Because of progressive sensorineural hearing loss 26 patients of the age of 2 to 19 years were treated for 10 days with infusions of prednisolone, pentoxifylline and piracetam. After this treatment improved, auditory thresholds were found in 58%. In comparison with a previous investigation (treatment with prednisolone and pentoxifylline except piacetam), no significant difference between these two methods of therapy was seen.
