- MRIIn the inner ear, you will find a sophisticated nerve network that collects and transmits hearing (cochlear nerve) and balance (vestibular nerve) data that is transferred via the vestibulocochlear nerve to the brain. ABR’s and MRI’s are used to make sure there are no growths on this nerve.
- Computed TomographyHe will then recommend a hearing test and an ENG (electonystagmogram) test for balance. To get more data about your inner ear fluid pressure, he may suggest you take an ECOG (electrocochleography) test. Plus, he may suggest a CT (computed tomography) test or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) test to rule out the presence of a growth on your hearing and balance nerve. He can then make an assessment whether your case of Meniere’s Disease is definite or probable and then develop a treatment strategy for you.
