We included only patients given medical management, and hyperbaric oxygen was not performed in any patients. Pure tone audiometric measurements investigated before (PTA I) and after treatment at two weeks (PTA II) and three months (PTA III). We also performed cranial MRI on all patients to disclose intracranial pathology if it was present. Results: The mean age of our cases of was 49.7 years. No certain etiology was detected in all patients in the study. The improvement of hearing loss in our cases was classified according to Siegel's criteria as follows: Type I (3.3%) in 2 patients, Type II (16.7%) in 10 patients, Type III (33.3%) in 20 patients, Type IV (28) in 28 patients (46.7%).
