ABSTRACT
Meniere’s disease is an inner ear disorder characterized by aural fullness, spontaneous attacks of vertigo, fluctuating low-frequency sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus. There are various tests such as puretone audiometry, electrocochleography,
glycerol test, Caloric test, Cochlear hydrops analysis masking which have been utilised in diagnosing the Meniere’s disease. Recently cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials and ocular vestibular myogenic potentials have been utilised to measure
the functioning of the sacculocollic and otolith ocular pathway respectively. The objective of the present study is to provide an
overview of the cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials tests findings in individuals with Meniere’s disease.
