    Abstract:
    This paper is, aiming at understanding disturbances of and correllation between colchear and vestibular functions in Meniere's disease. Auditory and vestibular functions in 121 Meniere cases (70 males and 51 females, age ranging from 19 to 63 years), diagnosed according to the AAO-HNS criteria, were analysed. The results were as follows: 1)There was positive correlation between semicircular canal paresis and hearing impairment. 2) There was statistically significant positive correlation between hearing impairment and the -SP/AP ratio. 3) There was statistically significant correlation between hearing impairment and glycerin test result, the rate of positive result being higher in those with advanced hearing loss than in those with mild loss. 4) There was correlation between the rate of positive glycerin test result and audiogram configuration. The rate with rising audiogram pattern was higher than with that falling pattern (69.0% vs 33.3%). It was also found that ECochG was far more effective than glycerin test in diagnosing Meniere's disease. The physiologic basis and significance of ECochG and glycerin test in Meniere's disease were discussed.
