The diagnostic criteria for bilateral involvement of Meniere's disease delineated in our previous study were used to evaluate patients' anxieties and doctors' impressions in 135 cases of Meniere's disease with bilateral fluctuant hearing loss. These patients tended to have anxieties about disruption of their daily activities and their doctors tended to have the impression that their response to the therapy with diuretics, steroids or hospitalization was poor. Thus, the early diagnosis of bilaterality of the disease and intensive treatment such as sac op-eration or drug therapy is necessary.
