Purpose  The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of the treatment, based on vertigo diaries and pure tone audiograms.    Methods  The complete medical documentation of 105 definite patients suffering from Ménière’s disease was analyzed. In the studied group, nine patients were treated with intratympanic gentamycine. Long-term follow-up of the patients was carried out, using vertigo diaries, medical letters, anamnestic data, and pure tone audiograms. Audiometric results and vertigo complaints before and after treatment were contrasted using IBM SPSS V24 software.    Results  Based on our analysis, vertigo attacks appeared significantly less often after gentamycine treatment [ p  < 0.001; Odds ratio 0.003 (95% CI 0.001–0.012)], which confirms the efficacy of the therapy. Pure tone stages before and after the application of gentamycine were contrasted using the Mann–Whitney  U  test. When comparing the audiometric results of long-term follow-ups by using the logistic regression, a statistically significant difference was observed between the treated and not treated groups [ p  = 0.001; Odds ratio 0.141 (95% CI 0.064–0.313)], and based on the survivorship curve hearing impairment was more common in the not treated group which also supports our results. Based on the non-parametric test, there was no significant difference ( p  = 0.84) between the pure-tone stages of the control group and of those treated with gentamycine.    Conclusion  Our results indicate that intratympanic gentamycine is effective in controlling vertigo attacks, and there is no higher risk for hearing loss than in case of spontaneous progression of the disorder.
