Abstract
Fulness or pressure symptoms in the ear frequently means disease of the inner ear and presents specific diagnostic criteria. The history of vertiginous crisis, fluctuating loss of hearing, tinnitus, and fulness in the ear is sufficient evidence to establish the diagnosis of Ménière's disease. Fulness or pressure is an early and consistent symptom of labyrinthine hydrops. It was found in 48 of 51 cases in which the diagnosis of Méière's disease, or hydrops, was made.Keywords
