Abstract
Intramuscular dosages of streptomycin sulfate were titrated in eight patients with bilateral Meniere's disease in an attempt to alleviate disabling vertigo and hearing loss. It appears possible to eliminate the vertiginous episodes, preserve or improve hearing, and avoid ataxia and oscillopsia in most of these individuals. At present we consider this treatment regimen our first choice of therapy in people with bilateral active Meniere's disease or in patients whose only hearing ear is actively fluctuating and in whom associated disabling vertigo is present. Great caution and supervision should be exercised in the use of streptomycin titration therapy in the individual with bilateral Meniere's disease, as further experience is required to determine the efficacy of this form of management.
