title: [Noninvasive assessment of intracochlear pressure. III. Case reports of patients with intracochlear hyper- and hypotension].
abstract: It was the scope of two previous papers to outline the basics and possible neurotological applications of the tympanic membrane displacement technique (TMD). The present paper is aimed at briefly reviewing five distinct cases where a sudden sensorineural hearing loss with/without tinnitus could be monitored by the TMD technique. These features include a sudden hearing loss upon lumbar puncture, the audiological manifestation of an internal hydrocephalus, stapes gusher and the round window rupture. All symptoms are based on a change in intracranial and intracochlear pressure which in turn leads to the manifestation of the previously unknown sensorineural hearing loss and/or tinnitus.
