Several clinical reports suggest allergy as a causative or associated factor in the etiology of Ménière's Disease or endolymphatic hydrops. The A.A.O.O. subcommittee reported in 1972 its criteria for a therapeutic improvement in Ménière's Disease. This important report allows for clinical studies to proceed in a scientific manner using the subcommittee's criteria to evaluate the results. In an ongoing study utilizing a double-blind crossover technique, fourteen Ménière's patients have been evaluated for allergies utilizing the Rinkle and Lee techniques for inhalent and food allergies. Several cases directly relate symptoms to specific food ingestion and were given challenge food tests.
几份临床报告表明，过敏是梅尼埃病或内淋巴积水病因中的一个致病或相关因素。美国耳鼻喉科学会小组委员会在1972年报告了其关于梅尼埃病治疗改善的标准。这份重要报告使得临床研究能够以科学的方式进行，使用该小组委员会的标准来评估结果。在一项正在进行的采用双盲交叉技术的研究中，利用林克尔和李的吸入性及食物过敏检测技术，对14名梅尼埃病患者进行了过敏评估。有几例病例直接将症状与特定食物摄入联系起来，并进行了激发食物试验。
