Allergy has been reported as a cause of Menière's disease. King et al. have established the validity of the provocative food test (PFT) for the diagnosis of food allergy. When the PFT is used to test patients with Menière's disease, the test is considered positive if the patient develops aural fullness, hearing loss, increased tinnitus, or dizziness during challenge with the offending food and relief of these symptoms during neutralization. Ferraro et al. have shown that electrocochleography (ECoG) provides an objective indication of subjective symptoms in Menière's disease by demonstrating an increased SP/AP amplitude ratio when the symptoms of aural fullness and hearing loss are present. We present several patients with Menière's disease in whom measurement of the SP/AP amplitude ratio was compared with symptom production during antigenic challenge and neutralization.
过敏已被报道为梅尼埃病的一个病因。金等人已经证实了激发性食物试验（PFT）在诊断食物过敏方面的有效性。当使用PFT对梅尼埃病患者进行检测时，如果患者在接触致病食物期间出现耳闷、听力损失、耳鸣加重或头晕，并且在中和过程中这些症状得到缓解，则该试验被认为是阳性。费拉罗等人已经表明，耳蜗电图（ECoG）通过在出现耳闷和听力损失症状时显示SP/AP振幅比值增加，为梅尼埃病的主观症状提供了客观指标。我们介绍了几位梅尼埃病患者，在这些患者中，将SP/AP振幅比值的测量结果与抗原激发和中和过程中的症状产生情况进行了比较。
