Exams and Tests
The diagnosis of Ménière disease is made based on a careful history and physical exam. If the workup findings are normal and the classic symptoms continue, the diagnosis of Ménière disease is made.
- Other potentially treatable disease processes and causes for the symptoms, however, must be ruled out.
- Typically, your doctor will perform a series of basic lab tests, a hearing test, and an MRI (brain scan) to rule out other causes for the symptoms.
