Background and Objectives : In Meniere¡¯s disease, the relationship between the vertigo attacks and prognosis of hearing remains unclear. Our study aimed to elucidate the possible role of recurrent vertigo in the prognosis of hearing in Meniere¡¯s disease.
Materials and Methods : The medical records of 53 patients with definite Meniere¡¯s disease over 2 years follow-up were analyzed retrospectively and we analyzed the changes of vertigo and hearing over time.
Results: While 49% of patients who were treated conservatively experienced recurrent vertigo attacks, 40% of patients did not have an episode of vertigo during the follow-up. Worsening of hearing and fluctuation were found in about 30% and 26%, respectively. There is no obvious coincidence in the course of vertigo and hearing.
Conclusion: The prognosis of hearing dose not depend on the the presence of recurrent vertigo in Meniere¡¯s disease.
