The usual treatment of disabling vertigo in MD is based on vestibular deafferentation by labyrinth ablation. The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy of the CI in the control of disabling vestibular manifestations in the case of MD unresponsive to medical treatments. Methods: A case series of five MD patients with disabling vestibular manifestations associated with profound hearing loss was included. A complete audio-vestibular evaluation was performed after CI positioning. Results: All patients reported clinical benefits after implant positioning: no vestibular crisis was reported after the surgery. The vHIT and the caloric test showed a normal function or a mild vestibular hypofunction. The auditory performances were comparable to those in the general implanted population. All patients reported subjective tinnitus reduction. Conclusions: To date, very few studies have reported vestibular outcomes in hydropic pathology on the implanted side; our results are encouraging. We can therefore confirm the efficacy and safety of the CI as a unique treatment for hearing loss, dizziness, and tinnitus in case of disabling cochlear hydrops, especially in those patients where the history of the disease requires preservation of the vestibular function.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/audiolres12040040","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,22]],"date-time":"2022-07-22T12:53:45Z","timestamp":1658494425000},"page":"393-403","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Control of Disabling Vertigo in M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s Disease Following Cochlear Implantation without Labyrinthectomy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Andrea","family":"Canale","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Turin, 10124 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giulia","family":"Dalmasso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Service Otorhinolaryngologie, Centre Hospitalier des Escartons, 05100 Brian\u00e7on, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Albera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Turin, 10124 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sergio","family":"Lucisano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Otorinolaringoiatria U, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza di Torino, 10126 Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8311-0322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"George","family":"Dumas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Service Otorhinolaryngologie, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Grenoble Alpes, 38100 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Flavio","family":"Perottino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Service Otorhinolaryngologie, Centre Hospitalier des Escartons, 05100 Brian\u00e7on, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9608-5149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Albera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Turin, 10124 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"887","article-title":"Diagnostic criteria for M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s disease.
