Abstract:
Cochlear and vestibular functions of 30 patients suffering from Méniere's disease have been analyzed through audiometric and electronystagmographic studies. Auditive thresholds in low, medium and high frequencies have been correlated with the results of the caloric and pendular tests. Statistical analysis has demonstrated that there is no significant relationship between caloric and pendular reflectivity and hearing loss in the mentioned frequencies. In conclusion, in Méniere's disease hearing losses and vestibular alterations follow a different pathologic pattern.
