Acoustic trauma-induced Meniere's syndrome.
Eight male patients suffering from Menière's syndrome are presented. All patients sustained sudden or prolonged exposure to severe noise levels and suffer from acoustic trauma. The incidence of Menière's syndrome in our group of patients is significantly higher than in series reported in the normal population. Our presentation supports the implication of acoustic trauma as a possible cause of Menière's syndrome.
