title: [Changes of hearing in photon hemotherapy of patients with neurosensory hearing loss].
abstract: Results of photon hemotherapy (PH) of 63 patients with acute and 97 patients with chronic neurosensory hypoacusis (NH) are available. Hearing correction was made in 23 patients. Changes in the patients' hearing were registered by up-to-date audiological methods. Noise changes in the course of the treatment were examined using visual analogue scale. PH returned hearing to normal age-specific values in 74% of patients with acute NH. In chronic NH and in better speech intelligibility, hearing of pure tones decreased by 20.3 dB. Lowering of noise intensity enabled electroacoustic hearing correction in patients whose hearing had been thought uncorrectable.
