Ménière's Disease With a Prior Diagnosis of Idiopathic Sudden Hearing Loss
Cases of sudden sensorineural hearing loss that represent the first episode of definite Ménière's disease are rare. A moderate hearing loss at low frequencies, accompanied by tinnitus and vertigo during an episode of sudden hearing loss, should raise suspicion for Ménière's disease rather than idiopathic sudden hearing loss. Patients with sudden hearing loss secondary to an episode of Ménière's disease tend to show significantly greater hearing improvement compared with those with idiopathic sudden hearing loss.
