Summary Menière’s disease (MD) is frequently over‐diagnosed in both primary and secondary care. This is unfortunate given the significant medical and social implications of such a diagnosis. Difficulties may arise in differentiating the patient with true MD from those individuals with less clearly defined disorders of cochleo‐vestibular function. In this review, we suggest a practical evidence based approach to assessment and management of the patient with MD.
