[Possible viral etiology of inner ear diseases (author's transl)].
After a short review of the possible viral etiology of inner ear diseases viral titers of 20 patients with inner ear problems are given. In the history of nearly all patients a viral infection was found. Inspite of some positive results in the titrations no significance was seen. Therefore we refute a relation between viral infection and inner ear troubles; for a practical point of view virological diagnostics is not indicated.
