[Diagnostic significance of transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions in meniere's disease].

OBJECTIVE

To judge the diagnostic significance of TEOAE by glycerol test in Meniere's disease.

METHOD: TEOAE were recorded from all testing ears with or without Meniere's disease.

RESULT: The wave reproducibility, amplitude of response, band reproducibility, band SNR in ears of affected ears with meniere's disease after administration of glycerol were increased, about which the parameters of affected ears in positive glycerol test were obviously higher than that in negative glycerol test. All parameters in normal ears with Meniere's disease increased too, and there have the changes of main frequency.

CONCLUSION

TEOAE records of glycol test may be more sensitive and more simple than pure tone audiometry in diagnosing meniere's disease, and should be used more extensively.
