Purpose: To investigate the correlation between vestibular test abnormalities(vHIT and cVEMP)and hearing loss severity in Meniere's disease.Methods: Retrospective study of patients visiting Vestibular Clinic, Hospital Kuala Lumpur from January to November 2024.Patients' hearing levels were classified based on pure tone audiometry results.Vestibular tests (vHIT and cVEMP)were performed.Statistical analysis was conducted to corelate between hearing loss severity and vestibular dysfunction.Results and Discussion: 30 patients(24 females, 6 males)were included.The mean age was 51 years (range: 28-74 years) .12 patients had probable Meniere's disease and 18 had definitive Meniere's disease.18 had unilateral disease and 12 had bilateral disease.60 abnormal vHIT and 66 6 abnormal cVEMP results revealed no significant correlation with hearing loss.Conclusions: No significant correlation between hearing loss severity and vestibular test abnormalities in Meniere's disease.Vestibular dysfunction may not directly correlate with hearing impairment.Comprehensive vestibular testing should be emphasized in Meniere's disease management regardless of hearing status.
