Ménière's disease the inner ear. The American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery Committee on Hearing and Equilibrium (AAO HNS CHE) set criteria for diagnosing Ménière's, as well as defining two sub-categories of Ménière's: cochlear (without vertigo) and vestibular (without deafness). In 1972, the Academy defined criteria for diagnosing Ménière's disease as: In 1985, this list changed to alter wording, such as changing "deafness" to "hearing loss associated with tinnitus, characteristically of low frequencies" and requiring more than one attack of vertigo to diagnose. Finally in 1995, the list was again altered to allow for degrees of the disease: In 2015, the
Autoimmune inner ear disease cells that cause damage to the inner ear. There are several theories that propose a cause of AIED: Currently, the cross-reactions theory appears to be the favored mechanism of AIED pathogenesis. Since AIED symptoms are fairly common to many hearing loss disorders, it may be difficult to diagnose AIED without performing multiple medical tests. Some examples of these tests include: There are also blood tests specific to inner ear disorders: Though it has also been proposed that the use of anti heat shock protein 70 antibodies may be useful in the detection and diagnosis of AIED, there is not enough
