The effects of administration of adenosine triphosphate in cases of nerve deafness are studied. The patients are composed of 7 cases 12 ears of Meniere's disease, 4 cases 7 ears of sound traumatism, 8 cases 13 ears unknown nerve injury, and 14 cases 25 ears of streptomycin deafness, the total of 33 cases 57 ears. The treatment consisted of the use of adephos, a derivative of adenosine triphosphate, admixed with adequate amounts of Vitamin l3l and solution of glucose given daily by intravenous route. By this method of treatment hearing recovery was recognized in 19 ears out of the 57; favorable results were also seen in cases of Maniere's syndrome, of sound trauma and other nerve deafnesses whose cause was known but within 3 years after their respective onset. Tinnitus in 13 ears out of 20 showed alleviation or recovery; 6 cases of Meniere's syndrome showed a complete recovery.
