Abstract:

The article contains main information concerning Meniere’s disease and vestibular migraine — two the most similar in clinical manifestations cochleovestibulopathies. It also examines the differences between them in the relation of audiological and vestibular manifestations, reflects the auditory and vestibular function according to the results of instrumental examination, in order to facilitate the differential diagnostics between the two disorders. Possible options and tactics for treating Meniere’s disease and vestibular migraine are highlighted.

Keywords:

Meniere’s disease
vestibular migraine
sensorineural hearing loss
