Can we use
electrocochleography as a clinical tool in the diagnosis of Meniere's disease during the early symptomatic period?
Intracochlear
electrocochleography during cochlear implantation.
Electrocochleography during Cochlear Implantation for Hearing Preservation.
Electrocochleography was supposed to be the most specific test to diagnose Meniere's disease for a long time.
Diagnosing patients with cochlear hydrops involves a thorough history and physical examination along with diagnostic testing, including audiometry,
electrocochleography, and brainstem responses.
Intraoperative force and
electrocochleography measurements in an animal model of cochlear implantation.
In addition, 22 patients had undergone preoperative transtympanic
electrocochleography according to the method described by Aran.
Based on the above discussion, it is mandatory to identify and select candidates for surgical exploration, considering the possibility of using less invasive diagnostic tools, such as the detection of perilymph-specific protein [20-22], neurophysiological tests (
electrocochleography), multifrequency tympanometry [23], instrumental examination (vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials) [24], and low-frequency sound stimulation during posturography [25].
In an experiment by Walsted et al, the authors drained CSF from 18 guinea pigs and compared their pre- and post-drainage
electrocochleography results with those of 18 untreated control animals.
Analysis of Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials and
Electrocochleography in Noise Induced Hearing Loss.
All patients had undergone a full evaluation of their hearing loss, including audiometry, otoacoustic emission testing,
electrocochleography, and brainstemevoked response testing, depending on the individual's underlying etiology.
Electrocochleography (ECochG), a measure of electrical activity from the cochlea and the auditory nerve, is considered to be the only objective electrophysiological tool able to measure EH [7-9].
