Abstract
The duration and the maximum velocity of the slow phase of the nystagmus induced by the hot and cold stimuli in the caloric test were correlated with the auditory thresholds for the one hundred ears of a consecutive series of fifty cases of Menière's disease. The highest correlations were observed to occur with respect to the maximum velocity of the slow phase of the nystagmus induced by the hot thermal stimulus. A principal component analysis showed the other measures (nystagmus duration and responses to the cold stimulus) of the caloric response to have high loadings on principal components other than Component I.
