Otolaryngologists are more likely to treat with steroids beyond one week of onset of hearing loss whereas general practitioners overwhelmingly will only treat within the first week. Approximately 50 percent of otolaryngologists add antiviral medications in contrast to 16 percent of generalists. The approach to SSHL differs between otolaryngologists ...Continue Reading
