Brief Summary
This project aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Yiyuancong, an independently developed traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula based on the homology of medicine and food, in participants with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) and to elucidate its potential underlying mechanisms. This study is designed as a multicenter, randomized controlled trial (RCT), utilizing dynamic randomization for participant allocation. Due to the requirement for the experimental group to continuously administer the TCM preparation for 1-2 months, this study is conducted as an open-label (non-blinded) trial. All participants will undergo audiological evaluations at baseline, day 7 of treatment, and upon completion of the first and second treatment courses. Based on previous research regarding integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine for SSNHL, the estimated effect size (ES) for the improvement of pure-tone thresholds compared with Western medicine alone ranges from 0.5 to 0.8. Assuming an effect size of 0.5 for the difference in pure-tone audiometry (PTA) improvement between the experimental and control groups, with a significance level (α) of 0.05 (one-tailed) and a statistical power (1-β) of 0.8, the required sample size calculated via G\*Power software is 51 per group. Accounting for a 20% dropout rate, the investigators plan to enroll 64 participants per group (total N = 128).
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) occurring within 72 hours, with a hearing threshold decrease of 20 dB at at least two consecutive frequencies. 2. Enrollment must be completed within 14 days of the onset of SSNHL. 3. Males or females aged 18 to 60 years. 4. Ability to understand the study protocol and comply with regular follow-up visits. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnancy or lactation (breastfeeding). 2. History of chronic ear disease, prior ear surgery, autoimmune hearing loss, or a confirmed diagnosis of Meniere's disease. 3. Receipt of corticosteroid therapy for any reason within the previous 30 days. 4. Presence of autoimmune diseases or chronic inflammatory diseases. 5. Severe hepatic or renal impairment. 6. Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, renders the participant unsuitable for inclusion.
