Abstract

Cellular and humoral immune reactions may play a role in the ethiopathogenesis of audiovestibular dysfunction. Immune-mediated inner ear disorders can be of cochlear and retrocochlear origin. Autoimmunity plays a certain role, but is certainly not obligatory. Anti-inflammatory treatment remains the mainstay of therapy. Such hearing disorders can further be looked upon as ‘experiments of nature’.
