Pure-tone audiograms of 501 patients with preoperative Menière's disease were analyzed. Age of onset and incidence of bilaterality were studied. The most common audiogram was the peak-type (50.26%), next the falling-type (26.26%), and then the dip-type (9.24%). Although few papers mention this peak audiogram, we suggest it is a diagnostic feature of Menière's disease. Average age of onset was 42.59 years; this did not differ from males to females. Prevalence in females exceeded that in males by about 4:3. The disease was bilateral in 31.13%. Generally, those with better hearing thresholds at the first examination had less tendency to develop bilaterality. Age of onset was not significantly correlated with bilaterality.
分析了501例术前梅尼埃病患者的纯音听力图。研究了发病年龄和双侧发病率。最常见的听力图类型为尖峰型（50.26%），其次是下降型（26.26%），然后是低谷型（9.24%）。虽然很少有文献提及这种尖峰型听力图，但我们认为它是梅尼埃病的一个诊断特征。平均发病年龄为42.59岁；男性和女性之间无差异。女性患病率比男性高约4:3。31.13%的患者为双侧患病。一般来说，首次检查时听力阈值较好的患者发生双侧患病的倾向较小。发病年龄与双侧患病无显著相关性。
