| Abstract | Introduction: Ménière's Disease (MD) is rarely found in children, as only about 0.4 - 7% of all MD cases occur in children and around 97% in adults. Thus, a few studies have been conducted on children. Also, the disease progress in children is not well known. Case Presentation: We report a 14-year-old child referred to the Echo Hearing/Balance Clinic in Mashhad, Iran, with hearing loss and vertigo complaints. Audiological studies showed hearing loss at high frequencies, and history taking, balance, and electrophysiological tests confirmed MD. Conclusions: Paying attention to signs and symptoms of hearing and balance disorders in children who refer to clinics and medical centers is very important. Accurate history taking and using a set of hearing and balance tests by an audiologist can often lead to a better diagnosis of MD. | en |
