Abstract

Objectives: Meniere disease is a clinical syndrome characterized by the four major symptoms of episodic vertigo, sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness. Sensorineural hearing loss, especially low frequency, is the characteristic type of audiogram in Meniere's disease. However, it is difficult to distinguish idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) with vertigo from the first attack of Meniere disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of progression into Meniere Disease from low frequency ISSNHL.
Method: Two hundred eighty-three patients were included in this study. We classified the patients with ISSNHL according to the hearing loss in audiogram and analyzed how many of them actually progressed to Meniere disease based on diagnosis criteria.
Results: Among the 240 patients, 37.1% (89 patients) were confirmed low frequency ISSNHL and 14.6% (13 patients) of them were diagnosed with Meniere disease.
Conclusions: This study showed that the progression from low frequency ISSNHL to Meniere disease was higher than other frequency ISSNHL, as in other studies.
