Abstract

Introduction: sensorineural hearing loss is defined as the loss of hearing capacity, producing a difficulty or impossibility to hear normally, where there is damage to the inner ear or the auditory nerve. Medical ozone has proven biological effects that make it very useful in this pathology, since it intervenes in the intracellular metabolism regulating its redox state. Methods: a descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study was carried out in the Natural and Traditional Medicine Service of the Dr. "León Cuervo Rubio" Clinical and Surgical Teaching Hospital, with the Otorhinolaryngology Service of the General Hospital Abel Santamaría Cuadrado to evaluate the effectiveness of rectal ozone therapy in patients with Sensorineural Hearing Loss. The sample consisted of 35 patients who met the inclusion criteria. A traditional clinical history was taken and an audiometric evaluation by the ENT specialist was recorded before and after treatment with prior informed consent. Results: The nosological entity was predominantly male and between 45 and 54 years of age. The most significant risk factors were arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, 54,20 % had good response to treatment.
