Hearing, balance, and imaging assessment in adolescent Meniere's disease: A retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To retrospectively analyze clinical features in adolescent Menière's disease (MD).

Methods

The medical records of adolescents with MD (11-17 years old) from May 2014 to March 2023 in Shandong Provincial ENT Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including clinical features, a battery of auditory and vestibular function tests, sensory organization test, and imaging assessments. Patients with recurrent vertigo of childhood (RVC) were as controls.

Results

Compared with RVC, adolescent MD showed higher pure tone average threshold (p < .001), lower speech discrimination score (p = .014), and lower otoacoustic emission pass rates (p = .005). Adolescents with MD exhibited significant reduction in equilibrium score (Conditions 1, 5, and 6; p
