“…The frequency of an abnormal UW in MD in our series was comparable with earlier reports that approximately half of the patients had unilateral vestibular hypofunction seen on bithermal caloric testing [12,13]. Furthermore, the differences among groups were not significant.…”

A (r = 0.749, P < 0.001). OT and UW were significantly dissociated with time (P < 0.001). For the 67 patients with MD, no correlation between the degree of OT and severity of UW was seen in MD group A. No significant dissociation change was revealed among the groups (P = 0.114). The OT abnormality is remarkable during the acute phase of VN, whereas it might not be remarkable immediately after a vertigo attack in MD. This finding can be used to differentiate MD and VN, especially when no definite hearing loss is seen or VN recurs.

“…The average latency of the control group was increased when compared to the average latency of the SCD group. Since the interpeaks I-V represent the speed of neural transmission from the moment when the sound is emitted, passing through the whole peripheral hearing system, and the moment it reaches the inferior colliculus, an increase in its speed, with a consequent reduction in the interpeark interval, is indicative of electrophysiological recruitment-a cochlear phenomenon characterized by the increase in sensibility to increased intensities (Sousa et al, 2002).…”

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the integrity of the peripheral and central auditory systems of sickle cell disease (SCD) patients, through electrophysiological evaluation utilizing auditory evoked potentials, and comparing the results obtained in SCD patients with individuals without SCD. A total of 80 individuals were evaluated: 40 SCD patients; and 40 healthy age- and sex-matched controls. Brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) was used to check neural integrity and electrophysiological thresholds, and cognitive potential (P300) to analyse the auditory selective attention. Despite the exclusion of individuals with comorbidities typical of SCD, the predominance of hearing loss among the patients was detected in 16 ears (20%). The absolute latencies of the BAER were within the expected range but the SCD group showed a small but statistically significant reduction of the interpeaks I-V, indicative of cochlear alteration. P300 latency and amplitude were adequate for both groups suggesting the absence of central auditory system abnormalities. The present findings suggest that SCD causes variable degree of cochlear abnormalities without evidence of neural problems.

Ménière's disease is defined as an idiopathic syndrome characterized by endolymphatic hydrops. Various tests and measurement methods have been employed for the diagnosis of Ménière's disease. These include audiological, vestibular, radiological, clinical, and biochemical tests. However, the lack of a definitive or gold standard diagnostic test sometimes complicates the process of diagnosis. Hence, the clinician should be well-experienced in deciding when to perform a test and how to interpret the results of the test. Furthermore, having the knowledge of the validity and reliability of these tests plays a critical role. This review particularly emphasizes on remarking the validity and reliability of each test performed for the diagnosis of Ménière's disease and discussing the results according to the up-to-date literature.
