Abstract
Glucocorticoids（GC） are widely used in the clinical treatment of autoimmune inner ear diseases, sudden sensorineural hearing loss, Meniere's disease, sinusitis and other otolaryngology diseases. However, GC resistance remains a major factor contributing to the poor efficacy of clinical treatments. The mechanism of GC resistance is still unclear. This paper reviews the related mechanisms of GC resistance from the perspectives of GC receptor factors and non-GC receptor factors. Additionally, it summarizes the latest research progress on GC resistance in otolaryngological diseases, with the aim of identifying effective clinical alternative treatment options for reversing GC resistance in the future.
