Objective:
To identify etiology, clinical symptoms of bilateral vestibulopathy (BV) depending on etiology.
Results:
Idiopathic BV was identifies in one third of patients. The most common identified reasons are Meniere's disease, meningitis and ototoxicity. BV develops more often without incidental hearing loss in case of idiopathic, autoimmune etiology, ototoxicity and bilateral vestibular neuronitis. BV after neuroinfection is characterized by prompt symptoms development, bilateral severe hearing loss, Gain reduction in vHIT lower 0.4 and loss of more than 8 lines in DVA test.
Conclusion:
BV after bilateral Meniere's disease is characterized by Gain higher than 0.4 and typical clinical picture of the primary disease.
