New Tools Emerge to Diagnose Ménière’s Disease

On the topic of VEMPs, Dr. Hornibrook added that while many doctors in the U.S. would like to use VEMPs as a diagnostic test for Meniere’s, that might be a problem. “Some investigators claim that VEMPs are abnormally reduced in patients with vestibular migraine,” he said. “Well, you cannot have it both ways, so VEMPs cannot be considered a stand-alone test for hydrops until this is sorted out.”
