The relationship between ambient pressure changes and hearing function was investigated in 14 patients with well-defined sensorineural hearing losses caused by Meniere's disease. The period of exposure to pressure changes varied individually between one and 4 months. The evaluation of hearing function was made by means of pure-tone audiometry, speech discrimination tests and psychoacoustic measurements of the inner ear frequency selectivity. Significant changes were found in the hearing parameters in relation to the period of pressure application. The use of psychoacoustic tuning curves allowed spatial observations on changes in the frequency selectivity. This method proved to be of particular value in the assessment of the inner ear function in Meniere's disease. The results support the hypothesis that the use of overpressure creates a change in the hydrodynamic properties of the cochlea, reflected in an improvement of the inner ear frequency analysis.
对14例由梅尼埃病导致明确感音神经性听力损失的患者，研究了环境压力变化与听力功能之间的关系。压力变化的暴露期在1至4个月之间因人而异。通过纯音听力测定、言语辨别测试和内耳频率选择性的心理声学测量来评估听力功能。发现听力参数相对于压力施加期有显著变化。使用心理声学调谐曲线可对频率选择性变化进行空间观察。该方法在评估梅尼埃病患者的内耳功能方面被证明具有特殊价值。结果支持以下假设：使用超压会引起耳蜗流体动力学特性的变化，这反映在内耳频率分析的改善上。
