title: [Indirect electric stimulation of the auditory neural structures in the complex treatment of sensorineural hearing loss and subjective noise in the ears].
abstract: Indirect or transdermal electrostimulation (ES) was used in 62 patients suffering from neurosensory hypoacusis stage II-III. The procedure was conducted with the help of an +electric stimulator made on the country and a device providing an automatic change of the polarity. Disappearance of noise in the ears, better hearing, 10-15 dB shifts in auditory thresholds were achieved in 20 patients (32.3%). Noise in the ears declined, hearing improved subjectively in 25 (40.3%) of the patients. 17 (27.4%) of the patients did not respond. ES is recommended as a method of choice in combined treatment of neurosensory hypoacusis and subjective noise in the ears.
