As salvage therapy, these patients were offered either 3 sessions of rheopheresis (33 pts) or intratympanic steroid treatment through MicroWick application (19 pts). Pure tone audiometry was performed at diagnosis, at the 1st month and the 1st year during the follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients in the rheopheretic arm had higher hearing loss than in the MicroWick arm (81% vs. 52%, p\u2009=\u20090.04). In spite of this, there was a significant improvement for patients in the rheopheretic arm (27% of hearing loss reduction, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) after the 1st month and this remained unchanged during the 1st year, while no improvement was seen in the MicroWick arm (0% of hearing loss reduction, p\u2009=\u20090.424). We found no predictive factor for steroid-failure in first-line therapy. Older age ( p\u2009=\u20090.003), presence of vertigo ( p\u2009=\u20090.006) and more profound initial hearing loss ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) were identified as negative prognostic
