Abstract

ABSTRACT

Progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of inner ear disorders. Autoimmune inner ear disorders and Ménière's disease (MD), the prototype inner ear disease, are highlighted in this review of current knowledge and contemporary dietary, medical, surgical, and vestibular rehabilitation therapy. A number of other peripheral vestibular disorders are presented and contrasted with MD.

KEYWORDS
