Treatment of Sudden deaf, steroid only vs. ShimSPOT treatment

Here you’ll see the distinct differences in treatment results, conventional intratympanic steroid injection vs. ShimSPOT treatment.

This patient visited my clinic 2 days after feeling of ear-fulness.

His hearing test showed a definite hearing loss, especially in lower frequencies.


If it were normal, the graph would be higher than 20.

The graph is located 45dB at 0.25kHz, which means his low frequencies are damaged.



He wanted to try the conventional intratympanic steroid injection first.

You can see the result here.

There were no big differences in his hearing test results after getting the conventional treatment.

We recommended ShimSPOT treatment, injecting PRP(Platelet-rich plasma) using ShimSPOT device through his eardrum to stimulate and regenerate his inner ear stem cells.

You can see the result of ShimSPOT treatment here.

All the blue line is located at 20dB or higher, which means his hearing is completely recovered.
