MATERIALS and METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study in which we have compared the efficiency of two vasoactive/vasodilative agents-pentoxifylline and betahistine-separately and together for treatment of sudden deafness in 59 patients. Methylprednisolone was used in all three groups. Hearing threshold (HT) was measured, and pure tone average (PTA) was calculated on admission, after 1 week, and after 3 months.
