Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a Double-blind, Randomized, Sham-controlled, Investigator-initiated trial. To explore the effectiveness of non-invasive inner ear electrical stimulation of the mastoid behind the ear in controlling auditory symptoms and dizziness in patients with Meniere's disease.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with dizziness (Meniere's) only, who understand the nature of the study and are willing to participate voluntarily.

• The frequency of the hearing loss is between 250 kHz and 1 kHz.

• Patients with bilateral 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz hearing threshold averages within 65 dB HL
