    Transtympanic electrocochleography revealed that a decrease in negative summating potential is a sensitive indicator for cochlear changes in Meniere's disorder. This finding may predict the success of endolymphatic sac surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neuroscience
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Meniere's disorder is a complex inner ear condition affecting hearing and balance.
    • Current diagnostic methods for Meniere's disorder have limitations in reflecting cochlear changes.
    • Understanding cochlear pathophysiology is crucial for effective treatment strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the utility of transtympanic electrocochleography (tECOG) during glycerol dehydration in patients with Meniere's disorder.
    • To evaluate the sensitivity of negative summating potential (SP) changes compared to traditional audiometric measures.
    • To explore the potential of SP changes as a prognostic indicator for endolymphatic sac surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Thirteen patients diagnosed with Meniere's disorder underwent tECOG.

  • Glycerol dehydration was administered during the electrocochleography procedure.
  • Results were compared with pure tone audiometry and speech discrimination scores.

    • Main Results:

    • A decrease in the negative summating potential (SP) was the most frequent finding during glycerol dehydration.
    • The observed decrease in negative SP was more sensitive in detecting cochlear alterations than pure tone audiometry and speech discrimination.
    • A pathophysiological explanation for the SP changes was proposed.

    Conclusions:

    • Reduced negative SP during glycerol dehydration is a sensitive indicator of cochlear changes in Meniere's disorder.
    • This electrophysiological finding may serve as a valuable prognostic tool for endolymphatic sac surgery outcomes.
    • Further research can validate the use of negative SP as a biomarker for Meniere's disease progression and treatment response.
