Mit akar kideríteni a vizsgálat

Sudden hearing loss is an emergency in otolaryngology that requires diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. The golden treatment period is two weeks since the onset of the disease. However, modern medicine is still unable to fully understand the causes of the disease and in lack of corresponding effective treatments. Current therapies also have their own limitations and side effects. To find an effective and safe treatment, integrating with modern medicine and providing inpatient and outpatient medical care, is an important issue in clinical care. Traditional Chinese medicine has been clinically utilized for a long time with accumulated empirical experience and evidence for its efficacy. It can be used as an alternative therapeutic option for sudden hearing loss.
