      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The patients are allocated into either the intervention or control group using a non-stratified block randomization method to keep an even randomization ratio of (1:1). Random Allocation Software is used by our expert analytics to determine the list and group of patients. He is blinded to the selection process and pre- and post-operative assessments. The block size will be equal and is set to 4, the sufficient and estimated sample size will be 35, then the allocation code is set to sequential. The analytics will use the output of software to determine the sequence and allocation of patients. Then each code is written on a non-transparent envelope and a paper is put in it in which the intervention or control is written on the paper. The series of the envelope will be according to the software's list and they will keep in a large box with a locker. The analytics has the key for the box and this box will be kept in his room which the analytics has its only key and has no windows. As the patients enrolled in the study sequentially, the analytics use the designated envelope, Blinding description: Both patients and clinicians are blinded in this study. drug and placebo use in the similar pack with label of A or B.
At the beginning of procedure, the clinicians write the label of drug and the top of the questioner.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: in the intervention group patients undergo stapedectomy surgery before implanting the prosthesis 4 drops of dexamethasone are poured into the base of the steps bone and the oval window. Intervention 2: Control group: in the control group instead of dexamethasone a few drops of normal saline are poured into the base of the steps bone and the oval window and then the prosthesis is going to get inserted.</i_freetext>
