Not all fluctuating hearing loss is due to Eustachian insufficiency. Not all sensorineural loss is untreatable. Fluctuating hearing loss due to endolymphatic hydrops is discussed, and the use of a low sodium diet, diuretics and vasodilators in the treatment of this disorder is described. To be effective, the treatment must be initiated early. Five typical cases are described, showing the typical presentation and response to treatment.
并非所有波动性听力损失都是由咽鼓管功能不全引起的。并非所有感音神经性听力损失都无法治疗。本文讨论了内淋巴积水引起的波动性听力损失，并描述了低钠饮食、利尿剂和血管扩张剂在治疗这种疾病中的应用。为了取得疗效，治疗必须尽早开始。文中描述了五个典型病例，展示了其典型表现及对治疗的反应。
