Transtympanic (TT) electrocochleography (ECochG) data recorded with click stimuli and tone bursts (1, 2, 4, and 8 kHz) were evaluated in 50 patients with Meniere's disease and compared with the data from control groups of 10 sensorineural hearing impaired patients and 5 subjects with normal hearing. The mean summating potential (SP) amplitude was larger in the Meniere's disease group for 1, 2, and 8 kHz. The low frequency (1 or 2 kHz) SP decreased in 59% of the Meniere's disease patients during a glycerol dehydration test, whereas subjective hearing improved in only 29%. The use of ECochG with the monitoring of SP thus improves the sensitivity of the glycerol test for the detection of endolymphatic hydrops. There appeared no clear relation between clinical observations and the ECochG data either before or after glycerol. However, the Meniere's disease patients with a large negative SP at low frequencies also had larger action potential (AP) and often had short-term symptoms. The present report confirms the usefulness of measuring the SP in the diagnosis of Meniere's disease.

Background: Current clinical decision support systems (DSS) are trained and validated on observational data from the clinic in which the DSS is going to be applied. This is problematic for treatments that have already been validated in a randomized clinical trial (RCT), but have not yet been introduced in any clinic. In this work, we report on a method for training and validating the DSS core before introduction to a clinic, using the RCT data themselves.

Objective: To better understand the clinical phenotype of Ménière's disease (MD), we examined family history, thyroid disorder, migraine, and associated disorders in complaints of people living with MD.
Method: We designed the study as a retrospective and examined data gathered from 912 participants with MD. Their data were originally collected by the Finnish Ménière Federation (FMF).
Hyperacusis and Tinnitus in Vestibular Migraine Patients.

Sensorineural Pathology Programme, Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red en Enfermedades Raras, CIBERER, Madrid, Spain.
Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of tinnitus and hyperacusis in patients with vestibular migraine (VM), and to define the association with hearing loss, anxiety, and depression.
Design: A cross-sectional, multicenter study including 51 adult patients with definite or probable VM, defined according to the Barany Society diagnostic criteria. Audiological examinations were performed by pure tones extended to high frequencies to assess hearing thresholds.

: Spontaneous nystagmus during vertigo attacks of Menière's disease has been essentially described as horizontal, beating ipsilaterally (irritative type) or contralaterally (deficit type) to the hearing loss. Our main objective was to describe the characteristics of nystagmus during vertigo attacks. The second objective was to determine the feasibility of self-video recording of eye movements by a mobile phone.
