Abstract
Lowering of the ambient pressure has been reported to have a positive effect on the symptoms in Menière's disease. In order to further investigate this hypothesis the symptoms in the long-term span were studied in 54 Menière patients who had undergone low-pressure chamber tests. Lowering of the ambient pressure can induce a temporary but not a permanent hearing improvement in patients with Menière's disease. The results also indicate positive effects on other symptoms in Menière's disease, but this could not be statistically proven.
