Summary

Stapedius-reflex measurement and the glycerol-test in combination with pure tone audiogram and speech-audiogram are reliable methods for an exact diagnosis of Menière's disease. For differential diagnosis one should know the so called “tensor tympani syndrome” which is discussed in this paper.

Zusammenfassung

Neben dem Tonaudiogramm und dem Sprachdiskriminationstest haben sich zur Komplettierung der Diagnose des Morbus Menière besonders die Messungen des Stapedius-Reflexes, die Anwendung des Glyzerol-Testes in Kombination mit dem Tonaudiogramm und dem Sprachaudiogramm bewährt. Auf das sogenannte Tensor-Tympany-Syndrom wird besonders verwiesen und auf die Schwierigkeiten hingewiesen, welches dieses Syndrom bei der Diagnose und für den psychologischen Verlauf der Erkrankung darstellt.
