The study aimed to assess a new method for diagnosing Meniere's disease using electrocochleography during different stages of the condition. By measuring the ratio of certain signals in the ear, researchers found that this method was more effective during acute attacks of Meniere's disease compared to periods of quiescence. The area curve ratio was more sensitive in detecting the disease than the amplitude ratio. This suggests that using this ratio can improve the accuracy of diagnosing Meniere's disease, especially during acute episodes.
