Conditions

Meniere’s disease

Interventions

Experimental group:Under general anesthesia, the approach behind the ear was adopted, and after the mastoid process was contoured, the three semicircular canals were contoured, and the fine sand drill
Control group:Tympanocentesis on the affected side was performed under local anesthesia, and gentamicin was injected intratympanically. The patient lies flat on the side of the head, the affected ear
2) The subject has dizziness/vertigo, balance disorders, and decreased vHIT gain, e

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Confirmed unilateral Meniere's disease according to the 2015 Barany diagnostic criteria. i. Two or more spontaneous vertigo episodes, each lasting 20 minutes to 12 hours. ii. At least one audiologically documented low to mid-frequency sensorineural hearing loss (0.5, 1, 2 k Hz) before, during, or after a vertigo episode. iii. Fluctuating auditory symptoms (hearing, tinnitus, or tinnitus) in the affected ear. iv. Other diagnoses that are not better explained. 2. According to previous medical records, after >=6 months of drug treatment, and oral/intravenous hormones >=7 days and/or tympanic injection >=4 times) during the attack period, the vertigo is still poorly controlled, that is, the average number of episodes per month during the treatment period in the 6 months before enrollment>=1, or a total of >=6 episodes in 6 months; 3. PTA in the affected ear shows an average threshold of 0.5, 1,2k Hz for three frequencies PTA>=60dB; The contralateral ear shows normal hearing matched for age; 4. Duration of the disease >=24 months (from the first onset of MD symptoms); 5. 18-70 years old, able to tolerate general anesthesia surgery; 6. Willing to cooperate with the examination and follow-up plan, and willing to sign the informed consent form.
