Intratympanic gentamicin injection achieves control of vertigo in 80%-90% of patients. Risks include prolonged imbalance from delayed vestibular compensation after treatment, as well as sensorineural hearing loss, both of which are generally preferable to disabling vertigo attacks....

Rotational testing was repeated before each injection and at the conclusion of therapy to assess changes in the peripheral vestibular response. The patients' subjective response to therapy was followed. Results: Follow-up has been 10 to 69 months with successful control of vertigo in all patients....
After an intratympanic treatment of gentamicin, patients may experience unsteadiness and dysequilibrium beginning a few days after the injection. This often is short-lived but may last a few weeks, especially in the elderly. The author uses a protocol in which the number of gentamicin treatments ...

A TT injection of gentamicin has become an accepted alternative therapy for patients with Meniere’s disease whose symptoms cannot be controlled by diet and medication. TT injection of a total dose of 10–110 mg delivered over 1–12 doses has been shown to control vertigo from Meniere’s dise...
Patients were classified into two groups: single injection vs. multiple injections. Multiple injections group was composed of patients with poor vertigo control after initial ITG who required second or third ITG later in follow up period. Results: VOR gain differences of both horizontal and posterior...
