In this study an electroacoustic impedance bridge and an X–Y recorder were used to measure maximum compliance (Cm) in 53 patients symptomatic of Meniere's disease in only one ear. Various parameters of Meniere's disease were investigated by comparing Cm values between ears. The parameters which were investigated included: (1) Meniere's disease; (2) the symptom of fullness; (3) the length of disease; and (4) the degree of hearing loss. The data were interpreted as demonstrating that there were differences in Cm which were indicative and consistent with what would be expected for mechanical changes in the inner ear associated with Meniere's disease.
