiometry improvement and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, after adjustment for confounding factors (odds ratio = 7.42; 95% and confidence interval = 2.37-23.3; p = 0.001).Conclusion: HBO with systemic steroid and prostaglandin E-1 administration conferred significant therapeutic benefits for ISSNHL. Therefore, routine use of triple therapy is recommended for patients with ISSNHL.
