dear dr
the ans is cochlear type of deafness

ENG (electronystagmography):a reduced response to stimulation with cold and warm water or air which is used in this test.

Electrocholeography (ECOG) measures the excess fluid accumulation in the inner ear; in Meniere's, this test will also confirm increased pressure due to excess fluids in the inner ear

Brain Stem auditory evoked responses (BSER) will usually be normal despite the hearing loss, unless a central disorder is present

The MRI with Gadolinium :A nerve that does not show enhancement (increase in brightness), when the dye is given, rules out an acoustic neuroma from the diagnosis. (D/D)
Individuals with Lupus and severe rheumatoid arthritis, or who suffer from Grave's Disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis may be at higher risk for developing Meniere's Disease.
