Electrocochleographic findings: Menière's disease versus sudden sensorineural hearing loss. 1997

Institute of Otolaryngology, University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy.

Electrocochleography was conducted in 185 patients with Menière's disease and 117 with sudden deafness. Electrophysiological findings from the two groups were compared in order to identify pathogenic similarities between the two conditions. Parameters investigated were the summating potential (SP)/action potential (AP) ratio, audiometric profiles and audiometric changes after medical therapy. A high SP/AP ratio was found in the patients with sudden deafness, thus supporting a possible hydropic aetiology in this group. In conclusion, electrocochleography can be considered a useful technique as it permits identification of an hydropic condition in certain cases of sudden deafness.

D008575 Meniere Disease A disease of the inner ear (LABYRINTH) that is characterized by fluctuating SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS; TINNITUS; episodic VERTIGO; and aural fullness.

D003639 Hearing Loss, Sudden Sensorineural hearing loss which develops suddenly over a period of hours or a few days. It varies in severity from mild to total deafness. Sudden deafness can be due to head trauma, vascular diseases, infections, or can appear without obvious cause or warning. Deafness, Sudden,Sudden Deafness,Sudden Hearing Loss
D003937 Diagnosis, Differential Determination of which one of two or more diseases or conditions a patient is suffering from by systematically comparing and contrasting results of diagnostic measures. Diagnoses, Differential,Differential Diagnoses,Differential Diagnosis
D006319 Hearing Loss, Sensorineural Hearing loss resulting from damage to the COCHLEA and the sensorineural elements which lie internally beyond the oval and round windows. These elements include the AUDITORY NERVE and its connections in the BRAINSTEM.

D001299 Audiometry The testing of the acuity of the sense of hearing to determine the thresholds of the lowest intensity levels at which an individual can hear a set of tones. The frequencies between 125 and 8000 Hz are used to test air conduction thresholds and the frequencies between 250 and 4000 Hz are used to test bone conduction thresholds. Audiometries
D001300 Audiometry, Evoked Response A form of electrophysiologic audiometry in which an analog computer is included in the circuit to average out ongoing or spontaneous brain wave activity. A characteristic pattern of response to a sound stimulus may then become evident. Evoked response audiometry is known also as electric response audiometry.
