Preventive Effect of Controlled-Release Dexamethasone on Cochlear Ossification in Meningitis Model
In pneumococcal meningitis, fibrosis and ossification occur more intensively in the basal turn of the cochlea. Controlled-release dexamethasone implants are effective in preventing cochlear ossification and fibrosis. The prevention from the structural damage indicates the potential role of these dexamethasone implants in post-meningitic hearing loss and easing cochlear implant surgeries.
