Vestibular and audiologic functions in XXXX -treated Meni  re's disease.

@entity1 @entity801 @entity9303 @entity391 @entity1109 @entity393 @entity346
Fifteen @entity1 with disabling @entity9303 were treated with local intratympanic administration of @entity801 once daily. They had suffered from frequent attacks of vertigo and @entity391 , the hearing in the affected ears was decreased permanently, and spontaneous @entity346 was observed. The number of treatment days ranged between 3 and 11. Follow-up time was 1 to 6 years. For evaluation of the treatment, audiologic and vestibular examinations were used, including the broad frequency-band rotatory test (0.4-4.5 Hz). Fourteen @entity1 were free from vertigo after treatment. In 5 @entity1 , there was an increased @entity393 , and in 10 it remained unchanged. @entity1109 were diminished. After treatment, all ears were unresponsive to caloric stimulation. The clinical examination and rotatory testing in light with sinusoidal stimulation revealed good central compensation of the vestibular loss. However, with pseudorandomized oscillations in darkness, the broad frequency-band rotatory test quantified the loss of peripheral vestibular function and was able to detect the side of the lesion in eight of nine @entity1 .
