Background: Intra-tympanic injections of gentamicin (ITG), a known ototoxic agent, have been proven to be effective in controlling Menière's disease (MD) symptoms, in patients who did not respond to conservative therapy, although its safety was questionable.
Objectives: To study whether low-concentration ITG, in refractory MD, had an effect on the ipsilateral hearing, in comparison to the contralateral ear, and to study the effectiveness of such treatment.
Methods: A comparative, retrospective cohort study was conducted between 2003 and 2015, and compared the change in the hearing level between the injected ear and the contralateral, untreated ear.
