meniere’s disease is the disorder of inner ear characterized by vertigo, tinnitus and sensorineural hearing loss. the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (vemp) test could be useful in the analysis of saccular function, and diagnosis of meniere’s disease. in this study, we’ve analyzed the saccular function, using vemp test in different groups of meniere’s disease. patients were categorized as ...

In various patterns of sensorineural hearing loss including Ménière's disease, which may show improvement in auditory function following immunosuppressive therapy, an isolated autoimmune disease of the inner ear has been postulated. Because of the lack of well-defined diagnostic criteria to identify autoimmune processes within the inner ear and the fact that the human inner ear is one of the fe...
