Abstract
A patient with Meniere's disease demonstrating alternating seesaw-like fluctuation of bilateral hearing loss was treated by intravenous drip injection of glycerol for about 3 years and glycerol test had been performed 59 times. The results showed that the response on the glycerol test was very good even at the advanced stage, but the hearing activity gradually worsened. When the response on the glycerol test was good, his hearing activity recovered quickly after the glycerol test regardless of the hearing level. These results suggest that glycerol is not effective for controlling the hearing loss in Meniere's disease but glycerol might be useful for predicting the recovery of hearing loss or checking the potential of hearing activity.
