Hearing loss in Meniere’s disease




Meniere’s disease is an inner ear disorder which episodic sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus and aural fullness sensation are its hallmark symptoms. Acute attacks are superimposed on a gradual deterioration in sensory neural hearing in the involved ear, typically in the low frequencies . If audiometry is done during the attack phase of disease, it shows sensorineural hearing loss which will be reduced after the attack phase.


In the study by Richard R. (entitled as Recovery of Hearing in Meniere’s Disease after Antiviral Treatment), it is unclear in which phase of disease, audiometry was done (during attack phase or after it). So, it is proposed to report in which phase of disease, audiometry was done.
