Laterality of Audiovestibular Symptoms Predicts Laterality of Endolymphatic Hydrops in Hydropic Ear Disease (Menière)

Conclusion:
In summary, in this study population the degree of low-frequency hearing loss (250 Hz–1 kHz) in combination with auditory symptoms during attacks identified the ear with the greater extent of endolymphatic hydrops in all patients. In conclusion, intratympanic contrast application to the index ear seems to be sufficient to confirm the diagnosis of HED (Menière) on MR imaging.
