Meniere Disease
Diagnosis of Meniere Disease
Hearing tests Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) A doctor suspects Meniere disease when the person has the typical symptoms of vertigo with tinnitus and hearing loss in one ear. Also, the vertigo is not triggered by changes in body position, unlike in people with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo . Doctors also use certain techniques to check for symptoms suggesting Meniere disease. For example, they may ask the person to focus on a target while they rotate the head to one side, then to the other and observe eye movements. Doctors usually do hearing tests and sometimes Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to look for other causes of the symptoms.
