Medical history (recurrent vertigo + hearing issues)
Hearing tests (audiometry) – Checks for low-frequency hearing loss
Balance tests (VNG, VEMP, or ECOG) – Measures inner ear function
MRI or CT scans – Rules out tumors (like acoustic neuroma)
Medical Treatments
While no cure exists, these treatments help manage symptoms:
1. Medications
Anti-vertigo drugs (Meclizine, Betahistine) – Reduce dizziness
Anti-nausea meds (Dramamine, Zofran) – Ease vomiting
Diuretics (Hydrochlorothiazide) – Reduce fluid buildup
Steroids (Oral or Injections) – For severe inflammation
2. Non-Invasive Therapies
Vestibular rehab therapy (VRT) – Improves balance
Hearing aids – If hearing loss worsens
Pressure pulse devices (Meniett device) – May help fluid drainage
3. Surgical Options (Rare Cases)
Endolymphatic sac decompression – Reduces fluid pressure
Vestibular nerve section – Stops vertigo signals
Labyrinthectomy – Destroys balance function (last resort)
